Abstract

Polypropylene with added Microfibrill Cellulosa as additive materials and filler has been investigated. Polypropylene and sorghum fibre has different interface properties, as the result that the compatibility between both are not good. Therefore, modification process for sorghum fibre is needed, the modification process for sorghum surface are alkalinization and bleaching treatment. Alkalinization process is doing with soaking the sorghum fibre in NaOH solution 2% during 2 hours. Bleaching Process used buffer and NaClO2 during 4 hours. Then, polypropylene and microfibrill cellulose mixed with hot melt mixing method. Characterization for this research is how effect from cellulose in sorghum on crystallization of PP. From DSC analysis showed PP with added microfibrill cellulose 1%wt can increase crystallization temperatures up to 126,510C and crstallization time until 8,26 minutes. And the crystallization process may be accelerated 10 seconds.

Abstract

3D printing technology is rapidly developing in the manufacturing industry in producing complex and easily adjustable three-dimensional objects using the help of controls from computers. Behind its advantages, the 3D printing process requires filaments from virgin polymers which generally have a high price and adversely affect the environment. Post-consumer polymer recycling is a substitute material solution from virgin polymers and is environmentally friendly so as to support the realization of a circular economy. Studies on 3D printing filaments from post-consumer polymers have been discussed in this article, especially for filaments derived from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polylactic acid (PLA), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). In addition, this article also reviews the sources of recycled raw materials, difficulties during the process, mechanical properties, thermal properties and efforts to improve the quality of 3D printing products. The results show that recycling post-consumer polymers for 3D printing filament applications is a promising approach to reducing the environmental impact of 3D printing while still retaining the mechanical properties and printability of filaments. This article provides insight into several studies that address the development of 3D printing using post-consumer polymer materials.

Abstract

Today, environmental problems, especially soil pollution due to inorganic waste or waste that does not decompose, are a major problem and need to be solved, especially in developing countries with high populations such as Indonesia. One of the causes of soil pollution problems is the use of inorganic fibers such as glass fiber and carbon fiber. The use of materials that are not environmentally friendly in the industry will cause environmental problems due to nature's inability to decompose the glass fiber material in nature. The focus of this research is to reduce environmental pollution by using natural fibers such as abaca fiber as an alternative to inorganic fibers. This is due to its properties, namely: low density, good specific strength, low price, and a high biodegradable ability so that it can reduce glass fiber or carbon fiber waste that does not decompose. To support this, abaca fiber needs to be hydrophobic so that it becomes compatible with other materials when combined together with other materials. One of the ways that can be done is by alkaline chemical treatment and acetylation using KOH and CH3COOH. Chemical treatment was carried out by dipping abaca banana fibers into a solution of alkaline compounds and acetylated compounds KOH and CH3COOH with a concentration of 5 M and 10 M for 4 hours. After chemical treatment, the abaca banana fibers were characterized for mechanical properties using ASTM D 3379 standards to determine the tensile strength of the fibers and using an optical microscope to determine the microstructure of the abaca fibers.
