Karakteristik Plastik Biodegradable Dari Pati Kulit Singkong Dan Selulosa Daun Nanas
ABSTRACT
Biodegradable plastics is plastic made from renewable resources and can be decomposed by the action of living organisms. Biodegradable plastic can be made from starch from cassava peels and cellulose from pineapple leaves. The purpose of this study was to obtain the best ratio of cassava peel starch and pineapple leaf cellulose to the characteristics of the resulting biodegradable plastic. This research was conducted experimentally using Completely Randomized Method (CRD) with five treatments and three replications to yield 15 experimental units. The treatments in this research were ratio of cassava peel starch and pineapple leaf cellulose 10:0, 9.5:0.5, 9:1, 8.5:1.5, and 8:2 in biodegradable plastic formulations. The parameters examined in this research included swelling, water vapor transmission, tensile strength, elongation, young's modulus and biodegradability. The acquired data were statistically examined using analysis of variance (ANOVA). If the F count was more than or equal to the F table, the analysis would proceed with Duncan's New Multiple Range Test (DNMRT) at a significance level of 5%. The results showed that cassava peel starch and pineapple leaf cellulose had a significant effect on swelling, water vapor transmission, tensile strength, elongation, young's modulus and biodegradability. The selection ratio is 8:2 with a swelling of 80,77%, water vapor transfer rate of 17,24 g/m2/h, tensile strength of 4.83 MPa, elongation of 52.9%, young's modulus of 9.14 MPa and biodegradation for 8 days.
