Polylactic acid merupakan material biopolimer yang memiliki keunggulan karena kekuatannya yang tinggi namun memiliki kekurangan yakni laju kristalisasinya yang rendah sehingga membutuhkan waktu yang lama dalam proses. Penambahan plasticizer diketahui memiliki pengaruh dalam meningkatkan derajat kristalinitas polimer dan sifat termalnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari pengaruh penambahan diethylene glycol dibenzoate terhadap sifat termal dan derajat kristalinitas polylactic acid. Plasticizer triacetine digunakan sebagai pembanding. Proses pencampuran polylactic acid dilakukan dengan pelarut organik Dichlorometane dengan menggunakan magnetic stirrer selama 2 jam, kemudian ditambahkan plasticizer dengan persentase 0wt%, 5wt%, 10wt% dan 20wt% dengan proses mixing selama 5 menit. Seluruh sampel dilakukan proses hotpress dengan suhu 180°C dan beban 8 ton selama 5 menit. Interaksi antara molekul polylactic acid dengan plasticizer diamati dengan uji FTIR, sifat termal dan kristalinitas polylactic acid diamati dengan uji DSC dan kristalinitas dikonfirmasi dengan XRD. Perlakuan annealing diberikan untuk melihat laju kristalisasi polylactic acid setelah penambahan plasticizer. Hasilnya, dengan penambahan diethylene glycol dibenzoate 5-20wt% memberikan perubahan sifat termal polylactic acid dengan nilai Tg dari 46,5°C menjadi 39,4-21,1°C, Tcc dari 112,8°C menjadi 107,5-84,6°C, Tm dari 170,6°C menjadi 167-160°C, dan derajat kristalinitasnya dari 5,05% menjadi 7,47-17,20%. Penambahan triacetine 5-20wt% memberikan perubahan sifat termal dengan nilai Tg dari 46,5°C menjadi 42,1-32,4°C, Tcc dari 112,8°C menjadi 100,7-88,4°C, Tm dari 170,6°C menjadi 168,3-163,1°C dan derajat kristalinitasnya 5,05% menjadi 8,38-15,05%.

Therefore a solution is needed to change from conventional plastics to a more biodegradable form of the similar material, one of which is plastic made from a mixture of starch with polyethylene. This thesis discusses the degradation that occurs in starch-based biodegradable plastics as tested using three different methods: the ASTM G21-09 method, microorganism testing, and field testing. Test results using five types of test mold that are based on the ASTM G21-09 and indicate that the mold growth may cover 85% of the surface of the specimen after two weeks. Afterwards, natural microorganism testing produced a final weight for the specimen after eight weeks of testing. The results were 71% with lake microorganisms, 68% with river microorganisms and 56% using microorganisms from soil. These tests did not produce a change in the shape or form of the specimen. While field testing produced the final weight of the specimen after 8 weeks at 0% after submersion in river and lake water, specimen buried in soil was at 58%. The specimen changed form during this experiment.

uperabsorbent polymers (SAP) dapat dihimbau mendapatkan minat yang meningkat dari berbagai industry yang berbeda dalam beberapa tahun terakhir. Namun, mayoritas dari SAP diproduksi menggunakan petroleum sebagai bahan baku yang merupakan sebuah ancaman bagi lingkungan dikarenakan masa degradasi yang panjang. Polimer yang diproduksi dari selulosa merupakan sebuah alternatif yang menjanjikan dikarenakan properti biodegradasi. Efek dari crosslinking untuk biodegradasi SAP diuji terhadap beberapa properti yang berbeda. Literatur yang telah tercetak menunjukkan bahwa dengan crosslinking yang lebih kuat, maka daya tahan biodegradasi akan menjadi lebih tinggi. Namun, eksperimen pendahuluan yang telah dilakukan menunjukkan hasil yang berbeda. Selulase dari Trichoderma reesei di-analisa menggunakan beberapa teknik yang berbeda. Hasil analisis menunjukkan sebuah kecenderungan dimana biodegradasi terjadi lebih cepat di sampel yang telah di-crosslink. Alasan untuk hal tersebut, namun, tidak dapat ditentukan dikarenakan diluar cakupan riset. ......Superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) have seen an increase in interest from various different industries within the past few years. However, a majority of SAPs are produced using petroleum-based polymer which poses as a major environmental threat due to its long degradation period. SAPs produced from cellulose is a promising alternative due to its sustainable characteristics as well as its ease of biodegradation. The effect of crosslinking on the biodegradation of SAPs was tested. Current literature has shown that crosslinking increases stability and resistance to biodegradation. Nanocellulose foams, synthesized through a TEMPO-mediated oxidation process, were crosslinked using Hexamethylenediamine (HMDA) and tested through different analysis methods. UV-Vis spectrophotometry was used to analyse enzymatic activity, gas chromatography was used to test microbial activity, and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to analyse biodegradation testing. Cellulose from Trichoderma reesei was used as the enzyme for an enzymatic biodegradation process. The experimental results showed a trend which sees a higher rate of biodegradation in chemically crosslinked samples. This result may prove to be significant as it contradicts established literature. Experimental results, however, was unable to prove a possible reason relating to enzymatic activity due to unreproducible results. Other possible reasons were explored which includes HMDA crosslinking affecting the crystallinity and hydrophobicity of nanocellulose foam. These reasons have yet to be tested as it is outside the scope of research, however further research might prove beneficial as it may bring significant insight regarding crosslinking.

PLA adalah salah satu biodgradable polymer yang umum digunakan untuk perangkat medis terutama implan dengan ukuran kecil. Sifat biodegradable yang dimiliki PLA mem-buat implan PLA akan terdegradasi dengan sendirinya ketika ditanamkan kedalam jaringan tubuh manusia seperti tulang sehingga tidak diperlukan untuk melakukan operasi pencabutan implan setelah ditanamkan. Saat ini, banyak merk-merk polimet yang mengeluarkan produk PLA mereka sendiri dengan propertiesdan karakteristik yang berbeda-beda. Karakteristik tersebut akan memperngaruhi hasil akhir dari produk yang akan dibuat melalui proses produksi. Salah satu proses produksi yang dapat di aplikasikan pada PLA adalah melalui proses injection molding. Injection molding adalah proses pencetakan polimer yang dapat di aplikasikan pada industri skala besar. Proses injection molding dapat juga di aplikasikan ke produk dengan ukuran kecil, menengah maupun besar tergantung mesin yang digunakan. Sejatinya, pada setiap proses produksi yang menggunakan mold dan polimer cair akan ter-dapat efek samping yaitu shrinkage dan warpage yang merupakan dimensional flaw. Shrink-age dan warpage dapat ditentukan menggunakan beberapa metode salah satunya adalah menggunakan software Autodesk Moldflow untuk memperkirakan shrinkage dan warpage tersebut. ......PLA is a biodgradable polymer that is commonly used for medical devices, especially small implants. The biodegradable nature of PLA makes PLA implants degrade automatically when implanted into human body tissues such as bone, so there is no need to perform implant removal surgery after implantation. Currently, many polymer brands are releasing their own PLA products with different properties and characteristics. These characteristics will affect the final result of the product that will be made through the production process. One of the production processes that can be applied to PLA is through the injection molding process. Injection molding is a polymer molding process that can be applied to large-scale industries. The injection molding process can also be applied to products with small, medium or large sizes depending on the machine used. In fact, every production process that uses molds and liquid polymers will have side effects, namely shrinkage and warpage which are dimensional flaws. Shrinkage and warpage can be determined using several methods, one of which is using Autodesk Moldflow software to estimate the shrinkage and warpage.

ABSTRACT
Kebutuhan akan alternatif bahan kemasan yang ramah lingkungan semakin meningkat. Salah satu solusi dari masalah tersebut adalah dengan mengembangkan plastik biodegradabel. Plastik biodegradabel dapat dibentuk dari campuran biopolimer dengan polimer sintetis dan dapat digunakan untuk berbagai aplikasi. Penelitian ini mengkaji sifat fisik mekanik bioplastik berbahan dasar Chlorella-polyvinyl alcohol PVA dengan pra-perlakuan penghomogen ultrasonik atau ultrasonikasi pada Chlorella. Variasi konsentrasi Chlorella dan suhu dilakukan pada tahap ultrasonikasi bubuk Chlorella. Sebelum dijadikan bahan dasar bioplastik, larutan Chlorella tersonikasi dengan konsentrasi berbeda disamakan konsentrasinya. Film bioplastik kemudian dibuat dengan campuran Chlorella tersonikasi dan PVA menggunakan metode solvent casting. Hasil karakterisasi sifat fisik mekanik bioplastik yang terbentuk kemudian dibandingkan dengan bioplastik kontrol berbahan dasar Chlorella tanpa sonikasi. Hasil studi mekanis menunjukkan terjadi peningkatan nilai kuat tarik bioplastik hingga 15,3 kgf/cm2 dan peningkatan nilai elongasi hingga 99,63. Hasil analisis Field emission scanning electron microscopy menunjukkan peningkatan homogenitas campuran bioplastik dan membentuk permukaan yang lebih halus dan tidak berongga. Fourier transform infrared menunjukkan bahwa terjadi ikatan antara Chlorella dan PVA. Analisis termal menunjukkan bahwa bioplastik berbahan dasar Chlorella memiliki sifat termal yang menyerupai bioplastik berbahan dasar PVA murni. Sifat fisik mekanik bioplastik tersebut membuat bioplastik berbahan dasar Chlorella berpotensi menjadi bahan alternatif kemasan yang ramah lingkungan.

ABSTRACT
Public demand for environmentally friendly packaging material is increasing. One of the solutions invented for this problem is the development of biodegradable plastic. Biopolymer can be mixed with synthetic polymer to produce biodegradable films with properties suitable for varying applications. This study examines the mechanical physical properties of Chlorella polyvinyl alcohol PVA based bioplastic by pre treating the Chlorella powder with ultrasonic homogenizer. Variation of Chlorella concentration and temperature was done during the ultrasonication. Before being used as bioplastic base, pre treated Chlorella with different concentrations were equated. Bioplastic films were then prepared with the pre treated Chlorella powder and PVA using solvent casting method. Mechanical physical properties of the pre treated Chlorella films then compared with non pre treated Chlorella film as control. Mechanical test shows the increasing of bioplastic tensile strength up to 15,3 kgf cm2 and elongation percentage up to 99,63. Field emission scanning electron microscopy test shows the increasing of bioplastic homogenity and smoother surface with less pores. Fourier transform infrared analysis shows that there are crosslinkages between Chlorella and PVA. Thermal analysis by thermogravimetric analysis shows that Chlorella based bioplastic has similar thermal properties as PVA based bioplastic. These mechanical physical properties shows that Chlorella is a potential biomass alternative for bioplastic.

Perkembangan bahan pengganti plastik konvensional yang mudah urai (biodegradable) dan berbahan dasar bahan alami (bioplastik) sangatlah pesat dewasa ini. Salah satu kegunaan bioplastik yang belakangan ini sedang dikembangkan adalah sebagai bahan bioimplan dalam bidang biomedis. Bioimplan pada umumnya berbahan dasar poli(asam laktat) (poly(lactic acid), PLA). Akan tetapi, mengingat harga PLA yang cukup tinggi, saat ini sedang dikembangkan bahan bioimplan berbahan dasar zat pati termoplastik (thermoplastic starch, TPS) - yang juga merupakan bahan bioplastik yang paling umum digunakan, mencakup 42.1% dari total produksi bioplastik mudah urai dan 18.2% dari keseluruhan produksi bioplastik dunia (European Bioplastics, 2018). Pada penelitian ini, zat pati yang digunakan berasal dari kentang dan diplastisasi menggunakan gliserin (gliserol 99.5%) dengan jumlah yang bervariasi (40% dan 60% dari massa kering zat pati) untuk menghasilkan pati termoplastik (TPS). Akan tetapi, karena pati termoplastik pada umumnya memiliki sifat mekanis yang relatif lemah, maka zat pengisi sekaligus penguat (reinforcement filler) ditambahkan ke dalam campuran TPS. Dalam penelitian ini, digunakan selulosa mikrokristal (microcrystalline cellulose, MCC) dengan jumlah yang bervariasi (0%, 2%, 4%, dan 8% dari massa kering zat pati) sebagai zat pengisi sekaligus penguat, sehingga menghasilkan komposit pati-MCC. Variabel terikat (output) dari penelitian ini yang akan dianalisis adalah sifat mekanis, yaitu kekuatan (tensile strength) dan perpanjangan saat patah (strain at break). Penelitian ini dimaksudkan untuk mempelajari pengaruh jumlah zat plastisasi (gliserin) dan zat penguat dan pengisi (MCC) pada sifat mekanis komposit pati-MCC dan mencari jumlah optimum gliserol dan MCC. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa jumlah gliserin dan MCC yang optimum adalah 40% gliserin dan 8% MCC, menghasilkan komposit pati-MCC dengan nilai tensile strength sebesar 2.97 +/- 1.611 MPa dan nilai perpanjangan saat patah sebesar 7.20% +/- 1.47%. Nilai tensile strength dan perpanjangan saat patah tersebut memenuhi syarat sifat mekanis untuk implan pengganti tulang trabekular, yang pada umumnya memiliki nilai tensile strength sebesar 2 MPa dan perpanjangan saat patah sebesar 2.5% (Røhl et al., 1991). ...... Biodegradable and bio-based substitutes for conventional plastics (bioplastics) are on the rise in these past decades. One of the uses of bioplastic is for biomedical implants (bioimplants). Generally, bioimplants are made from poly(lactic acid) (PLA). However, PLA is relatively expensive. Among the potential materials with relatively low cost to substitute PLA is starch-based bioplastic, which is the topic of this paper. Starch, specifically thermoplastic starch (TPS) is one of the most utilized materials used as bioplastics. The production of starch-based bioplastic accounts for 42.1% of biodegradable bioplastic production and 18.2% of overall bioplastic production worldwide (European Bioplastics, 2018). In this paper, the starch is derived from potato and plasticized using glycerin (glycerol 99.5%) at varying amounts (40% and 60% of starch dry mass) to produce thermoplastic starch. However, thermoplastic starch has relatively poor mechanical properties. To overcome this problem, a reinforcement filler is needed. Previous researches have used microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) as the reinforcement filler and reported significant increase in mechanical properties. However, none of the previous studies on thermoplastic starch-MCC composite are intended for bioimplant purposes. Therefore, this paper is the first research specifically aimed to study starch-MCC composite for their mechanical properties and intended for bioimplant. Other than the glycerin content, the MCC content also varies (0%, 2%, 4%, and 8%). The output (dependent variables) analyzed are the mechanical properties, namely the tensile strength and the value of strain at break. This paper is intended to study the effect of glycerol and MCC contents to the mechanical properties of the starch-MCC composite and find the optimum glycerol and MCC contents. The optimum glycerol and MCC contents from the results are 40% glycerol and 8% MCC with 2.97 +/- 1.611 MPa of tensile strength and 7.20% +/- 1.47% of strain at break. This optimum sample therefore has a potential as a bioimplant material for trabecular bone replacement, which has an average tensile strength of 2 MPa and average strain at break of 2.5% (Røhl et al., 1991).
