The aim of this work is to study the influence of pro oxidant agents on the natural ageing of polypropylene (PP). For that purpose, two formulations containing, respectively, 5 wt % of Ca stearate and Ca/Zn complex as pro oxidant agents were prepared and exposed during 18 months to exterior natural conditions of Mediterranean climate. For comparison, a control formulation based only on PP was prepared. Samples were taken off every three months and characterized. The evolution of mechanical properties was followed by tensile test and Shore D hardness while the chemical modifications were analysed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results showed that all the considered formulations were affected but those containing the pro oxidant agents were the most affected. Moreover, Ca stearate is more effective than Ca/Zn complex as pro oxidant agent.

Co Precipitation

ZnO and ZnAl2O4 nanoparticles (NPs) were successfully prepared by the co-precipitation method and characterized by x-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The prepared NPs were incorporated into epoxy (EP) coating with mass ratios 200  800 mg/kg of ZnO NPs/EP and ZnAl2O4 NPs /EP. The prepared coatings were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and their mechanical properties were investigated, at room temperature, after 5, 10, 15, and 20 days of preparation. Tensile tests showed an improvement in the tensile properties, with the best improvement in ultimate tensile strength (93.2%) for 800 mg/kg ZnAl2O4 NPs/EP coating after 15 days of preparation. The ZnO NPs/EP and ZnAl2O4 NPs/EP coatings exhibited noticeable sensitivity to the stretching rate. Vickers microhardness (Hv) investigations showed normal indentation size effect behavior for all the samples. The best improvement in Hv was attained after 5 days of preparation, for all coatings, with the best improvement (9.15%) for 700 mg/kg ZnO NPs/EP.

Dynamic Mechanical

The incorporation of sisal fiber as reinforcement materials for polymers will be advantageous if it is synthesized and manufactured perfectly. In this study, surface modification using polymeric diphenylmethane di-isocyanate and gamma-aminopropyltriethoxysilane was applied for further amelioration of polypropylene–sisal bonding. Surface morphology, thermomechanical properties, thermal stability, and chemical bonding were investigated using scanning electron microscopy, dynamic mechanical analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, respectively. A number of mathematical models were studied for predicting the effect of untreated and modified sisal fiber loadings on the mechanical properties of biocomposites. Polymeric diphenylmethane di-isocyanate showed a significant improvement on the thermal and mechanical properties of polypropylene biocomposites. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis of polypropylene–sisal biocomposite showed the formation of urethane group at 3333 cm−1 in the presence of polymeric diphenylmethane di-isocyanate. Glass transition temperature of polypropylene–sisal was slightly increased to 6.8°C by chemical modification with polymeric diphenylmethane di-isocyanate. Yield strength of polypropylene–sisal (30 wt%) was enhanced by more than 50% with polymeric diphenylmethane di-isocyanate chemical treatment. Halpin–Tsai and Nielsen theoretical mathematical models showed a good agreement with experimental results of polypropylene–untreated sisal and polypropylene–treated sisal, respectively.

Penelitian mengenai penggunaan asam sitrat sebagai agen pengikat alami masih relatif sedikit. Oleh karena itu penelitian ini difokuskan pada pengaruh jumlah asam sitrat dan suhu pengempaan terhadap sifat papan partikel bambu, termasuk ketahanannya terhadap serangan rayap kayu kering. Bahan penelitian adalah partikel bambu petung. Komposisi kimia bahan baku bambu diuji untuk kadar ekstraktif, holoselulosa, lignin, dan alfa selulosa. Faktor pada penelitian ini adalah jumlah asam sitrat (0 - 40%) berdasarkan berat kering udara partikel) dan suhu pengempaan (200 oC dan 220 oC). Sifat fisika dan mekanika papan partikel diuji berdasarkan standar pengujian JIS A 5908. Analisis menggunakan Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) juga dilakukan untuk mengetahui perubahan gugus ester pada berbagai jumlah asam sitrat dan suhu pengempaan. Pengujian ketahanan terhadap serangan rayap kayu kering juga dilakukan dengan menghitung nilai pengurangan berat dan mortalitas rayap setelah 6 minggu. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa interaksi kedua faktor berpengaruh nyata terhadap nilai pengembangan tebal, penyerapan air, modulus elastisitas dan modulus patah. Intensitas gugus C=O yang ditunjukkan pada puncak 1720 cm-1 semakin bertambah besar seiiring dengan semakin banyaknya jumlah asam sitrat, yang menyebabkan kekuatan perekatan dan stabilitas dimensi papan partikel menjadi semakin kuat. Kondisi optimum pada penelitian ini adalah papan partikel dengan penambahan jumlah asam sitrat 20 % pada suhu pengempaan 200 oC dengan kualitas yang dapat memenuhi standar JIS A 5908 tipe 8. Penambahan asam sitrat dapat meningkatkan mortalitas rayap kayu kering secara nyata. Penambahan 20 % asam sitrat pada suhu pengempaan 200 oC menghasilkan nilai pengurangan berat 0,9 % dan mortalitas rayap 57 %.Kata kunci: bambu petung, asam sitrat, suhu pengempaan, jumlah asam sitrat. Mechanical properties and durability against the dry termite attacks of particleboard made from bamboo with citric acid as adhesive AbstractResearch on development of citric acid as natural adhesive are still limited. Therefore this research focused on effects of citric acid content and pressing temperature on properties of particleboard made from bamboo, including its durability to the dry termite attacks. Petung bamboo particles were used as raw materials. Chemical characteristics of petung bamboo were analyzed for its extractive, lignin, holocellulose and alpha cellulose. Factors used in this research were citric acid content (0 - 40 %) based on dry weight particles and pressing temperature (200 oC dan 220 oC). Properties of the particleboard were analyzed based on Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) A 5908 for particleboard. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis was used for investigating the changes of ester groups at various citric acid content and pressing temperature. The dry termite resistance was then analyzed for its weight loss and mortality after 6 weeks. The results showed that interaction between two factors affected significantly on thickness swelling, water absorption, modulus of elasticity, and modulus of rupture. Intensity of C=O groups became stronger as increasing citric acid content, providing high mechanical properties and high dimensional stability. Optimum condition in this research was achieved at 20 % of citric acid content and 200 oC of pressing temperature, which the board properties met the requirement of JIS A 5908 type 8. Increasing of citric acid content would also increase the dry termite mortality. Addition of 20 % citric acid at 200 oC of pressing temperature produced particleboard with the weight loss was 0.9 % and 57 % of the dry termite mortality.
