"Polipropilena (PP) merupakan polimer termoplastik yang banyak digunakan. PP memiliki densitas yang rendah, mudah diproses, dapat didaur ulang, dan relatif murah, tetapi kekuatan tariknya rendah. Penggabungan PP dengan serat kenaf dapat meningkatkan sifat mekanik PP. Namun, PP dan serat kenaf memiliki kompatibilitas yang rendah. Oleh karena itu, serat kenaf diberi perlakuan pemutihan dengan NaClO 1% selama 2 jam pada temperatur ruang. Serat dikarakterisasi dengan FTIR, FESEM, dan uji tarik. Pemutihan menurunkan kandungan hemiselulosa, lignin, dan zat pengotor pada permukaan serat serta meningkatkan kekuatan tarik serat. Proses pencampuran PP dan serat kenaf dilakukan dengan metode hot melt mixing. Pencampuran dilakukan dengan komposisi serat 5% hingga 25% fraksi massa, temperatur 170oC hingga 190oC, dan waktu 10 menit hingga 20 menit. Komposit dikarakterisasi dengan FESEM, uji tarik, dan STA. Penambahan serat 5% fraksi massa menghasilkan komposit dengan kekuatan tarik, kristalinitas, dan kestabilan termal yang paling tinggi. Temperatur pencampuran 190oC menghasilkan komposit dengan kekuatan tarik, kristalinitas, dan kestabilan termal yang paling tinggi. Waktu pencampuran 20 menit menghasilkan komposit dengan kekuatan tarik paling tinggi.

PP is a thermoplastic polymer which is widely used. PP has low density, easily processed, can be recycled, and relatively inexpensive, but has low tensile strength. Synthesis PP with kenaf fiber can improve the mechanical properties of PP. However, PP and kenaf fiber have low compatibility. Therefore, kenaf fiber treated by bleaching with NaClO 1% for 2 hours in room temperature. Fiber characterized by FTIR, FESEM, and tensile test. Bleaching reduces hemicellulose, lignin, and impurities on the fiber surface and increase the tensile strength of fiber. PP and kenaf fiber mixing is done by hot melt mixing method. Mixing is done with fiber composition of 5% to 25% mass fraction, temperature of 170oC to 190oC, and time of 10 minutes to 20 minutes. Composites characterized by FESEM, tensile test, and STA. The addition 5% mass fraction of fiber results a composite with the highest tensile strength, crystallinity, and thermal stability. Mixing temperature of 190oC results a composite with the highest tensile strength, crystallinity, and thermal stability. Mixing time of 20 minutes results a composite with the highest tensile strength."

"Polipropilena (PP) merupakan salah satu jenis polimer termoplastik yang dibuat oleh industri polimer hulu dan digunakan dalam berbagai aplikasi. Pada penggunaannya, PP banyak ditambahkan material lain (contoh: talcum) untuk meningkatkan kualitas dan memperbaiki sifat materialnya sesuai kebutuhan. Di Indonesia, PP merupakan salah satu material yang memiliki permintaan yang besar. Namun permintaan tersebut tidak diimbangi dengan produksi yang dilakukan oleh industri polimer hulu yang ada di dalam negeri. Pada tahun 2011, Indonesia menjadi negara pengimpor produk olefin terbanyak di ASEAN. Oleh karena itu, solusi alternatif diperlukan untuk mengatasi masalah ini, salah satunya dengan menggunakan material daur ulang (regrind). Studi ini dilakukan untuk mengkaji karakteristik paduan yang terbentuk dari material regrind polipropilenatalcum (jenis komposit polipropilena yang banyak digunakan dalam industri otomotif) sehingga dapat diketahui apakah material regrind memiliki karakteristik yang tidak kalah baik dibandingkan material fresh-nya. Studi ini didukung dengan sebuah fakta bahwa material regrind polipropilena-talcum 20% memiliki titik leleh yang tidak berbeda jauh dengan temperatur leleh polipropilena (sekitar 176 °C), yaitu pada temperatur 176.4 °C. Studi ini dilakukan dengan membentuk paduan dari material regrind polipropilena-talcum 20% dan 30% dan melalui proses dry mixing dan hot melt mixing. Karakteristik yang dikaji meliputi perubahan morfologi yang terjadi akibat proses regrinding dan pencampuran material, perilaku mekanik (kekuatan tarik dan modulus elastisitas), dan perilaku termal material tersebut.

Polypropylene (PP) is a thermoplastic polymer made by the polymer industry and used in various applications. In the application, PP is added to other material (eg, talcum) to improve the quality and enhance the properties of material. In Indonesia, the PP is one of the materials that have a great demand. But the request is not matched by production undertaken by the existing polymer industry in the country. In 2011, Indonesia became a net importer of most olefin products in ASEAN. Therefore, an alternative solution is needed to solve this problem, such as using recycled materials (regrind).

This study was conducted to examine the characteristics of the alloy is formed from polypropylene-talcum regrind material (polypropylene composites are widely used in the automotive industry) to know whether regrind material characteristics has significant differences compared to the fresh material. This study was supported by the fact that regrind material polypropylene-talcum 20% has a melting point which is not much different from the polypropylene melting temperature (around 176.0 °C), which is at 176.4 °C.

This study was conducted to form alloys of polypropylene regrind material-talcum 20% and 30% and through the process of dry mixing and hot melt mixing. Characteristics examined include morphological changes that occur due to the regrinding and mixing materials, mechanical behavior (tensile strength and modulus of elasticity), and the thermal behavior of the material."

"ABSTRAK Pada penelitian ini dibuat PMCs (Polymer Matrix Composites), menggunakan polipropilena (PP) sebagai matriks dan serat kenaf sebagai penguat. Polipropilena dan serat kenaf memiliki sifat permukaan yang berbeda, sehingga kompatibilitas antara keduanya buruk. Oleh karena itu, dilakukan modifikasi permukaan serat kenaf dengan metode alkalinisasi. Proses alkalinisasi dilakukan dengan merendam serat kenaf pada larutan NaOH 6% selama 8 jam. Selanjutnya pencampuran PP dan serat kenaf menggunakan metode hot melt mixing. Pengaruh komposisi serat, temperatur pencampuran, dan waktu pencampuran pada pembuatan komposit PP-kenaf dianalisa pada penelitian ini. Hasil pengujian menunjukan bahwa kekuatan tarik komposit PP-5%kenaf lebih baik dibanding kekuatan tarik PP. Namun, pada komposisi serat 15% fraksi massa mulai terjadi penurunan kekuatan tarik komposit. Hal ini disebabkan karena meningkatnya jumlah void dan fenomena fiber pull out seiring penambahan komposisi serat kenaf. Peningkatan komposisi serat juga menurunkan kristalinitas dan kestabilan termal pada komposit. Temperatur pencampuran divariasikan 170oC, 180oC, dan 190oC. Peningkatan temperatur pencampuran akan menghasilkan distribusi dan dispersi serat yang baik. Sehingga dengan temperatur pencampuran 190oC dihasilkan kekuatan tarik, kristalinitas, dan kestabilan termal optimal pada komposit. Waktu pencampuran divariasikan 10 menit, 15 menit dan 20 menit. Semakin lama proses pencampuran akan semakin optimal pula distribusi dan dispersi serat pada matriks, sehingga kekuatan tarik komposit makin meningkat.

ABSTRACT In this research PMCs (Polymer Matrix Composites) was made, using polypropylene as matrix and kenaf fiber as reinforcement. PP and kenaf fiber have different surface properties, so that the compatibility between the two gets worse. Therefore, modification of kenaf fiber surface is carried out with alkaline treatment. The process of alkaline treatment is done by soaking the kenaf fiber in 6% NaOH solution for 8 hours. Then do the mixing process between PP and kenaf fiber using hot melt mixing method. The influence of fiber composition, temperature mixing, and time mixing on manufacture of composites were analyzed on this research. The test results showed that the tensile strength of PP-5%kenaf composite better than the tensile strength of PP. However, the composite with 15% fiber mass fraction decreased tensile strength. This was caused by the growing number of voids and fiber pull out phenomena over the addition of kenaf fiber composition. The increase of fiber composition also lowers the crystallinity and thermal stability on the PP-kenaf composite. Mixing temperature varied 170oC, 180oC, and 190oC. The increase of temperature mixing will produce good distribution and dispersion of fiber. So that on 190°C mixing temperature resulting composite with optimal tensile strength , crystallinity , and thermal stability. The mixing time varied for 10 minutes, 15 minutes, and 20 minutes. The longer the mixing process will resulting good dispersion and distribution, so that the composite tensile strength was increased."

"Polypropylene (PP) adalah termoplastik yang sangat luas pemakaiannya. Kombinasi antara permintaan yang tinggi dan kemudahan daur ulang menyebabkan aplikasi PP daur ulang menjadi hal yang sangat biasa dan diterima secara umum. Dalam penelitian ini, penulis membandingkan struktur dan sifat mekanik PP murni, PP daur ulang dan PP daur ulang komersial yang dipakai sebagai gantungan pakaian. Pengujian termal dengan DSC menunjukkan bahwa daur ulang tidak menyebabkan perubahan titik leleh yang signifikan, yaitu tetap berada pada kisaran 160 oC - 163°C. Identifikasi bahan dengan FTIR menunjukkan bahwa PP daur ulang komersial mengandung campuran unsur Polyethylene (PE) yang tidak terdapat pada PP murni dan PP daur ulang. Hasil uji tarik dan uji kekerasan tidak menunjukkan perubahan yang signifikan antara PP murni dan PP daur ulang. Di sisi lain, uji tarik menunjukkan bahwa kuat tarik PP daur ulang komersial lebih rendah 22,1% daripada PP murni, modulus Young turun 8,1%, dan strain-at-break berkurang secara drastis sebesar 65,7%. Uji kekerasan dengan Shore Hardness menunjukkan bahwa kekerasan relatif tidak berubah karena daur ulang. Hal ini didukung dengan SEM yang memperlihatkan citra PP daur ulang komersial memiliki permukaan yang relatif lebih datar dengan ukuran butir lebih kecil daripada PP murni, yang menunjukkan bahwa bahan bersifat lebih brittle.

Polypropylene (PP) is a type of thermoplastic that is widely used in our daily activities. A combination of high demand and easinest recycling maker the recycled PP has been generally accepted. In this study, a study of the structure and mechanical characteristics of original PP, recycled PP, and commercial recycled PP is compared, especially the ones that is applied as cloth hanger. DSC thermal tests showed that the recycling process did not cause a significant change to the material?s melting point, which stays in the range of 160 oC - 163°C.

Meanwhile, FTIR tests showed that the commercially recycled PP contains of Polyethylene (PE), which element was not found in original PP and recycled PP. On the other side, tensile test showed that the tensile strength, Young modulus and strain-at-break are lower than those of original PP by 22,1 % ; 8,1 % and 65,7 % respectively. Tensile and hardness test demonstrated there is no significant differences between original PP and recycled PP. Furthermore, Shore Hardness tests show the recycling process has a little effect on the material?s hardness. These fact is also supported by morphological observation using SEM that the surface contour of the images of commercial recycled PP is relatively more flat and has smaller grain size than those of original PP, which indicates that the commercial recycled PP is relatively more brittle."
