Sintesis dan Karakterisasi Plastik Ramah Lingkungan dari Nata de manihot
Abstract: Plastic is a
materials which required in everyday. But its use generate various problem,
especially if the plastic used as packer of food. Usage of plastic
directly can give negative impact to
health. To overcome the negative impact done by effort one of them making of
environment friendly plastic from
natural materials like nata de manihot. The aim of this research are syntesis plastic sheet
from nata de manihot, knowing the
physical and morphology, and time relation with power of biodegradation.
This research early with making of nata de manihot and nata de coco used as
comparator. Measured nata’s thickness,
then in press so that form sheet of nata flimsy which still wet. After that,
immersion during 14 day in gliserol with concentration variation of 1%, 2%, 3%,
and pa. This sheet is dried in the oven at temperature ± 70, so that yielded sheet of nata which in form
of plastic sheet. Its Morphology is analysed by SEM ( Scanning Electron
Microscope), its power of biodegradation
tested with burying in ground during 8 days, and each every 2 days
measured by weight of rest of plastic
sheet. Pursuant to result of research obtained plastic sheet of nata which is
soaked in gliserol at concentration 3% yielding more flexible and more transparent compared to other
concentration. Total biodegradation of plastic nata de manihot is over in 8
days.
