"Saat ini penggunaan material berbasis polimer semakin meningkat seiring dengan pertumbuhan populasi manusia. Kebutuhan akan material berbasis polimer tersebut didasari oleh harga yang relatif murah dan fungsinya serba guna. Polimer berbasis pada minyak bumi merupakan jenis polimer yang sulit untuk diuraikan oleh mikroorganisme sehingga dibutuhkan material polimer alternative yang berasal dari alam untuk mengatasi isu lingkungan tersebut. Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) merupakan salah satu polimer alam yang cukup banyak digunakan. Namun PLA memiliki sifat mekanik dan ketahanan termal yang kurang baik, sehingga dibutuhkan pengisi dari bahan alam seperti serat ijuk untuk meningkatkan sifat mekanik. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan percobaan untuk mengetahui kompatibilitas pengisi dan matriks, konsentrasi optimal pemutihan serat, waktu optimal pemutihan serat dan komposisi optimal antara pengisi dan matriks. Pengamatan dilakukan terhadap morfologi permukaan serat ijuk dan fraktografi material komposit menggunakan FE-SEM, mengetahui perubahan kristalinitas serat ijuk menggunakan X-RD, mengetahui gugus fungsi dari serat ijuk untuk melihat kandungan lignin dan hemiselulosa menggunakan FTIR serta kekuatan tarik material komposit menggunakan micro-tensile. Hasil dari penelitian ini yaitu pemutihan dapat meningkatkan kompatibilitas pengisi dan matriks, konsentrasi optimal pemutihan adalah 7,5% NaClO selama 2 jam dan waktu optimal pemutihan adalah 1 jam dengan 10% NaClO. Dengan penambahan komposisi ijuk 10%, 20%, 30% ke dalam matriks PLA maka kekuatan tarik material komposit semakin meningkat.

Nowadays, The necessity of polymer-based material is getting higher because of its versatile utilization and relatively low cost. Petroleum polymer is difficult to be processed by micro-organism so that the alternative natural polymer is required to tackel this issue. Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) is one of the polymer used in many industries but PLA has the poorness on its mechanical properties and thermal resistance. Therefore, the addition of reinforcement such as ijuk fiber can be used to optimize its properties.

In this research, the compability of reinforcement and matrix, the optimum concentration of bleaching, the time of bleaching and the composition of reinforcement and matrix are studied. Visual observation on the morfology and fractography of ijuk fiber surface was performed using FE-SEM, the crystallinity of ijuk fiber was conducted using XRD, the functional group of ijuk fiber was carried out using FTIR to examine lignin and hemi-cellulose content and the tensile test of this composite material was performed using micro-tensile test.

From the data, it was acquired that bleaching enhance the compability between filler and matrix, the optimum concentration of bleaching is 7,5% NaClO for 2 hours and the optimum time of bleaching is 1 hour with 10% NaClO. In the mechanical properties aspect, it is obtained that as the higher ijuk addition, from 10% to 30%, into the PLA matrix, the tensile strength of the composite is improve."

"Saat ini, plastik menjadi perhatian terkait dengan degradasi dan isu-isu lingkungan. Hal ini menyebabkan penelitian untuk mengembangkan bahan ramah lingkungan. Untuk meminimalkan dampak dari masalah tersebut, baru-baru ini penggunaan serat alam sebagai pengisi diperkenalkan karena biodegradabilitas dan ketersediaan. Serat alami yang menjanjikan adalah serat ijuk dari Arenga pinnata tanaman sebagai pengisi dan polypropylene polimer (PP) sebagai matriks. Sayangnya, serat alam dan polimer memiliki sifat yang berbeda, polimer memiliki sifat polar sedangkan serat alam bersifat non-polar sehingga mengurangi kompatibilitas dan dihasilkan kristalinitas yang sangat rendah. Untuk meningkatkan kompatibilitas dan kristalinitas, serat ijuk diberikan perlakuan dengan beberapa tahapan termasuk alkalinization dengan 5% dan 10% natrium hidroksida (NaOH), oksidasi dengan 3% dan 6% sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) dan hidrolisis dengan asam sulfat 20% (H2SO4) di urutan. Tujuan dari perlakuan bertahap adalah untuk menghapus komponen seperti lignin, lilin, hemiselulosa, memfragmentasi lignin yang tersisa secara oksidatif dan menghilangkan bagian amorf masing-masing. Fourier-Transform Infrared (FT-IR) mengidentifikasi tingkat kompatibilitas sementara itu Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) menunjukan kristalinitas dan Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) menampilkan permukaan morfologi polypropylene. Percobaan mengungkapkan bahwa efek dari serat ijuk dengan perlakuan bertahap dari 5% NaOH dan 10% NaOH menghasilkan kristalinitas polypropylene sekitar 31,2% dan 27,64% masing-masing dibandingkan dengan kristalinitas sebelum menambahkan "ijuk" serat untuk 16,8%. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa seluruh perlakuan meningkatkan kompatibilitas dan kristalinitas polypropylene. Selain itu, penggunaan 5% NaOH menawarkan kristalinitas lebih baik dari polypropylene non-diobati. Percobaan menyimpulkan bahwa dengan menambahkan alkalinized serat ijuk perlakuan bertahap dapat meningkatkan kompatibilitas dan kristalinitas dari polypropylene.

Nowadays, plastics becomes concern associated with its degradation and environmental issues. It has led studies to develop an environmental-friendly material. To minimize the impact of those problems, recently the usage of natural fibers as a filler are introduced because of biodegradability and availability. The promising natural fiber is ijuk fiber from Arenga pinnata plant as a filler and polypropylene (PP) polymer as a matrix. Unfortunately, the natural fibers and polymers have the different properties on which polymers are polar while natural fibers are non-polar so that reducing the compatibility and resulting the poor crystallinity. To enhance the compatibility and crystallinity, ijuk fibers were prepared by multistage treatments including alkalinization with 5% and 10% sodium hydroxide (NaOH), oxidation with 3% and 6% sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) and hydrolysis with 20% sulphuric acid (H2SO4) in sequences.

The purposes of multistage treatments are to remove the components such as lignin, wax, hemicellulose, to cause an oxidative fragmentation of remaining lignin and to annihilate the amorphous parts respectively. Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) confirms the compatibility meanwhile Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) reveals the crystallinity and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) displays surface morphology of polypropylene.

The experiments were revealing that the effects of ijuk fibers by the multistage treatments of 5% NaOH and 10% NaOH resulting the crystallinity of polypropylene around 31,2% and 27,64% respectively compared to the crystallinity before adding the ijuk fibers for 16,8%. It indicates that the entire treatments increasing the compatibility and crystallinity of polypropylene. In addition, the use of 5% NaOH offers the better crystallinity than non-treated polypropylene. The experiments conclude that by adding alkalinized ijuk fibers of multistage treatments can increase the compatibility and crystallinity of polypropylene."

Untuk mencari alternatif dari hal tersebut, dikembangkanlah plastik komposit yang terbuat dari Polylactic Acid (PLA) dengan penambahan serat ijuk diharapkan mempunyai sifat mekanis yang cukup tinggi dan ramah lingkungan. Kompatibilitas dari kedua bahan tersebut menjadi perhatian utama untuk menciptakan material komposit dengan sifat mekanis yang baik. Penelitian ini menggunakan matriks PLA dengan serat ijuk yang dicampur dengan metode pelarutan menggunakan Dichloromethane dan kemudian dicetak menjadi sampel uji tarik dengan metode cetak panas. Variabel yang digunakan adalah fraksi volum penguat 0%; 10%; 20%; 30%; 40% dan 50%, serta modifikasi permukaan serat dengan perlakuan alkali (NaOH) 0,25 M selama 30 menit untuk meningkatkan kompatibilitas serat terhadap matriks. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan penurunan sifat kekuatan tarik dan Modulus Young terhadap fraksi volum penguat dari 0% hingga 50%, yang tidak menunjukkan efek penguatan serat terhadap matriks untuk sampel tanpa modifikasi perrmukaan, sementara nilai elongasi menunjukkan tren peningkatan. Hal ini diakibatkan kompatibilitas yang buruk antara matriks dan serat. Setelah dilakukan modifikasi permukaan serat, terjadi peningkatan dari sifat mekanis komposit tersebut. Hasil pengujian FTIR menunjukkan terjadinya pengurangan lignin dan hemiselulosa yang dapat meningkatkan kompatibilitas matriks dan serat.

The development for an alternative solution are developed, that is composite material from Polylactic Acid (PLA) which combined with Ijuk (Arenga pinnata) with the main focus in their compatibility to meet the demand for high specific strength and environmetalfriendly material. This research use PLA as a matrices dan Ijuk as a reinforcement, which is solution mixed using Dicholoromethane and then pressed by hot pressing method to formed tensile test specimens. The variations are volume fraction and fiber surface modification. Volume fraction used are 0%; 10%; 20%; 30%; 40% and 50%, while alkali treatment with NaOH 0,25M for 30 minutes is used for surface modification. Tensile test results show the decreament in tensile strength and Young’s Modulus versus fiber addition from 0-50%, while the elongation shows the conversely results, is showing no strengthening effect of fiber to the matrices for untreated composites. This is due to poor compatibility between matrices and fibers. After surface modification, tensile test results show the improvement in the mechanical properties due to elimination of lignin and hemicellulose which increases its compatibility, supported by the FTIR test results."
