Abstract

Styrofoam is a petroleum-based and synthetic polymer that is only used once. To reduce waste and environmental damage as well as health problems, this study aims to make Biofoam from cassava peel and angsana leaves using a combination of extrusion and baking methods. In this study, glycerin and polyvinyl alcohol were also added with volume variations, 10: 30 (sample 1), 20 : 20 (sample 2), and 30: 10 (sample 3) mL to improve the physical properties of Biofoam. The physical characteristics observed were color, water content using the gravimetric method, and water absorption capacity of ABNT NBR NM ISO 535. Sample 1 and sample 2 were lighter in color than sample 3. The lowest water content value was found in sample 2, while sample 2 was has the ability to absorb less water is sample 3.

Abstract

Corrosion is a decrease in the quality of a metal material caused by a reaction with the environment. Reducing the corrosion rate on steel can be done by adding an inhibitor. Papaya leaf extract (Carica papaya.L) can be used as a corrosion inhibitor by immersion method. The effect of inhibitor on corrosion rate had been studied using weight loss method, potentiodynamic polarization method, and observation of steel surface using photooptic. It was found that corrosion rate decrease with increase concentration of papaya leaves extract. The highest inhibiton efficiency is 87.8% in 0.2 M hydrochloric acid with 2% concentration of papaya leaves extract. Potentiodynamic polarization method showed that papaya leaves extract decrease corrotion current. Inhibiton efficiency reached 81.58% in 2% extract concentration in which corrosion current decrease from 0.0266 mA/cm2 to 0.0049 mA/cm2. Analysis of photooptic showed that there is difference on steel surface corroded in hydrochloric acid with inhibitor and without it.
