Abstract

Abstract: The Var gene family encodes for Plasmodium falciparum Erythrocyte Membrane Protein-1 (PfEMP1), a protein responsible for malaria pathogenesis. One of the variants, the var D gene, is hypothesized as a predictor of clinical malaria outcomes. The study aimed to investigate the association between the expression of the var D gene and clinical malaria outcomes. Blood spots on filter paper from uncomplicated and severe malaria patients were collected for DNA and RNA extraction. The RNA was reverse-transcribed into cDNA. DNA and cDNA were amplified by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique using specific var D primer, and PCR products were electrophorized in 1% agarose. DNA amplification resulted in double bands of approximately 230 bp and 250 bp in uncomplicated and severe malaria samples. However, the cDNA amplification generated a single band of 230 bp from four out of five severe malaria samples. The existence of band solely in severe malaria transcript suggested its involvement in the pathogenesis of severe malaria. In conclusion, the expression of var D gene-specific sequence can be a potential predictor of severe malaria outcomes.Abstrak: Famili gen var mengkode Plasmodium falciparum Erythrocyte Membrane Protein-1 (PfEMP1), suatu protein yang berperan penting dalam proses patogenesis malaria. Salah satu variannya, gen var D, diduga merupakan prediktor gambaran klinis malaria. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara ekspresi gen var D  dan gambaran klinis malaria. Sampel berupa tetesan darah pada kertas filter dari pasien malaria tanpa komplikasi dan malaria berat dikumpulkan untuk diekstraksi DNA dan RNAnya. RNA selanjutnya di trankripsi reverse menjadi cDNA. DNA dan cDNA diamplifikasi dengan teknik PCR menggunakan primer spesifik var D dan produk PCR dielektroforesis menggunakan agarosa 1 %. Amplifikasi DNA menghasilkan beragam pita berukuran sekitar 230 bp dan 250 bp pada sampel malaria tanpa komplikasi dan malaria berat, tetapi amplifikasi cDNA hanya menunjukkan satu pita berukuran 230 bp pada 4 dari 5 sampel malaria berat. Keberadaan pita hanya pada sampel malaria berat mengindikasikan peran gen ini dalam patogenesis malaria berat. Disimpulkan bahwa gen var D dapat ditemukan pada sampel malaria tanpa komplikasi dan berat, namun ekpresi gen tersebut dapat menjadi prediktor yang potensial  timbulnya manifestasi klinis malaria berat.

Abstract

Abstract: The Maredan Riau clay contains alumina silica components, which can serve as raw material for zeolite synthesis. This research has been conducted on the effects of aging time and crystallization temperature during the zeolite synthesis process, which is the result of converting Maredan clay raw materials. The synthesis of zeolite follows a series of steps, including activation of natural clay using 1M H2SO4 and calcination at 650oC, curing of the post-calcination clay in 5 M NaOH, crystallization at different temperatures (80, 90, and 100ºC) for 8 hours, setting the final pH to up to 8 and drained. The solid obtained in zeolite was characterized to determine the ratio of Si/Al, type of zeolite and crystallinity, functional groups, and zeolite surface morphology. The analysis results with XRF at a crystallization temperature of 100°C showed that the Si/Al zeolite ratio was 1.75 which corresponds to the Si/Al ratio of sodalite-type zeolite. Accordingly, analysis with XRD also supports the formation of sodalite with a crystallinity of 51% and a crystal size of 30.03 nm. The FTIR and SEM characterization respectively showed the presence of D4R or D6R double ring external vibration of the sodalite at wave number 558.42 cm-1 and its morphology was round with petals which is a typical morphology of sodalite. It was concluded that the increase in crystallization temperature caused the crystallinity of the resulting sodalite to increase as well.Abstrak: Lempung Maredan Riau mengandung komponen alumina silika, yang dapat berperan sebagai bahan baku untuk sintesis zeolit. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengamati efek waktu aging dan suhu kristalisasi selama proses sintesis zeolit, yang merupakan hasil konversi bahan baku lempung Maredan. Sintesis zeolit mengikuti serangkaian tahap, di antaranya aktivasi lempung alam menggunakan 1M H2SO4 dan kalsinasi pada suhu 650oC, pemeraman lempung pasca kalsinasi di dalam 5 M NaOH, kristalisasi pada suhu yang berbeda (80, 90 dan 100ºC) selama 8 jam, pengaturan pH akhir hingga mencapai 8 dan dikeringkan. Padatan yang diperoleh berupa zeolit dikarakterisasi untuk menetapkan rasio Si/Al, jenis zeolit dan kristalinitas, gugus fungsi dan morfologi permukaan zeolit. Hasil analisis dengan XRF pada suhu kristalisasi 100oC menunjukkan bahwa rasio Si/Al zeolit adalah 1,75 yang sesuai dengan rasio Si/Al zeolit jenis sodalit. Sejalan dengan itu, analisis dengan XRD juga mendukung terbentuknya sodalit dengan kristalinitas 51% dan ukuran kristal 30,03 nm. Karakterisasi FTIR dan SEM masing-masing menunjukkan adanya vibrasi eksternal cincin ganda D4R atau D6R dari sodalit pada bilangan gelombang 558,42 cm-1 dan morfologinya berbentuk bulat berkelopak yang merupakan morfologi khas dari sodalit. Disimpulkan bahwa peningkatan suhu kristalisasi menyebabkan kristalinitas sodalit yang dihasilkan meningkat.

Abstract

Abstract: The growth of the oleochemical industry generated a large amount of spent bleaching earth (SBE) solid waste that causes environmental problems. The SBE solid waste produced is reported at about 600,000 metric tons per year. Recovery of the oil from SBE can be an alternative solution to reduce the negative impact of SBE solid waste. In this study, the recovery of oil from SBE was carried out by the reflux extraction method followed by a study on its properties. The oil recovery process was conducted by using two different solvents (acetonitrile and n-hexane) at different particle sizes (40, 60, 100 mesh) of SBE, solvent-SBE ratios (2:1, 3:1, 4:1), and extraction time (1, 2, 3 hours). Experimental results showed that n-hexane extracted oil with yield ranged from 5 to 14.8%, while acetonitrile extracted oil with yield ranged from 0.68 to 8.4%. Product analysis shows that the oil extracted has a water content of 1.56% and 2.53% for acetonitrile and n-hexane, respectively. The viscosity analysis results show that the oil viscosities were 5.83 cSt (acetonitrile) and 5.09 cSt (n-hexane) which is in reasonable agreement with the Indonesian National Standard for vegetable oil (SNI 7709:2019). The result suggested that n-hexane provided better product yield than acetonitrile as a solvent for oil recovery from SBE. This study provides an alternative method and solution for the oleochemical industry in managing SBE waste.Abstrak : Pertumbuhan industri oleokimia menghasilkan limbah padat berupa tanah pemucat (spent bleaching earth/ SBE) yang  mengakibatkan permasalahan lingkungan. Limbah padat SBE yang dihasilakn dilaporkan sekitar 600.000 ton per tahun. Pemisahan minyak dari SBE dapat menjadi alternatif penyelesaian masalah untuk menurunkan dampak negatif dari limbah SBE. Dalam penelitian ini, recovery minyak dari SBE dilakukan dengan metode ekstraksi reflux dan dilanjutkan karakterisasi hasil minyak. Recovery minyak dilakukan dengan dua jenis pelarut (asetonitril and n-heksana) dengan ukuran partikel SBE bervariasi (40, 60, 100 mesh), perbandingan pelarut-SBE (2:1, 3:1, 4:1), dan waktu ekstraksi (1, 2, 3 jam). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa asetonitril mengekstrak minyak dengan yield 1,56-2,53%, sementara n-heksana berkisar 5-14,8%. Minyak hasil ekstraksi menunjukkan kadar air 1.56% (asetonitril) and 2.53% (n-heksana), serta nilai viskositas sebesar 5.83 cSt (asetonitril) and 5.09 cSt (n-heksana). Minyak hasil memenuhi SNI Minyak goreng sawit (SNI 7709:2019). Hasil menunjukkan n-heksana memiliki kemampuan lebih baik dibanding asetonitril dalam mengekstrak minyak dari SBE. Hasil penelitian memberikan penyelesaian alternatif dalam menagngani limbah SBE dari industri oleokimia.

Abstract

Abstract: Atherosclerosis is one of the leading causes of cardiovascular disease, which is ranked as the world's deadliest disease by WHO. The NF-kB protein is important in the development of atherosclerosis. Inhibiting the inflammatory response pathway via the NF-kB protein can inhibit the development of atherosclerosis. Clove (Syzygium aromaticum L.)  is one of the plants with anti-inflammatory and anti-atherosclerotic properties. The main constituents of clove are eugenol and beta-caryophyllene (BCP), which have been extensively researched for their anti-inflammatory properties. This study aims to simulate the potency of eugenol and BCP compounds by measuring their binding affinity and observing the interactions that occur when they are tethered to the active site of the NF-kB protein. The research was carried out in silico method, using molecular docking techniques. According to the analysis, eugenol and BCP had binding affinity values of -5.9 kcal/mol and -7.0 kcal/mol, respectively. The eugenol compound forms 12 interactions on the active site of NF-kB protein, consisting of the hydrogen bond, carbon-hydrogen bond, pi-sigma, alkyl, and Van Der Waals interactions. Meanwhile, 5 interactions form between BCP and NF-kB protein, including Van Der Waals, alkyl, and pi-sigma interactions. The bond affinity calculations of the eugenol-NF-kB protein are stronger than the BCP-NF-kB protein. In addition, the number of interactions formed by eugenol- NF-kB protein is greater than BCP-NF-kB protein. Based on the description, the eugenol compound has better potential to influence the function of the NF-kB protein than BCP, so the eugenol compound is recommended for in vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory tests.Abstrak: Aterosklerosis adalah salah satu penyebab utama penyakit kardiovaskular, yang menduduki peringkat penyakit paling mematikan di dunia menurut WHO. Protein NF-kB penting dalam perkembangan aterosklerosis. Menghambat jalur respon inflamasi melalui protein NF-kB dapat menghambat perkembangan aterosklerosis. Cengkih (Syzygium aromatikum L.) merupakan salah satu tanaman yang mempunyai sifat anti inflamasi dan anti aterosklerotik. Kandungan utama cengkeh adalah eugenol dan beta-caryophyllene (BCP), telah banyak diteliti sifat anti inflamasinya.  Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mensimulasikan potensi senyawa eugenol dan BCP dengan mengukur afinitas pengikatannya dan mengamati interaksi yang terjadi ketika ditambatkan pada sisi aktif protein NF-kB. Penelitian dilakukan secara in silico dengan menggunakan teknik molekuler docking. Berdasarkan analisis, eugenol dan BCP memiliki nilai afinitas pengikatan masing-masing sebesar -5,9 kkal/mol dan -7,0 kkal/mol. Senyawa eugenol membentuk 12 interaksi pada sisi aktif protein NF-kB, terdiri dari interaksi ikatan hidrogen, ikatan karbon-hidrogen, pi-sigma, alkil, dan Van Der Waals. Sementara itu, terjadi 5 interaksi antara protein BCP dan NF-kB, antara lain interaksi Van Der Waals, alkil, dan pi-sigma. Perhitungan afinitas ikatan protein eugenol-NF-kB lebih kuat dibandingkan protein BCP-NF-kB. Selain itu, jumlah interaksi yang terbentuk protein eugenol-NF-kB lebih besar dibandingkan protein BCP-NF-kB. Berdasarkan uraian tersebut, senyawa eugenol mempunyai potensi yang lebih baik dalam mempengaruhi fungsi protein NF-kB dibandingkan BCP, sehingga senyawa eugenol direkomendasikan untuk uji antiinflamasi dengan metode in vitro dan in vivo.

Abstract

Abstract: In the last decade, biomass pyrolysis has received more attention in the renewable energy sector. This technology converts biomass to obtain valuable products: bio-oil, biochar, and gas. Bio-oil is a liquid product from pyrolysis that can be used to fuel boilers and furnaces, or further processed to produce fuel oil and chemical products. In this study, bio-oil was generated from slow pyrolysis of oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) at various temperatures. The objective of this research is to investigate the effect of temperature on the properties of products generated from the pyrolysis of OPEFB. Six different pyrolysis temperatures ranging from 300 to 700℃ were used to produce bio-oil. It was found that operating temperature affected the product yield and its properties significantly. The higher the operating temperature of slow pyrolysis, the amount of bio-oil produced was also increased with a decrease in biochar yield. The highest yield of bio-oil was found to be 55.53% at a pyrolysis temperature of 700℃ with a yield of biochar and syngas was 24.22% and 20.25%, respectively. The GC-MS analysis was used as a quantitative means to characterize the liquid pyrolysis product. The findings of GC-MS showed that bio-oil generated in this study was dominated by phenols and ketones. In conclusion, pyrolysis of OPEFB demonstrates significant potential for industrial applications to generate valuable products especially bio-oil, providing a renewable alternative to fossil fuels.Abstrak: Dalam satu dekade terakhir, pirolisis biomassa semakin mendapat perhatian di sektor energi terbarukan. Teknologi ini mengubah biomassa menjadi produk-produk yang bernilai seperti: bio-oil, biochar, dan gas. Bio-oil adalah produk cair dari pirolisis yang dapat digunakan sebagai bahan bakar boiler dan furnace, atau diproses lebih lanjut untuk menghasilkan bahan bakar minyak dan produk kimia. Dalam penelitian ini, bio-oil dihasilkan dari proses pirolisis lambat tandan kosong kelapa sawit (TKKS) pada berbagai kondisi suhu. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh suhu terhadap karakteristik produk yang dihasilkan dari pirolisis TKKS. Berbagai variasi suhu pirolisis dari rentang 300 hingga 700℃ digunakan untuk menghasilkan bio-oil. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa suhu pirolisis mempengaruhi yield produk dan karakteristiknya secara signifikan. Semakin tinggi suhu operasi pirolisis, jumlah bio-oil yang dihasilkan juga semakin meningkat, namun diikuti dengan penurunan yield biochar. Yield tertinggi bio-oil yaitu sebesar 55,53% diperoleh pada suhu 700℃ diikuti dengan yield biochar dan syngas masing-masing sebesar 24,22% and 20,25%. Analisis GC-MS digunakan sebagai metode kuantitatif untuk mengkarakterisasi produk cair dari pirolisis. Hasil GC-MS menunjukkan bahwa komposisi bio-oil yang dihasilkan dalam penelitian ini didominasi oleh senyawa fenol dan keton. Penelitian ini menjanjikan potensi dari pirolisis TKKS untuk aplikasi industri guna menghasilkan produk bernilai tinggi berupa bio-oil sebagai penyedia sumber energi terbarukan pengganti bahan bakar fosil.

Abstract

Abstract: In designing solar panel devices, generally the tilt angle of the panel surface is designed with a static design and this greatly influences the results of the electricity source generated. The design of the tool is intended to be in coordinates that are perpendicular to the direction of the sunlight rays so that it receives maximum solar radiation. This research aims to determine the relationship between the tilt angle of the solar panels and the light intensity and electrical power generated and to determine the optimal tilt angle of the solar panels based on the values of light intensity and electrical power. The indicators measured consist of light intensity, voltage, current and electrical power by varying the tilt angle of the solar panel. The results of this research show that the tilt angle of the solar panel greatly influences the measured light intensity value so that the greater the light intensity obtained, the higher the output voltage of the solar panel. The most optimal tilt angle is at an angle of 105o and 120o with the greatest light intensity so that the resulting output power is correspondingly greater.Abstrak: Dalam merancang alat panel surya, pada umumnya posisi kemiringan dari permukaan panel dirancang dengan desain statis sangat mempengaruhi hasil dari sumber listrik yang dihasilkan. Rancangan alat  diupayakan  berada di koordinat yang  tegak lurus dengan arah pancaran cahaya matahari agar menerima radiasi matahari yang maksimal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan posisi kemiringan panel surya terhadap intensitas cahaya dan daya listrik yang dihasilkan serta mengetahui posisi kemiringan panel surya yang optimal berdasarkan nilai intensitas cahaya dan daya listriknya. Indikator yang diukur terdiri dari intensitas cahaya, tegangan, arus, dan daya listrik  dengan memvariasikan posisi kemiringan dari panel surya. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan posisi kemiringan sebuah panel surya sangat mempengaruhi  nilai intensitas cahaya yang diukur sehingga semakin besar intensitas cahaya yang didapat maka tegangan keluaran panel surya mengalami kenaikan. Posisi kemiringan yang paling optimal pada sudut 105o dan 120o dengan intensitas cahaya yang didapat terbesar sehingga daya keluaran yang dihasilkan sejalan yaitu semakin besar pula.

Abstract

Abstract: The development of industries such as textiles, dyes, plastics, medicines, cosmetics, and others is increasing along with a rise in production, leading to a high amount of liquid waste generated. Non-biodegradable, toxic, and carcinogenic liquid waste can cause environmental pollution to surrounding water. To address this challenge, biomass waste such as palm kernel shells can be used to treat liquid waste by compositing it with photocatalyst materials. Therefore, this research aimed to obtain ZnO/graphene-like composites to degrade liquid waste. ZnO/Graphene-like composites were synthesized using the solvothermal method, followed by calcination. The performance test was carried out by varying the types of methylene blue, methyl orange, and phenol waste with an initial concentration of 10 ppm, alongside the variations of ultraviolet (UV) and mercury lamps. Subsequently, characterization was carried out using SEM, XRD, FTIR, BET, UV-Vis DRS, and UV-Vis Spectrophotometer. The results showed that the percent degradation of methylene blue under UV and mercury were 83.42% and 84.93 % respectively, while methyl orange in the same conditions was 94.83% and 97.17%, respectively. Furthermore, the percent degradation of phenol in UV light and mercury were 86.03% and 89.62%, respectively. This showed that the use of mercury lamps on methyl orange was more effective than UV lamps on methylene blue and phenol.Abstrak: Perkembangan industri seperti industri tekstil, pewarna, plastik, obat-obatan, kosmetik, dan lain-lain semakin meningkat dengan seiring bertambahnya jumlah produksi sehingga jumlah limbah yang dihasilkan juga meningkat salah satunya limbah cair. Limbah cair yang tidak dapat terurai secara biologis, beracun, dan karsinogenik ke perairan terdekat mengakibatkan pencemaran lingkungan. Disisi lain, limbah biomassa seperti cangkang sawit dapat dimanfaatkan untuk mengolah limbah cair, salah satunya mengkompositkan dengan material fotokatalis. Penelitian ini bertujuan memperoleh komposit ZnO/graphene-like untuk mendegradasi limbah cair. Komposit ZnO/Graphene-like disintesis dengan metode solvothermal dan dikalsinasi. Uji kinerja komposit ZnO/graphene-like dilakukan dengan menvariasikan jenis limbah methylene blue, methyl orange dan fenol dengan konsentrasi awal masin-masing 10 ppm serta dengan variasi lampu UV dan lampu merkuri. Komposit ZnO/Graphene-like dikarakterisasi menggunakan SEM, XRD, FTIR, BET, UV-Vis DRS dan UV-Vis Spektrofotometer. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa persen degradasi methylene blue di bawah sinar UV dan merkuri masing-masing sebesar 83,42% dan 84,93%, sedangkan methyl orange dengan sinar UV dan merkuri masing-masing sebesar 94,83% dan 97,17%. Selanjutnya, persen degradasi fenol dengan sinar UV dan merkuri masing-masing adalah 86,03% dan 89,62%. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan lampu merkuri pada methyl orange lebih efektif dibandingkan lampu UV pada methylene blue dan fenol.

Abstract

Abstract: Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) hollow fiber membranes have excellent mechanical properties and chemical stability. However, their hydrophobicity can lead to fouling and hinder permeability. Modifying this hydrophobicity is challenging due to PVDF's complex polymorphous structures, with the β-phase offering superior fouling resistance. One approach to improve PVDF hollow fiber membranes is the addition of inorganic additive materials to reduce hydrophobicity. The objective of this study is to offer new insights into the preparation of PVDF hollow fiber membranes using wet spinning with various additives, such as TiO2 and SBE. The investigation focused on the functional groups of PVDF in both the α and β phases. The membrane was fabricated using regenerated SBE and TiO2, which were incorporated through dope solution preparation and phase inversion through a wet spinning technique. The study used the Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) technique to characterize the PVDF hollow fiber membranes. The study found that the PVDF hollow fiber membranes exhibit differences in α and β phase crystalline structures when combined with various additives. The addition of SBE to PVDF hollow fiber membranes results in a dominant β-phase crystalline structure, as indicated by the relative fraction of 0.70 and the largest peak area of 2.27. This has successfully improved the hydrophilic properties of the PVDF-SBE hollow fiber membrane.Abstrak: Membran hollow fiber polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) memiliki sifat mekanik dan stabilitas kimia yang sangat baik. Namun, sifat hidrofobiknya dapat menyebabkan fouling dan menurunkan permeabilitas membran. Oleh karena itu memodifikasi sifat hidrofobisitas ini cukup menantang karena struktur polimorf PVDF yang kompleks, terutama dengan keberadaan fase β yang memberikan ketahanan terhadap fouling. Salah satu pendekatan yang dapat dilakukan untuk meningkatkan membran hollow fiber PVDF adalah dengan penambahan bahan aditif anorganik untuk mengurangi hidrofobisitas. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menguak wawasan baru dalam pembuatan membran serat berongga PVDF menggunakan wet spinning dengan berbagai aditif, seperti TiO2 dan SBE. Investigasi difokuskan pada gugus fungsional PVDF berupa fase α dan β.  Membran dibuat dengan menggunakan TiO2 dan SBE regenerasi, yang dibuat melalui pembuatan larutan dope dan inversi fasa melalui metode wet spinning. Penelitian ini menggunakan teknik Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) untuk mengkarakterisasi membran serat berongga PVDF. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa membran serat berongga PVDF menunjukkan perbedaan struktur kristal fase α dan β ketika dikombinasikan dengan berbagai aditif. Penambahan SBE pada membran serat berongga PVDF menghasilkan struktur kristal fase β yang dominan, seperti yang ditunjukkan oleh fraksi relatif 0,70 dan area puncak terbesar 2,27. Hal ini telah berhasil meningkatkan sifat hidrofilik membran serat berongga PVDF-SBE.

Abstract

Abstract: The increasing demand for environmentally and economically sustainable technologies necessitates innovative approaches in material engineering. This study investigates the repurposing of waste materials by integrating oil palm fiber (OPFib) as reinforcement in porous asphalt mixtures. The primary objective is to examine the effects of adding varying amounts of OPFib (1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, and 5%) on the mechanical properties of asphalt, specifically aiming to improve the asphalt's softening point, viscosity, binder drain-down, and air void characteristics. The methodology involves a series of controlled laboratory tests under diverse conditions to measure these properties. The results indicate that adding OPFib enhances the performance of asphalt by raising the softening point and viscosity, decreasing binder drain-down, and achieving optimal air void levels at certain OPFib concentrations. However, higher OPFib content leads to diminished overall performance. These findings provide insights into the use of OPFib in asphalt mixtures, offering a sustainable solution that enhances road durability and performance, while effectively utilizing waste materials.Abstrak: Meningkatnya permintaan akan teknologi yang ramah lingkungan dan berkelanjutan secara ekonomi membutuhkan pendekatan inovatif dalam rekayasa material. Penelitian ini menyelidiki pemanfaatan kembali bahan limbah dengan mengintegrasikan serat kelapa sawit (OPFib) sebagai penguat pada campuran aspal porus. Tujuan utamanya adalah untuk menguji pengaruh penambahan OPFib dalam jumlah yang bervariasi (1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, dan 5%) terhadap sifat mekanik aspal, khususnya untuk meningkatkan titik lembek aspal, viskositas, aliran aspal dan karakteristik rongga udara. Metodologi yang digunakan adalah serangkaian pengujian laboratorium sebagai kontrol dalam berbagai kondisi untuk mengukur sifat-sifat tersebut. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa penambahan OPFib meningkatkan kinerja aspal dengan meningkatkan nilai titik lembek dan viskositas, mengurangi binder drain-down, dan mencapai tingkat rongga udara yang optimal pada konsentrasi OPFib tertentu. Namun, kandungan OPFib yang lebih tinggi menyebabkan penurunan kinerja secara keseluruhan. Temuan ini memberikan pemahaman tentang penggunaan OPFib dalam campuran aspal, menawarkan solusi berkelanjutan yang meningkatkan daya tahan dan kinerja jalan, sekaligus secara efektif memanfaatkan bahan limbah.
