Abstract

Density plays an important role as basic information for applying wood as construction materials. Recent years, the application of near-infrared spectroscopy as non-destructive testing (NDT) has been promising. Density prediction for standing trees in huge variation trees and species of natural forest needs to be investigated using NDT as of eco-green harvesting. The combination of density information and near-infrared spectroscopy is enabled to build a prediction model. This research applied increment cores sampling for density prediction analysis using near-infrared spectroscopy method. The research combined increment cores samples from multiple wood species to be analyzed in one chemometrics analysis of cross-validation partial least squares regression (CV-PLSR) to build a prediction model of density.  The research resulted coefficient of determination for cross-validation (R2CV) of 0.76 with number of latent variable (LV) 10 from the 1st derivative with 13 smoothing-point spectra and wavelength of 1200 – 1800 nm as the best prediction model. The result seemed sufficient enough with those number of LV for this small tube wood sampling of increment cores from multiple wood species. This research proved that building a prediction model for multiple wood species is possible to be done.

Abstract

The effect of starch addition in chitosan adhesive on the physical and mechanical properties of petung bamboo particleboard from bamboo-sawing waste was investigated in this work. The utilization of bamboo-sawing waste particles as a raw material for particle board manufacturing has been gaining attention due to its waste reduction potential and economic advantages. The results of this study indicated that starch has been proven to enhance the physical and mechanical properties of petung bamboo particleboard. Adding only 4% wt. of chitosan/starch adhesive with a chitosan/starch ratio of 7/3 (w/w) has resulted in an improvement in the physical properties of the particleboard, such as moisture content, thickness swelling, and water absorption. It has also enhanced the mechanical properties of the particle board, including modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR), and internal bonding (IB), in comparison to chitosan adhesive without starch addition. Overall, these findings provide insights for further developing chitosan/starch adhesive, especially to produce natural-based adhesives with good bonding quality.

Abstract

All wood based products should have been dried to ensure their stable dimension.  Indicators of stable dimension can be figured-out from wood physical properties, especially ratio of tangensial shrinkage to radial shrinkage (T/R ratio) and wood drying properties at high temperature. From those two indicators could be predicted the drying quality of wood as a basic to determine minimum – maximum of drying temperature. This research aimed to look-into the relationship between wood properties of wood and drying quality of mindi (Melia azedarach L)wood at their 5, 9, and 13 year-old trees. The preparing of test samples, and testing methods on wood physical properties covered moisture content, air-dry density, and shrinkage in tangential and radial direction, which referred to the BS 1957. Meanwhile, drying properties followed the modified Terazawa’s  method. Five classes of wood drying qualities could be derived from the analysis of T/R ratio and drying property at each tree age group. Results revealed that wood density ranged about 0.46 – 0.58 g/cm3. Drying quality of each wood (except the portion near the pith) belong to B (good) for 13 years old, C (fair) for 9 years, and D (poor) for 5 years old. Related to the drying quality, the minimum – maximum temperature  for 13 years  mindi wood was 55–85 oC; for 9 years was 50–80 oC;  and for 5 years was 40–65 oC. Supported by the performance of  wood surface, especially at 13 years old, mindi wood was suitable for wooden furniture.

Abstract

AbstractThe quality of oleoresin determines the sale value of exports and imports. The quality of pine resin is determined by its color, moisture content, and impurities. The research method used a T-tes Independent to compare organic stimulants and sulfuric acid stimulants in tapping pine resin and referred to SNI 7837: 2016 to determine the quality of oleoresin. The results showed that trees treated with organic stimulants produced bright white oleoresin compared to trees treated with sulfuric acid stimulants which produced cloudy white oleoresin. However, both of them produce low levels of impurities and moisture content <5% so it is included in the super-premium quality class.

Abstract

Plastic mulch is a layer of material applied to the soil surface to maintain moisture retention in the soil by preventing evaporation, reduce weed growth by blocking sunlight from reaching underlying weeds, and optimize fertilizer use by minimizing nutrient loss to the environment. However, the degradation of low-density polyethylene (LDPE), a thermoplastic commonly used for mulching, into microplastics due to exposure to UV radiation. This research explored the potential of coconut coir, a natural fiber with a high lignin content ranging from 30 to 46%, as a UV protective agent. The objective was to develop biodegradable plastic-based mulch composites that have better resistance to UV exposure by incorporating coir as a filler material in LDPE-based composites. Different ratios of coconut fiber were used (10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%), and Maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (PE-g-MAH) was used as a binder at 2% of total weight mixed with LDPE in a rheomixer (80 rpm, 120°C for 10 min). The resulting plastic mulch bio-composites were evaluated for thermal, mechanical, UV resistance, and biodegradability properties. The results showed that the higher addition of coconut coir resulted in a decrease in the thermal and mechanical characteristics of the composite. However, the addition of higher coconut coir in the composite at 40% can provide an increase in the composite's resistance to ultraviolet light exposure, and the properties are easily degraded by the environment (biodegradable).
