Abstract
Agricultural waste such as sugarcane and paddy are common during harvesting to production process. Sometimes they burned after the harvest process, as consequently the environmental problem got multiply. Demand for Composite Material got inflate recently, because they are lighter and stronger than Polyethylene Plastic. Filler in composite materials is expensive and requires precise design. The aim of this research is to create cheap and eco-friendly composite materials, besides raised value of agricultural waste. The composite material using sugarcane bagasse as fibre, paddy chaff powder applied as filler and polyester resin as matrix. In this study, we varied the fibre direction with composition of sugarcane bagasse and paddy chaff powder. In this research fibre direction has three levels they are 0, 45 and 90 degrees. Composition between sugarcane bagasse, paddy chaff powder and polyester resin ratio has three levels they are 15:15:70, 12.5:12.5:75 and 10:10:80. ANOVA test shown fibre direction has significant influence to ability of the material to absorb impact energy 78.14 percent than fibre composition 12.10 percent. The highest impact absorb value is 0.3 degrees Joule on composition ratio paddy chaff: sugarcane: polyester resin is 15:15:70 and 45 degrees fibre direction.
Highlights
Sugarcane bagasse (SCB) is waste during sugar production process
It is found that the F count for the Fibre direction (FD) factor is 12.10 with the F table value of 3.55 so it is said that the F count is greater than the F table so that H0 is rejected
It was found that the calculated F for the interaction between the orientation of the fibre direction and the percentage composition was 0.78 with an F table value of 2.93 so it was said that the calculated F was smaller than the F table so that H0 was accepted
Summary
Sugarcane bagasse (SCB) is waste during sugar production process. Predicted in 2025 sugar production about 3.2 million ton, estimated half mass of them is wasted that called sugarcane bagasse [1]. Indonesia production about 70million ton rice and contributes as much as 9.52% of total global rice production. Paddy chaff (PCF) is residue from rice harvesting and their weight is quarter from paddy [3]. Stock of both waste materials are plentiful. Both abandon or burned after harvest or production process. That releasing carbon dioxide into air, and have contribution on pollution, and this may release about 2091 CO2 lb gas per each ton [4].
