"Poliester tak jenuh memiliki aplikasi luas namun mudah terbakar. Aditif halogen awalnya digunakan untuk meningkatkan fire retardancy komposit namun memiliki efek samping negatif terhadap kesehatan. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan sintesis fire retardant composite dengan variasi konsentrasi aditif Al(OH)3/Mg(OH)2 dan filler carbon black. Parameter fire retardancy yang diamati adalah time to ignition (ti), time taken to retard the fire (tr), burning time (tb), dan flammability rating menurut standar UL-94V. Komposisi aditif terbaik diperoleh pada konsentrasi Al(OH)3 40%/Mg(OH)2 10% dengan ti 22,5 detik, tr 6,2 detik, tb 7,8 detik, dan flammability rating V–0. Penambahan filler carbon black sebanyak 2,5% meningkatkan fire retardancy komposit dengan nilai ti 30 detik, tr 1,4 detik, tb 3,5 detik, dan flammability rating V–0. Penambahan aditif dan filler CB mampu meningkatkan stabilitas termal komposit dengan menurunkan mass loss rate (MLR) dan total mass loss. Komposit resin/aditif terbaik (Al(OH)3 40%/Mg(OH)2 10%) memiliki nilai tensile strength sebesar 18,2 MPa dan hardness 51. Sedangkan komposit resin/aditif/filler terbaik (Al(OH)3 40%/Mg(OH)2 10%/CB 2,5%) memiliki nilai tensile strength sebesar 13,9 MPa dan hardness 55.

Unsaturated polyester resin has wide application but is flammable. Halogen additive was originally used for improving the fire retardancy of the composite but has the negative effects on health. In this research, synthesis of fire retardant composite has been conducted by varying additive Al(OH)3/Mg(OH)2 and carbon black filler concentration. Fire retardancy parameters need to be observed are time to ignition (ti), time taken to retard the fire (tr), burning time (tb), and flammability rating as per UL-94V standard. Additive composition shows the best result at the concentration of Al(OH)3 40%/Mg(OH)2 10% with ti value of 22.5 s, tr 6.2 s, tb 7.8 s, and V-0 flammability rating. Adding carbon black filler of 2.5% improves the fire retardancy of composite with ti value of 30 s, tr 1.4 s, tb 3.5 s, and V-0 flammability rating. Adding of additive and CB filler can improve the thermal stability of composite by reducing mass loss rate (MLR) and total mass loss. The best resin/additive composite (Al(OH)3 40%/Mg(OH)2 10%) has tensile strength value of 18.2 MPa and hardness 51. Whereas, the best resin/additive/filler composite (Al(OH)3 40%/Mg(OH)2 10%/CB 2.5%) has tensile strength value of 13.9 MPa and hardness 55."

"Peningkatan kebutuhan dan produksi plastik konvensional menimbulkan masalah lingkungan. Biodegradable plastic berbahan dasar pati dapat digunakan sebagai alternatif pengganti plastik konvensional, karena ramah lingkungan, mudah didapat dan mudah terdegradasi. Namun, penggunaan pati sebagai bahan dasar bioplastik diperlukan modifikasi fisika atau kimia untuk meningkatkan sifat fisik dan mekaniknya. Pada penelitian ini, peningkatan sifat fisik dan mekanik bioplastik berbahan dasar pati dilakukan dengan grafting asam laktat dan menambahkan polivinil alkohol, crosslinker asam sitrat (0-25%) serta filler selulosa tongkol jagung 2-8% (b/b pati-g-PLA dan PVA). Film bioplastik juga ditambahkan senyawa aktif antioksidan dan antimikroba daun sirih untuk meningkatkan keunggulan bioplastik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan modifikasi film Pati-g-PLA/PVA-crosslinked asam sitrat dan penambahan filler selulosa dapat meningkatkan sifat fisik dan mekanik bioplastik, dengan konsentrasi optimum masing-masing variasi adalah 5% (b/b) dan 6% (b/b). Penambahan ekstrak metanol daun sirih juga terbukti dapat meningkatkan keunggulan bioplastik karena memiliki aktivitas antioksidan.

The increasing production of conventional plastics raises environmental problems. Starch-based biodegradable plastics can be used as an alternative to conventional plastics, because they are environmentally friendly, renewable and easily degraded. However, the use of starch as a bioplastic base material requires physical or chemical modifications to improve its physical and mechanical properties. In this study, the improvement of the physical and mechanical properties of starch-based bioplastics was carried out by grafting lactic acid and adding polyvinyl alcohol, citric acid crosslinker (0-25%) and corncob cellulose filler (2-8%, w/w starch-g-PLA and PVA). Bioplastic films are also added with active antioxidant and antimicrobial compounds of betel leaf to increase the advantages of bioplastics. The results showed that modification of the starch-g-PLA/PVA-crosslinked citric acid film and the addition of cellulose fillers could improve the physical and mechanical properties of the bioplastic, with the optimum concentrations of each variation being 5% (w/w) and 6% (w/w). ). The addition of betel leaf methanol extract has also been shown to increase the advantages of bioplastics because it has antioxidant activity."
