| dc.description.abstract | NOVA SURIANI: Characteristics of Paper-Based Stem Banana
(Musa Paradisiaca) and Waste Paper, supervised by AINUN ROHANAH and
NAZIF ICHWAN.
It is time for Indonesia to reduce dependence on paper usage with raw
materials from the tree. It can be the development of alternative environmentally
friendly and does not increase the number of trees to cut down. With pape
rmaking waste utilizing the banana (Musa paradisiaca) and waste paper are
wasted deemed suitable to overcome the problems of the use of the current paper.
This research was done on May-Juni 2013. The processing of paper making was
done on Jl. No Roso. 8 Delitua Medan North Sumatra and the testing of paper
was done in Laboratory PT PDM Indonesia, Medan, using non-factorial
randomized block design with on factor.i.e. waste paper composition (0%, 10%,
20%, 30%, 40% and 50%). Parameters observed were grammage, tensile and
tearing strenght. The results showed that the composition of the waste paper had
highly signifficant effect on grammage and tensile strength. The resulting paper
can be categorized as art paper with best result of grammage by ingredienting at
the composition of 30% (350 g stem banana and 150 g waste paper), tensile
strength and tearing strenghtrip at the composition of 0% (500 g stem banana). | en_US |
