Pembuatan Plastik Biodegradable Pati Biji Nangka Dengan Penambahan Selulosa Tongkol Jagung
ABSTRACT
Biodegradable plastic is a type of eco-friendly plastic that can decompose
naturally because it was made from organic raw materials such as starch. Starch
sources can be obtained by utilizing agricultural waste such as jackfruit seeds.
Biodegradable plastics made from starch have low mechanical properties so there
is a need for the addition of reinforcers or fillers such as cellulose. The material
that can be used to obtain cellulose is corn cobs. The purpose of this research was
to obtain the best comparison of jackfruit seed starch and corn cob cellulose against
the characteristics of biodegradable plastics. This research was carried out
experimentally using a completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments
and four repetitions, namely the comparison of starch and cellulose P1 (1:0.5), P2
(1:0.6), P3 (1:0.7) and P4 (1:0.8). The data obtained were statistically analyzed
using of analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results showed that the addition of
corn cob cellulose had a significant effect (P < 0.05) on the value of water
absorption, water vapor transmission rate, tensile strength, elongation and
biodegradation of the biodegradable plastic produced. The biodegradable plastic
with the best treatment based on the test parameters is P1 (starch ratio 1:0.5
cellulose) with a water absorption value of 40.57%, water vapor transmission rate
of 12.16 g/m2/h, tensile strength of 18.50 MPa, elongation of 4.10% and
biodegradation of 74.20%.
