Abstract

The use of renewable natural fibers as reinforcements in biodegradable matrices has been boosted by the development of sustainable polymer materials. The purpose of this work is to examine the properties of bio-composites made of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) reinforced with micro-cellulose fibers that are isolated from the underused plant resource Paederia foetida (MSPf). After retting and alkaline and bleaching treatments, micro-cellulose was obtained and added to PVA at a weight percentage of 5% utilizing the solution casting technique. The biocomposites' mechanical, thermal, water absorption, and morphological characteristics were assessed. When MSPf was added, PVA's tensile strength rose from 20.69 MPa to 23.10 MPa, and its elastic modulus increased dramatically, suggesting better stiffness and efficient stress transfer. The improvement is ascribed to the hydroxyl groups of PVA and cellulose having strong hydrogen bonds and good interfacial adhesion. Due to limited polymer chain mobility, elongation at break decreased, but the composite showed better structural integrity. After 36 h, water absorption attained an equilibrium value of 1.461%, indicating the creation of a compact fiber-matrix network. When compared to clean PVA, thermogravimetric analysis showed better thermal stability, and SEM verified strong interfacial compatibility and homogeneous dispersion. These results show that micro-cellulose derived from Paederia foetida is a viable sustainable reinforcement that can improve the performance of bio-composites based on PVA.

Abstract

AbstrakKelompok tani sinar harapan memiliki permasalahan perawatan padi berupa biaya dan waktu semprot padi yang terus meningkat. Melalui program Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat (PKM) ini dihasilkan dan diberikan alat semprot kepada kelompok tani sinar harapan di desa Setanggor sebagai upaya untuk meningkatkan dan mempermudah dalam penyemprotan padi oleh para petani. Oleh karena itu, hal ini menjadi isu yang perlu diselesaikan dalam peningkatan hasil pertanian. Mesin alat semprot ini didesain dan dibuat untuk mengatasi permasalahan seperti mempermudah dan mempercepat semprot padi. Selain pembuatan dan serah terima alat semprot, pelatihan pengoperasian, dan perawatan mesin dilakukan secara Bersama-sama dengn masyarakat dan tim pengabdian dalam program ini. Hasil pengabdian menunjukkan bahwa waktu semprot dan proses semprot pada padi lebih cepat, sehingga mengurangi biaya untuk upah yang dikeluarkan petani. Terlebih lagi, para petani di kelompok tani sinar harapan sudah melewati usaha produktif. Sehingga program ini sangat membantu para petani. Diharapkan program keberlanjutan pada alat yang berbeda lainnya untuk mendukung kemandirian para petani. Kata kunci: alat semprot; kelompok tani sinar harapan; pengabdian kepada masyarakat. Abstract The Sinar Harapan Farmers’ Group faces challenges in rice cultivation, specifically the rising costs and time required for rice spraying. Through this Community Service Program (PKM), a sprayer was developed and provided to the Sinar Harapan Farmers’ Group in Setanggor Village as an effort to improve and streamline rice spraying for farmers. Therefore, this issue must be addressed to increase agricultural yields. This sprayer was designed and built to address issues such as simplifying and speeding up rice spraying. In addition to the construction and handover of the sprayer, training on operation and machine maintenance was conducted jointly with the community and the service team as part of this program. The results of the community service initiative show that the spraying time and process for rice are faster, thereby reducing labor costs for farmers. Furthermore, farmers in the Sinar Harapan farming group have already achieved productive outcomes. Thus, this program is highly beneficial to farmers. It is hoped that sustainable programs involving other types of equipment will be implemented to support farmers’ self-reliance. Keywords: community service; sinar harapan farmers' group; sprayer.
