“…These are used as a source of pulp and paper. Bamboo fibers are easy to bleach because they tend to be long, making them suitable for pulp manufacture [9]. One of the criteria used to evaluate the quality of the paper is the bamboo fiber's size.…”

The FASP Pondok Buluh is located in Dolok Panribuan District, Simalungan Regency, Sumatera Utara, which has uniqueness due to the number of bamboo species found in this area, such as Betung Bamboo. This bamboo has a long fiber and is suitable for pulp and paper materials. This research aims to measure the dimension of Betung Bamboo and its fiber derivatives value for the eligibility of pulp and paper material. A total of 3 stems of Betung Bamboo were cut, and samples were taken in the form of a disc with a length of 5 cm at heights of 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, and 15 meters. Then the sample was cut into sticks, and separated fibers were made using the maceration process. Furthermore, the dimensions of the sample were measured using a light microscope, namely fiber length, fiber diameter, and fiber wall thickness, and then the measurement for the fiber derivatives value of the bamboo fiber. The results of this research obtained the average dimension of bamboo fiber is 2402 μm for fiber length, fiber diameter is 18.18 μm, lumen diameter is 8.73 μm, and fiber wall thickness is 4.91 μm. The fiber length graph shows the decreased fiber length along the bottom to the top of the bamboo culm and the wavy trend for the fiber diameter on some bamboo heights. The measurement of the fiber derivatives values obtained the average Runkle ratio 1.15, felting power 133.63, mulhsteph ratio 76.91%, rigidity coefficient 0.27, and flexibility ratio 0.48. Then the quality class of bamboo fiber was determined. A score of 275-325 was obtained with quality class II, meaning that Betung Bamboo is grown in the Pondok Buluh area. It is suitable for use as raw material for pulp and paper because it has long fibers, is easy to flatten when milled, and has good fiber bonds.

“…The fiber becomes rigid and does not collapse, which results in a small contact surface and greater difficulty of accommodation. [36] At low SKP content, the stress transfer to matrix is relatively uniform and results in high tensile strength, whereas in the case of high SKP content above 5% (w/w), agglomeration of fiber predominates and presents uneven distribution of stress transfer in the composite system, causing a weak interface between SKP and PLA/PBS matrix. Hence, the poor interfacial adhesion between the PLA/PBS matrix and SKP occurred at the highest SKP content (20% w/w) because it had the lowest tensile strength and elongation at break.…”

The demand for plastic packaging material has continued to increase worldwide, a phenomenon that had led to more negative impacts on the environment, especially waste pollution issues caused by the petrochemical industry producing plastics and polymers. As a result, this research aimed to study the production of biodegradable packaging by blending polylactic acid (PLA) and polybutylene succinate (PBS) with 5-20% (w/w) sweet bamboo (Dendrocalamus asper Backer) kraft pulp (SKP). Subsequently, several analyses were used to evaluate the biopolymer properties to determine if the composite could be used to produce biodegradable packaging. The addition of SKP 5% (w/w) provided the PLA/PBS composite with the highest thermal and mechanical properties. Furthermore, the effect of a plasticizer was studied by combining 5%, 10%, or 15% (w/w) Mesamoll in the PLA/PBS composite with 5% (w/w) SKP. This addition changed all composite properties and in particular provided good water vapor barrier properties. Finally, this research revealed that SKP plays a role as a nucleating agent in plasticized PLA/PBS composite.

“…Runkle ratio (RR) on Yellow Bamboo ranged from 1.37-3.64, with an average Runkle value of 2.32. For good pulping, the fiber with a Runkle value is smaller than one because it has a thin cell wall and a large lumen diameter so that the fiber can be completely flat in the pulp sheet and the bonds between the fibers are good [22]. In this case, yellow bamboo fiber has an RR of more than 1, which means that if it is used as a raw material for pulp and paper, more chemicals are needed to break down the lignin contained in the fiber wall.…”

Forest Area with Special Purpose (FASP) Forest Training Pondok Buluh has a forest area of around 1.272 ha, with much plant species diversity, such as Yellow Bamboo. Bamboo can be used as a material that has the potential as a raw material to replace wood in several uses, one of which is pulp and paper. This study aims to analyze the dimension and derivation of fiber dimensions of the yellow bamboo that grows in FASP Pondok Buluh. The method used in this study is to get the maceration process of the bamboo sticks from yellow bamboo, then observe under a microscope to see the dimension of the fiber, then calculate the value of the derivative of its fiber dimensions. The results of this study obtained the average dimension of yellow bamboo fiber is 1945 μm in fiber length, fiber diameter is 12.75 μm, lumen diameter is 4.20 μm, and fiber wall thickness is 4.28 μm. Then calculated the fiber dimension derivative and obtained a Runkle ratio of 2.32, felting power of 152.61, muhlsteph ratio of 88.73%, coefficient of rigidity of 0.34, and flexibility ratio of 0.32. Based on the result of the derivative of the fiber dimensions, yellow bamboo gets a score of 225-275, which is included in quality class II. This means that the yellow bamboo that grows in the Pondok Buluh area can be used as a raw material for pulp and paper.
