Abstract

Effective mitigation strategies are necessary because high noise levels in maritime work situations frequently represent serious threats to hearing health. Acoustic panels and sound absorbers are examples of sound-dampening materials that are used to lower noise levels; nevertheless, it is unclear how these materials affect employees' awareness and attitudes. The purpose of this study is to investigate how the usage of sound-absorbing materials affects the attitudes and understanding of marine personnel about noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). The study also covers ship personnel' attitudes toward NIHLs, their understanding of NIHLs, and their hazards. The strategies for increasing ship employees' understanding of and attitudes toward NIHL, the impact of sound-dampening materials on their knowledge and attitudes toward NIHL, and the effectiveness of NIHL awareness and training programs are also covered. While the majority of marine workers are knowledgeable that noise can lead to hearing loss, the review's findings show that their understanding of the causes and long-term consequences of NIHL is insufficient. Diverse perspectives exist regarding prevention, and several employees find it awkward to wear hearing protection. Sound-absorbing materials facilitate better communication and teamwork among employees, which can raise satisfaction at work and safety awareness while lessening the disruption caused by excessive noise. Moreover, employing hearing protection devices (HPPs) can raise staff members' awareness of NIHL and motivate them to utilize HPPs more proactively. These results provide recommendations for more potent preventive measures as well as significant insights into occupational safety and health regulations in the maritime sector.

Abstract

Mycelium-based composite (MBC) has significant potential to utilize agricultural biomass waste. The use of fungi that are commonly used as MBC materials is still very limited to certain types. This study aims to test the MBC characteristics of the growth of mycelium Leiotrametes lactinea MYCL-3 on three different media substrates containing 72% Albasia (SA) sawdust, 72% ramie bark (BR), and 30% Albasia + 47% ramie mixture (SA-RB). The resulting MBC has dimensions of 20 x 5 x 5 cm and is yellowish-white in color. The structure of MBC shows that the density is higher (BR 0.28%). The absorption percentages for SA, RB, and SA-RB were 28.66, 21.37, and 27.22, respectively. The biodegradability of MBC showed that by day 10, the sample had degraded by about 14.14–17.46%. Mechanical testing for compression strength determined values for SA (117 kPa), RB (350 kPa), and SA-RB (140 kPa), with a final strength at 464 kPa, and the effect of the mixed media reduced the tensile strength of the composite to 277 kPa. The IR spectral results showed that the three composite samples did not show much different structures, but SA composites were known to have more types of constituent compounds not found in BR and SA-RB composites such as C=C (alkenes) bending, O-H (alcohol) associations, C-O-C (glycosidic) stretching, O-H (acid) bending, and C=C (benzene) stretching. Future investigations may focus on improving aggregate interlocking to increase strength and flexibility, tailoring MBC for specific applications.

Abstract

The Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch (OPEFB) is a byproduct of oil palm plantation and abundantly available in Indonesia. It is necessary to process the biomass waste into a more useful and higher value substances, such as semiconductor. This research aims to extract alpha-cellulose from OPEFB and process it into alkali cellulose - Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) composite for potential photodetector application. PVA acts as mechanical binding agent with 5%, 7.5%, and 10% concentration. Spectroscopy-based measurement is used to characterize the composite’s optical properties, while LCR meter is used to measure the electrical properties such as conductivity and capacitance. Using UV-Vis spectroscopy with wavelength range of 400-900 nm, it is observed that alkali cellulose with 5% PVA has the highest optical absorbance. Using Kubelka-Munk equation and Tauc plot, the energy gap of the composite was calculated, with the lowest energy gap is 2,769 eV at 5% PVA. Using LCR meter between frequency of 5 Hz to 5 MHz, one can measure conductivity (specific conductance) of a material, where highest obtained electrical conductivity is 2,65×1004 S/cm, which satisfy typical value of semiconductor characteristic. Measurement of Impedance also shows that composite with 7.5% PVA has the highest impedance at lower frequencies, then decreases to almost zero at frequency higher than 5000 Hz. These results demonstrate the potential of alkali cellulose-PVA composite as semiconductor sensors. These findings suggest the potential for developing low-cost, sustainable electronic devices.

Abstract

The pre garments waste consisting of offcuts, trimmings, rejected materials are generated from the garments industry is growing concern nowadays. The recent trend of sustainability practice finds a way to convert this garment waste into composite materials by giving second life. The composites material from garment waste has proven that it is while effective alternative of conventional wood-based materials through the series of mechanical property analysis. The reinforcing garments waste with the help of virgin polypropylene matrix symbolizes the composite material. The amount of fiber reinforcement material and matrix used affects the mechanical and physical characteristics of the composite samples made from textile waste, including tensile strength, elongation, density, and water absorption. The waste-based composite panel board displayed a maximum strength of 31.6 N/mm2, with 40% of its volume taken up by fiber reinforcement components and 60% volume by the matrix. The present study demonstrate that the mechanical and physical characteristics of waste-based composite panel boards are comparable to those of current oriented strand boards and commercial plywood. This waste base composite board can be used for false ceilings, hardboard, wall covering, and fashion purposes also. The results of this study can significantly reduce environmental pollution and offer a practical method for recycling garments waste.

Abstract

This study reports the moisture absorption and surface morphological characteristics of Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) and cassava starch biocomposite with lemon peel fiber as reinforcement. Biocomposite is produced by film casting method. The addition of lemon peel fiber decreases moisture absorption properties. The lowest moisture absorption is 53,37 % for PVA/Cassava starch with 4% lemon peel fiber. This result is much lower than PVA and PVA/starch. Good adhesion of interfacial bonding and the compact structure of the biocomposite thus reduce the moisture absorption. From these results, the created biocomposite can serve as an environmentally friendly alternative.

Abstract

Natural fiber composites have proven elusive to large scale use in industry due to their lower mechanical properties than glass or carbon fibers despite their low cost, natural availability, and sustainable sourcing. A method to overcome this obstacle is by placing the fibers in the optimum orientation to best resist the stresses the component is subjected to. This is achieved through a simple analysis of the part’s stress distribution and then using the Tailor Fiber Placement (TFP) process to orient the fibers to optimally resist these stresses. In this study holed Bamboo-Polyester Composite Plates (BPCP) were made using Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding (VARTM), compression molding and TFP processes. Different fiber orientations and crack resistance patterns were devised to compare the performance of the natural fibers to drilled Fiber Glass Chopped Strand Matts (FGCSM). The study showed that for a tensile test of a rectangular composite plate with a fiber content of 25% Volume, the holed BPCP exhibited a 65 MPa tensile strength and 1.75% strain, which is 172% and 145% of that of a comparable drilled FGCSM plate with the same fiber volume fraction respectively.

Abstract

Using petroleum-based plastics presents significant environmental challenges due to their difficulty in decomposition. This study explores the characteristics of bioplastic composites created from taro starch (Colocasia esculenta) and carrageenan, incorporating polycaprolactone (PCL) as a reinforcing agent. An experimental approach was employed, varying the ratio of taro starch to carrageenan (25:75 and 50:50) and the concentration of PCL (7.5%, 10%, 12.5%, and 15%). The evaluation included tests for tensile strength, elongation at break, elasticity, thickness swelling, and biodegradation. The results showed that the variation of the ratio of taro starch: carrageenan affected tensile strength, elasticity, and biodegradation but not elongation at break and swelling. In comparison, PCL reinforcement affected elongation at break and swelling but not tensile strength, elasticity, and biodegradation. Bioplastic composite with a ratio of taro starch: carrageenan of 25:75 and a concentration of PCL reinforcement of 12.5% ​​(0.75 g) with a tensile strength value of 10.37 ± 2.57 MPa; elongation at break of 2.11 ± 10%; elasticity of 520.07 ± 123.47 MPa; swelling of 70.18 ± 4.96% and the duration of biodegradation on the 5th day. FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of C-H, C-O, C=O, and O-H functional groups, indicating compatibility among the materials in forming the bioplastic composites. The results of this study suggest that bioplastics derived from taro starch and carrageenan, supplemented with PCL, could serve as a promising alternative for environmentally friendly packaging that biodegrades more effectively than traditional plastics.
