Pembuatan dan Karakterisasi Nanopartikel Abu Boiler Kelapa Sawit dan Carbon Black sebagai Bahan Pengisi Nanokomposit Termoplastik LDPE

Abstract

Have been manufacture and characterization of palm oil boiler ash (POBA) nanoparticles and carbon black (CB) as fillers in LDP J-,; thermoplastic nanocomposite. Nanoparticles of POBA by using a ball mill and then coprecipitation method, after that carried out manufacture LDPE nanocomposite by hot press and cold press method Variation the composition of ABKS and CB nanoparticles as fillers on nanocomposite thermoplastic LDPE is (0, 5, 10, 15, 20)% wt. The results of XRD analysis of POBA particle size is 85.3 nm and CB is 36. 74 nm. In the nanocomposite thermoplastic LDPE with filler nanoparticles POBA with the best composition of 20% wt showed visible surface morphology analysis and distributed evenly, tensile strength is 20.93 MPa, elongation at break is 472.22 mm, and Young's modulus 221.1 MPa, the result of thermal analysis is 492.68 °C decomposition temperature changes in mass. While the best composition on the filler CB at 5% wt showed visible surface morphology analysis looks an agglomerate, tensile strength 21.45 MPa, elongation at break is 436.21, and Young's modulus 246.22 MP a, the result of thermal analysis is 488. 70 °C decomposition temperature change in mass.
