Abstract

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemaparan cuaca terhadap kekuatan impak dari komposit rHDPE - serat pelepah salak. Fraksi volume pada komposit adalah 30%. Spesimen dibuat menjadi 3 variasi, yaitu spesimen rHDPE murni sebagai spesimen kontrol, komposit rHDPE berpenguat serat pelepah salak dengan perlakuan alkali, dan komposit rHDPE berpenguat serat pelepah salak tanpa perlakuan alkali. Pemaparan cuaca dilakukan selama 6 bulan. Untuk mengetahui kerusakan mikroskopis spesimen, pengamatan menggunakan Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) dilakukan. Setelah 6 bulan pemaparan cuaca, hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan alkali hanya berpengaruh sebelum pemaparan cuaca. Sedangkan setelah dipaparkan cuaca, hasil antara komposit dengan perlakuan dan tanpa perlakuan alkali menunjukkan kesetaraan.

Abstract

During the current COVID-19 pandemic, we are encouraged to always obey health protocols. One of them is to use a mask. The use of masks on athletes, especially athletes with disabilities has a bad impact on the athlete's body itself. Because in the course of training, the athletes will do heavy work that requires adequate oxygen supply. In this case, the mask can reduce the athlete's respiratory effectiveness due to hypoxia. Hypoxia is a condition in which the body lacks oxygen levels. To prevent hypoxia in athletes who must continue to carry out training with the COVID-19 health protocol is to use a mask that can regulate air circulation properly. Therefore, an idea emerged to make an aerator mask that can help the respiratory system and can prevent athletes from getting hypoxia during training during a pandemic, because the aerator mask that we made is equipped with dual fans that can supply oxygen properly. Thus, athletes can exercise without fear of experiencing hypoxia disorders and remain compliant with health protocols.

Abstract

The most significant environmental problem was caused by plastic. One way to handle plastic waste was using biodegradable plastic because it faster decomposes naturally. Biodegradable plastic can be made from carrageenan by the hot press method. This method can make biodegradable plastic with large dimensions. However, the plastic quality depended on the holding time, temperature, and pressure selected during the hot pressing process. Therefore, this research is conducted to determine the effect of holding time and temperature in the hot press process on the tensile strength of biodegradable plastic made from carrageenan. The composition of the biodegradable plastic material used was 35% carrageenan, 35% polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and 30% glycerol. In the manufacture of composites, the holding time was varied: 10, 20, 30, and 40 minutes, as well as the process temperature varied from 100, 110, 120, and 130 °C. The tensile strength of the composite was observed through tensile testing using a Universal Testing Machine. FTIR, XRD, and SEM tests were also conducted to sharpen the analysis. The addition of holding time led to an increase in the tensile strength of biodegradable plastics. The highest tensile strength was obtained at a holding time of 30 minutes with a value of 4.45 MPa. After 30 minutes, the tensile strength of the biodegradable composite decreased. Meanwhile, the addition of process temperature caused a decrease in the tensile strength of biodegradable plastics. The highest tensile strength was obtained at a process temperature of 100 °C with a value of 5.28 MPa.
