Abstract

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a natural polymer which have superior properties, like high porosity, high purity, and high permeability. The study objective is to determine the influence of chemical pretreatment on tensile strength and the porosity of BC. The method was to make BC films from pineapple peel extract through fermentation process for 14 days. The pretreatment was conducted by immersion of BC in BmimCl, H2O2, and NaOH solution with a concentration of 2.5%; 5%; and 7.5 %, heated at 80 °C then dried in the oven, and the samples were then tested by a tensile test using ASTM-D636-V standard, morphology analysis using Scanning Electron Microscope, and porosity analysis. The results indicate that the tensile strength of control sample was 123 MPa, whereas after chemical pretreatment, the tensile strength was decreased with the greater reduction occurred using NaOH pretreatment compared than the other solutions that having a lower tensile strength of 8.54 MPa at 7.5 % of NaOH. The results of porosity show that the value increased after being treated chemically. The BC film porosity was 87.13% after  NaOH treatment of 7.5% while BC film untreated had porosity of 19.15%. This phenomenon was occurred due to the increasing pore, so the absorption of water increased.

Abstract

Fuse Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printing is one of additive manufacturing technology which physical 3D model is build up layer by layer. The support structure is almost involved on the process if overhang shape is met on the 3D model. It has main function to prevent the 3D printed model from collapsing. Commonly, the single material source of FDM 3D printer machine is to supply building two structure, structure of main 3D object and support structure. Hence, our goal optimizes the using of support material for reducing the main material usage. Furthermore, the sixteen of variation overhang angle is set to the 3D model. All models are printed into two kind of 3D printed model, printed model with support structure addition and without support addition. The weight of each 3D printed model is measured by weight scale with accuracy of tool is 10-4 g. Then the quality and the weight of 3D printed model are compared and analyzed. The result shows that the average overweight of 3D printed model with support structure addition is 40.41% than without support structure addition. Furthermore, there are several the 3D printed models without support structure that fail printed on variety model with 0° until 11° of overhang angle. The conclusion of this study is that the support structure can prevent the 3D printed model from collapsing but it does not need be built up if the overhang angle more than 11°.

Abstract

This study sets out to investigate the distortion angle, microstructure, and hardness of St 37 steel plate weld joint produced by FCAW using the welding current of 80, 110, and 140 A. By using flat position, CO2 and E71T-1 wire were utilized as a shielding gas and electrode filler, respectively. The distortion angle measurement was done on 3 different locations of the welded sample perpendicular to weld direction by using bevel protractor. The micro Vickers tests were then applied gradually at the cross-sectional surface with a distance of 0, 5, 10 and 15 mm from weld centreline using the load of 300 g for indentation time of 15 s. A series of microstructural observations were subsequently directed on cross-sectional weld joint regions including base metal, heat-affected zone (HAZ) and weld metal to investigate the microstructural transformation. From the results, it can be observed that increasing welding current can reduce the hardness at all indentation regions as well as inducing a higher level of thermal distortion occurred on a weld joint, especially at HAZ. The microstructural transformation was also observed at sample welded using various welding current. Both heat input and cooling rate subjected to the welded sample played an important role to characterize their properties.

Abstract

Nanofibers have been prepared from the mixture of chitosan, polyethylene oxide (PEO) and Colocasia esculenta flour (CE flour) by using the electrospinning method. Two different nanofibers were formulated, containing chitosan-PEO and chitosan-PEO-CE flour. The higher concentration of PEO (3%chitosan-6%PEO) (w/v) resulted in more uniform chitosan-PEO electrospun nanofibers without beads. Chitosan-PEO-CE flour was prepared by addition of colloidal CE flour into the solution containing 3%chitosan-6%PEO with variation of the CE flour concentration of 5, 15 and 25% (w/v). Scanning Electron Microscopy demonstrated that the average diameter of chitosan-PEO nanofibers was 128±41 nm, whereas the diameter of chitosan-PEO-CE flour nanofibers was 159±45 nm. The diameters of nanofibers increased with the increase of CE flour content. Fourier transform infrared spectra demonstrate the presence characteristic peaks of chitosan, PEO and CE flour.

Abstract

A connecting rod is one of the most critical parts in engine assembly which transfers energy from the piston to the crankshaft. The connecting rod mainly undergoes tensile and compressive loading under engine cyclic process. The forces acting on the connecting rod are forces due to maximum combustion pressure and forces due to the inertia of the connecting rod. This research aimed to analyze the design of the connecting rod of single-cylinder four-stroke engines. This study used CAD software for modeling and structural design. Stresses generated across all the locations of the connecting rod were evaluated using FEA Software. Elastic linear analysis of model design was also performed. The simulation results in this study have led to the conclusion that failure occurred due to the incorrect selection of materials. Among all materials under study, AA 6061 is considered the most suitable material for use at high RPM. In fact, aluminum is preferable for use at high RPM.

Abstract

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a widespread, low-cost biopolymer that has generally been produced from plants and biomass waste. A method for improving the range of applications for bacterial cellulose is adding graphene material. It has an outstanding feature that can increase the performance of nanocomposite materials. The research aims to observe the effect of graphene on the surface morphology, crystallinity, chemical bonding, and tensile strength of BC/CuO nanocomposite. For this study's synthesis, BC was synthesized by fermenting pineapple peel extract for 10 to 14 days. The produced BC was crushed, homogenized with a nano homogenizer machine, and filtered. Filtered BC, CuO, and graphene were added to obtain a solution, and the mixture was first stirred magnetically, followed by an ultrasonic homogenizer, and finally dried using a freeze-dry method to make a porous nanocomposite. According to SEM analysis, the addition of CuO and graphene can fill porosity nanocomposite. By XRD analysis, the addition of graphene reduces the crystallinity of BC/CuO. The FTIR data showed that adding graphene reduces hydrogen bonding and makes some Cu-O-C bonding. The tensile test has demonstrated that the tensile strength of BC-based nanocomposite with graphene reinforcement tends to decrease.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the toughness of casts produced by the sand casting process at various temperatures against brass, and to investigate the structure contained in the cast madeusing abrass metal mould. This study was experimental research that observed the results of a treatment applied to a specimen group. This pre-experimental study usedthe one-shot case study model in which a group of samples was given treatment. The results showed that the specimen poured at 900°C exhibiteda microstructure consisting ofgood Cu-Zn content, while that at 700°Chad the least Cu content. It indicates that the higher the temperature used for metal casting (brass), the more brittle the cast. The toughness of the materialwas influenced by the alloy composition and the pouring temperature of each specimen; the higher the pouring temperature, the better the treatment of alloy. The photomicrographs indicate that the higher the pouring temperature usedin the metal casting (brass), the lesser the carbon element contained in the material.

Abstract

Environmental pollution due to plastic waste taking too long to decompose has become a global problem. There have been numerous solutions proposed, one of which is the use of bioplastics. The use of cassava starch as the main ingredient in the manufacture of bioplastics shows great potential, since Indonesia has a diverse range of starch-producing plants. The aim of the present study is to analyse the effect of glycerol on microbial degradation. This experimental research investigated the use of cassava flour mixed with glycerol plasticizer at various concentrations (0, 2, 2.5, 3%) in the synthesis of bioplastics. The aspects studied were biodegradability, moisture absorption (using ASTM D570), shelf life, and morphological properties (using a camera equipped with a macro lens) and SEM. This study revealed that complete degradation could be achieved on the 9th day. The addition of a large concentration of glycerol would accelerate the microbial degradation process, increase moisture, and extend the shelf life of bioplastics in a dry place.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the influences between clearance and punch velocity on the part edge quality of blanked parts. Experiments have been conducted using material copper, punch-die clearance and punch velocity variations. In order to determine the reachable punch-die clearance and punch velocity required for blanking. The quality of the part-edge characteristics shows that higher punch velocity and decreases clearance value can improve the part-edge quality, resulting in smaller burr height and rollover, and a larger shear zone. Furthermore, it could be observed that the part-edge quality improvement when blanking with high punch velocity is much more distinct for stele than for copper. According to blanking theory, this improvement was expected because copper have much higher heat conduction coefficients. Therefore, the heat dissipates faster and the desired stress relief effect does not take place to the same degree as for stele.

Abstract

Ti42Zr40Ta3Si7.5Sn7.5metallic glass powder prepared for subsequent consolidation by hot pressing were produced by high energy ball milling from amorphous ribbon and both of the compositional and structural evolution on milled powders were studied using XRD and DSC analyses. By using WC vial and balls, the abrasion of milling media occurred causing WC contamination on < 105 µm milled powder after 2 cycles of milling. Based on DSC analysis, the contamination clearly reduced theΔTxof the alloy up to 48%. On the other hand, the contamination were overcome after milling using SS vial and balls, proved by no crystal peak observed on XRD pattern of all milling cycle levels. However, the thermal stability was noticed to be decreased implying the presence of nanocrystals on the amorphous powder after ball milling and the nanocrystal amount tend to be higher when more milling cycles were applied.
