Abstract

In a specific range of electrical conductivity, poly(lactic acid)/PLA has the potential to be developed into environmentally friendly antistatic packaging after a modification process. PLA was blended in a mini single screw extruder at 180oC with different compositions of micro-graphite (0, 0.5, 1, and 1.5 %wt.). This report discusses the degradability of PLA composite, i.e., photo-oxidative degradation and hydrolytic degradation. The weight loss, thermal properties, and cross-section morphology of the tested specimens were monitored periodically. During the degradation test, micro-graphite could be released from the composite, leaving a rough surface and reducing the weight of the composite. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) test exhibited that the presence of micro-graphite did not influence the melting temperature of the composition studied. However, the onset temperature of the melting point showed a slight shift of about 2-4oC. Bulk crystallinity demonstrated a considerable dependence on the micro-graphite loading (0-1.5%wt). However, there were two contradictory phenomena after both degradation tests. UV exposure could stimulate the fragmentation of PLA chains, break the crystal structure and increase the embrittlement. Thus, crystallinity tended to decrease during photo-oxidative degradation. In hydrolytic degradation, degradation firstly occurred in the amorphous regions and was ongoing within the studied range of time (0-20 weeks). Thus, the bulk crystallinity of composite tended to increase.

Abstract

ABSTRAK. Kewirausahaan merupakan salah satu tuntutan kompetensi lulusan siswa di SMK Negeri 1 Mojosongo. Kompetensi tersebut menjadi salah satu indikator kualitas sumber daya manusia lulusan SMK. Tim Manajemen sekolah selalu berusaha meningkatkan kualitas sumber daya siswa dan tenaga pengajarnya. Salah satu terobosan yang dilakukan adalah bekerjasama dengan Prodi D3 Teknik Kimia Universitas Sebelas Maret untuk meningkatkan wawasan siswanya. Konsep kerjasama ini berupa transfer keilmuan yang dikemas dalam kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat. Kegiatan ini memiliki beberapa tahapan dimulai dari identifikasi masalah mitra yaitu perlunya pemahaman konsep kewirausahaan, business plan, pemodalan dana hibah, konsep desain dan inovasi produk dan pemasaran usaha. Pada tahap awal kegiatan siswa diminta mengikuti pretest untuk mengetahui tingkat mula pemahaman.  Tahap kedua paparan materi kewirausahaan dan diskusi, tahap ketiga demo sekaligus praktik langsung pembuatan inovasi produk pangan dari buah nipah. Kegiatan diakhiri dengan post test dan testimoni hasil kegiatan. Dari kegiatan yang telah dilakukan, menunjukkan hasil bahwa terdapat peningkatan pemahaman peserta tentang kewirausahaan dan inovasi produk menggunakan teknologi sederhana. Kata kunci: Kewirausahaan, inovasi pangan, nipah, sirupABSTRACT. Entrepreneurship is one of the required competencies for students' graduation at SMK Negeri 1 Mojosongo. Thus, this competency is one of the indicators to determine the quality of graduates from SMK N 1 Mojosongo. The School management has been trying to improve the quality of students and teaching staff. Collaboration between SMK N 1 Mojosongo and Diploma 3 of the Chemical Engineering Study Program of Universitas Sebelas Maret is one of the breakthroughs to increase students' insight. The concept of this collaboration is in the form of knowledge transfer which is packaged in community service activities. This activity begins with identifying the problems experienced by partners such as the need to understand the concept of entrepreneurship, business plans, grant funding, design concepts, product innovation, and business marketing. Before the main agenda begins, students are asked to take a pretest to determine their initial level of understanding. After a presentation on entrepreneurship, the students practice making food product innovations from Nypa fruticans. Finally, the students took the post-test and gave testimonials on the results of the activities. The results of this activity indicate that there is an increase in participants' understanding of entrepreneurship and product innovation with simple technology.Keywords: Food innovation, nypa fruticans, entrepreneurship, syrup

Abstract

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is an alternative cellulose source that warrants more investigation due to its limited efficiency and high production costs. This research aims to investigate the generation of bacterial cellulose from tofu wastewater using Acetobacter xylinum without pretreatment. The experiment was run on two media: tofu wastewater with and without additional sugar. The fermentation was run in a dark cabinet using a static batch method in numerous fermenter trays, each with a working volume of 1000 mL. Each experiment used 900 mL of tofu wastewater medium plus an extra 100 mL inoculum (equal to 10% v/v), which was then cultured at room temperature and harvested on days 6, 12, 18, 24, and 30. The weight of nata de soya, BC, and residual sugar were all measured from the samples. The results of the experiments revealed that the best incubation time was 18 days. The fermentation employing tofu wastewater medium with added sugar yielded nata de soya of 227.3 g/L and BC of 32.2 g/L, while the medium without added sugar yielded 103.9 g/L and BC of 9.3 g/L. The medium with added sugar yielded higher BC productivity, 1.79 g/L.day, compared to 0.57 g/L.day in the medium without added sugar. On the other hand, the BC results per sugar consumption were 0.62 g BC/g sugar and 0.36 g BC/g sugar, respectively, for the medium with and without added sugar.

Abstract

The increasing use of household materials made of stainless steel also causes more metal waste to be produced. Stainless waste is considered dangerous because it contains several heavy metal compounds such as Ci, Pb, Ni, Fe, and others, so it is necessary to treat stainless waste. Stainless slag and stainless dust can be processed into products with high selling value such as pigments or dyes. In this research, Prussian Blue pigment was synthesized from Fe waste obtained from iron fiber waste. Apart from knowing the yield of the Prussian Blue synthesis, the effect of adding TiO2 on the intensity of the resulting color was observed. This study used a hydrometallurgical method using acid leaching to produce Prussian blue color pigments. The Prussian blue pigment conversion value produced in experiment 1 was 79.63%, experiment 2 was 80.36%, experiment 3 was 83.63%, and experiment 4 was 82.40%. The yield value of Prussian blue pigment in experiment 1 was 1.230 gram Prussian blue/gram iron, experiment 2 was 1.142 gram Prussian blue/gram iron, experiment 3 was 1.305 gram prussian blue/gram iron, and experiment 4 was 1.807 gram prussian blue/gram iron. Overall this method can process waste iron (stainless steel) into Prussian blue color pigment.
