Potensi serat sabut kelapa perlu diteliti untuk dibuat komposit. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui pengaruh fraksi volume serat sabut kelapa terhadap sifat tarik, sifat bending dan ketangguhan impak komposit dengan matrik polyester, katalis MEKPO, dan NaOH. Serat sabut kelapa yang digunakan ber diameter 0.2 mm. Komposit dibuat dengan metode cetak tekan pada fraksi volume 20-35%. Pengujian sesuai standar ASTM D638 (uji tarik), ASTM D790 (uji bending) dan ASTM D5941 (uji impak) dengan metode impak izot. Pengamatan foto makro untuk menganalisis kegagalan. Kekuatan tarik dan regangan tarik semakin meningkat dengan peningkatan fraksi volume. Modulus elastisitas tertinggi pada Vf 31,4% sebesar 0,206 GPa dan menjadi 0,11 GPa pada Vf 34,88% dengan kekuatan tarik 17,48 MPa, regangan 16.64%. Kekuatan bending meningkat dengan penambahan fraksi volume. Peningkatan kekuatan bending tertinggi (tanpa perlakuan alkali) pada fraksi volume 33,7% sebesar 34.17 MPa dan modulus bending sebesar 2.10 GPa. Peningkatan fraksi volume serat sabut kelapa dapat meningkatkan ketangguhan impak, dengan nilai tertinggi sebesar 26,42 kJ/m2 pada fraksi volume 35,84%. Penampang patah pada pengujian tarik didominasi patahan tunggal sedangkan pada pengujian bending dan impak terjadi patahan banyak serta terjadi fiber pull-out
The tourism village of Kalakijo, Yogyakarta, promotes batik and traditional culinary ‘ingkung’ as its main branding strategy. To date, the marketing and promotion of Kalakijo are performed based on conventional strategies. The emergence of the pandemic in recent years further complicates the problems faced by micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSME) owners in Kalakijo. This program aimed to assist the development and application of digital marketing strategies to increase the reach of promotions and attract the interest of younger generations in batik and ingkung. Prior to program implementation, surveys and discussions with Kalakijo villagers and business owners were carried out. The programs were implemented in several steps, including strengthening brand identity, building websites, making product catalogs, and setting up e-commerce platforms. Evaluation and monitoring were also carried out regularly during the program implementation. Through this program, MSMEs in Kalakijo are able to become entity that are independent, adaptive, and competitive in the digital era.
ABS Plastic (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Stiren) is one type of plastic that is often used because of the many properties that are beneficial to humans. ABS plastic is widely used in engineering, for example in the electronics and automotive fields. But there are still disadvantages of ABS plastic, including low hardness, no friction resistance, and no heat resistance, so surface treatment is needed. Electrolessplating is a coating process that does not use electricity in the coating process. This study aims to determine the effect of temperature and time variation of nickel electrolessplating etching on roughness, wear, hardness, and thickness. The variation in etching temperature is 30; 40; 50; 60; and 70oC and the etching time is 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 minutes followed by electrolesplating using nickel for 10 minutes. The tests carried out were surface roughness test, disk on block method wear test, hardness using Shore Durometer tool, and layer thickness using micro photos and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the etching process from electrolyplating affected the specimen surface to be coated with nickel metal. The longer the etching time causes the surface to become coarser from 0.435 μm at 15 minutes to 0.949 μm in 35 minutes. The temperature addition of the etching process will increase the surface surface to a temperature of 50oC at 0.499 μm and then drop. Increasing etching time from 15 minutes to 35 minutes will reduce specific wear, from 1.268 x 10-4 mm2 / kg to 0.465 x 10-4 mm2 / kg. Likewise, the etching temperature from 30oC to 70oC decreases the specific wear from 2.10 x 10-4 mm2 / kg to 0.255 x 10-4 mm2 / kg. The addition of etching and temperature etching time does not significantly increase the hardness value of electrolessplating results. Hardness of raw material is 83.5 shore D after coating the hardness value to 84.7 shore D. The electrolessplating process for 10 minutes produces a layer thickness of 1 μm to 2 μm.
