"Plastik merupakan material yang mengalami perkembangan pesat 30 tahun terakhir ini. Namun sifatnya yang kurang kuat untuk aplikasi tertentu mengharuskan plastik dibuat menjadi komposit. Berbagai penguat sintetis tersedia seperti serat kaca namun harga serat kaca yang mahal dan sifatnya yang tidak ramah lingkungan membuat penggunaan material yang lebih murah dan ramah lingkungan sangat digencarkan. Komposit matriks polimer dengan penguat serat alam atau natural fiber reinforced polymer composites (NFRPC), sering hanya disebut natural fiber composites (NFC) menjadi solusinya. Dalam penelitian ini digunakan serat alam sorgum yang berasal dari dalam negeri dan bagian yang digunakan merupakan produk sampingan dari tanaman sorgum. Proses preparasi serat sorgum diperlukan untuk meningkatkan kompatibilitasnya dengan matriks polipropilen (PP). Alkalinisasi-termal menjadi metode yang dipakai dalam melakukan preparasi serat dan hasilnya setelah dilakukan proses ini serat memiliki mekanisme mechanical bonding (interlocking) dengan PP. Kemudian pengaruh temperatur pencampuran PP dan sorgum dengan variasi 160°C, 170°C, 180°C, serta komposisi serat dengan variasi 5%, 10%, dan 15% dipelajari perilaku mekanis dan morfologinya. Hasil yang didapatkan variasi yang optimum yaitu pada temperatur pencampuran 170°C dan komposisi serat 15% memiliki kekuatan tarik mencapai 20,2 MPa dan modulus elastis 547 MPa serta temperatur pencampuran 170°C dan komposisi serat 5% memiliki elongasi 36,4 MPa.

Plastic is a material that has experienced rapid development in the last 30 years. But its nature is less strong for certain applications, requiring plastic to be made into composites. Various synthetic reinforcements are available such as glass fiber but the expensive price of glass fiber and its environmentally unfriendly nature making the usage of cheaper and environmentally friendly materials highly intensified. Polymer matrix composites with natural fiber reinforced polymer composites (NFRPC), often just called natural fiber composites (NFC), are the solution.

In this study, natural sorghum fibers originating from within the country were used and the used parts were by-products of sorghum plants. The preparation process of sorghum fibers is needed to improve its compatibility with the polypropylene (PP) matrix. Thermal-alkalinization is the method used in conducting fiber preparation and the results after this process the fibers have mechanical bonding (interlocking) mechanism with PP. Then the effect of PP and sorghum mixing temperature with variations of 160°C, 170°C, 180°C, and fiber composition with variations of 5%, 10%, and 15% on mechanical and morphological behavior were studied. The optimum result is obtained at mixing temperature of 170°C and 15% fiber composition that have tensile strength reaching 20,2 MPa and elastic modulus of 547 MPa also at mixing temperature of 170°C and 5% fiber composition have elongation of 36,4%."

"The abundance of graphite waste can be processed into valuable materials; one alternative is by making it into an adsorbent. Graphite-based adsorbent modification can be accomplished by adding magnetite nanoparticles Fe3O4. The addition of magnetite nanoparticles has been reported to improve the adsorption ability of the graphite waste. In this study, we have developed a new carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorbent based on graphite waste modified with magnetite nanoparticle Fe3O4. The Fe3O4 were prepared using an impregnation technique. The graphite/Fe3O4 composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy with an energy-dispersive X-ray system (SEM-EDX) and Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET). The CO2 adsorption performance was evaluated using an isothermal adsorption method at various temperatures (30, 35, and 45oC) and pressures (3, 5, 8, 15, and 20 bar). This resulted in graphite with different magnetite modification levels, namely non-modified graphite (GNM), a graphite/Fe3O4 20% (w/w) composite (G/Fe3O4 20%), and a graphite/Fe3O4 35% (w/w) (G/Fe3O4 35%), which indicated that the largest adsorption capacity is 10.305 mmol.g-1 at 30oC and 20 bar pressure for the G/Fe3O4 20% composite. This finding further revealed that modifying graphite waste with magnetite nanoparticles Fe3O4 has been proved to increase the capacity for adsorbing CO2 gas."

Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch (OPEFB) Fiber is an abundant waste in Indonesia. This fiber is a natural fiber that can be used for reinforcement in polymer-based composites, but natural fiber is hydrophilic while polypropylene as a matrix are hydrophobic. Alkalinization is a type of chemical treatment that can improve fiber compatibility and mechanical properties resulting in the formation of composites. Testing methods conducted to determine the shape of the fibers in the composite structure are using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and then processed using ImageJ software. Alkalinization can increase fiber distribution in composites expressed in the form of distribution ratio up to 0,42 for 50 mesh and 0,40 for 100 mesh. In addition, the compatibility of the fiber also increases, indicated by the differences in surface tension decreased to 1,60 mN/m. The test results are formed in the prototype of application that can be used for an example of the benefits of knowing the influence quantitatively so that can be able to predict the resulting properties.

"This book provides a comprehensive theoretical and practical review of biomimetic materials with self-healing, self-lubricating and self-cleaning properties. These three topics are closely related and constitute rapidly developing areas of study. The field of self-healing materials requires a new conceptual understanding of this biomimetic technology, which is in contrast to traditional engineering processes such as wear and fatigue. A new theoretical framework for these processes is presented based on the concept of multi-scale structure of entropy and non-equilibrium thermodynamics, together with a detailed review of the available technology. The latter includes experimental, modeling, and simulation results obtained on self-healing/lubricating/cleaning materials since their emergence in the past decade."

"Komposit banyak digunakan dalam dunia teknik seperti penerbangan, otomotif, dan perkapalan. Penelitian pengaruh air laut terhadap kekuatan komposit sebagai material float pesawat amfibi telah dilakukan. Matriks yang digunakan adalah vinilester dan serat yang digunakan yaitu serat e-glass, karbon, dan hibrid kevlar-karbon. Komposit dibuat dengan teknologi vacuum infusion dengan komposisi e-glass/vinilester, hibrid e glass/karbon/vinilester, dan hibrid kevlar-karbon/karbon/vinilester. Komposit hibrid digunakan karena masih terbatasnya penelitian pengaruh air laut terhadap komposit tersebut. Komposit direndam dalam bak berisi air laut dengan lama perendaman sampai 6 bulan untuk mengetahui nilai penyerapan air laut. Pengujian tarik, tekan, dan geser dilakukan untuk mengetahui sifat mekanik komposit sebelum dan setelah perendaman. Uji SEM dan FTIR dilakukan untuk mengetahui struktur mikro komposit setelah pengujian dan mengamati ikatan molekul senyawa polimer sebelum dan setelah perendaman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan penambahan berat maksimum komposit e-glass/vinilester, karbon/vinilester, e-glass/karbon/vinilester, dan karbon-kevlar/karbon/vinilester adalah 0,69%; 0,84%; 0,79%, dan 2,02%. Kekuatan tarik dan tekan tertinggi adalah komposit kevlar-karbon/karbon dengan nilai 513,84 MPa dan 267,98 MPa, sedangkan kekuatan geser tertinggi adalah komposit glass/karbon sebesar 109,03 MPa meskipun bedanya tidak terlalu jauh dengan komposit kevlar-karbon/karbon sebesar 104,32 MPa. Degradasi sifat mekanik terjadi pada semua komposit. Degradasi tertinggi pada semua komposit terjadi pada kekuatan tekan dengan persentase degradasi kekuatan tekan tertinggi pada komposit glass/vinilester. Degradasi sifat mekanik terjadi karena difusi air laut menyebabkan plastisisasi, degradasi matriks dan serat, debonding serat/matriks, dan crack. Indikasi ini terbukti dari analisa mikrostruktural terhadap permukaan patahan hasil uji tarik menggunakan SEM.

Composites are widely used in the engineering world like aerospace, automotive, and marine. Research on the effect of sea water on the strength of composites as amphibious aircraft float material has been carried out. The matrix used is vinylester and the fiber used are e-glass, carbon and kevlar-carbon hybrid fiber. Composites are made with vacuum infusion technology with the types of composites are e-glass/vinylester, e-glass/carbon/vinylester, and kevlar-carbon/carbon/vinylester. Hybrid composites are used because research is still limited to the effect of sea water on these composites. Composites are immersed in a conatiner which contain natural seawater till 6 month to know the weight gain of water absorption in these. Tensile, compressive, and shear test are conducted to know teh mechanical properties of the composites before anda after immersion time. SEM and FTIR test are conducted to know composite microstructural after mechanical test and observe molecul bond of polimer before and after immersion.

The results showed that the maximum weight gain of e-glass/vinylester, carbon/vinylester, e-glass/carbon/vinylester, and carbon-kevlar/carbon/vinylester composites were 0.69%; 0.84%; 0.79% and 2.02%, respectively. The highest tensile and compressive strength are kevlar-carbon/carbon composite: 513,84 MPa dan 267,98 MPa respectively, while the highest shear strength is glass/carbon composite: 109,03 MPa, although the difference is not too far from kevlar-carbon/carbon composite: 104,32 MPa. Degradation of mechanical properties occurred in all composites. The highest degradation in all composites occurred at compressive strength with the highest percentage of compressive strength degradation in glass/vinylester composites. Degradation of mechanical properties occurs due to diffusion of sea water causing plasticization, matrix and fiber degradation, fiber/matrix debonding, and cracking. Microstructural analysis using SEM micrograph supports this indication."
