This study was carried out to evaluate the potential of plastic synthesized using bio-based starch. The method began with extraction of starch from chosen tubers with high content of starch; potato and yam. The samples were first grated, grinded and strained to obtain crude starch, which then centrifuged and rinsed to get pure starch. The starch was then reacted with hydrochloric acid to breakdown amylopectin to prevent the starch from becoming plastic-like. Finally, propan-1,2,3-triol was added as a plasticizer to increase the elasticity of the product. The chemical, mechanical, and thermal properties of the products were analyzed using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), tensile strength tester and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The FTIR spectra of the product displayed the presence of O-H, C-H, C=O and C-O absorption peaks, which indicate the formation of bioplastic has already occured. The tensile strength obtained for potato and yam starch-based bioplastic are 0.6 MPa and 1.9 MPa, respectively. The result gained from TGA showed that 50% weight loss occurred at 250°C for potato and 310°C for yam-based plastic. The highly biodegradability of the plastic was proven using soil burial test, which observed the percentage of soil biodegradation for potato and yam-based bioplastic in 1 week duration is 43% and 26%, respectively. These bio-based plastics have exhibited good thermal and mechanical properties with high biodegradability that makes them a suitable alternative for the existing conventional plastics.

Aromatic polyamides are high performance materials, having outstanding thermal and mechanical properties. Poly(2,5-Diamino-terephthalic acid) (PATA) was designed as a novel aromatic polyamide with high strength and modulus. In this paper, 2,5-Diamino-terephthalic acid (DATA), as a monomer of PATA, was synthesized from 2,5-Dimetyl-1,4-phenyldiamine (DPA). First step was the amidation of DPA by reacting with acetic anhydride to protect amido group. Then N-(4–Acetylamino-2,5-dimethyl–phenyl)-acetamide (AMPA) was oxidized by potassium permanganate. Finally, AMPA was hydrolyzed by sodium hydroxide and the monomer DATA was precipitated by hydrochloric acid around PH 5. DATA and all the intermediate products were characterized and confirmed by 1HNMR and FT-IR spectra. They were all in great agreement with the proposed structure. The overall yield of DATA was about 40.0%.
