{"title":"Synthesis and Effect of Nanocellulose Obtained from East Java Kenaf Fiber on Mechanical Properties of Polyurethane Foam Composites as Strong and Lightweight Materials","authors":"Yunella Amelia Siagian, A. Juwono, S. Roseno","doi":"10.4028/p-t28t39","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4028/p-t28t39","url":null,"abstract":"Cellulose is a fascinating biopolymer and sustainable raw material. Cellulose particles with at least one dimension in the nanoscale are referred to as nanocellulose. Kenaf fiber is a natural fiber used in this study because it has high mechanical properties and strong interface adhesion with polymers so it provides superior properties to other natural fibers. Polyurethane (PU) foam is widely used as a core layer in sandwich composite construction to produce a lightweight material. This study presents a synthesis of cellulose nano-fibrils (CNF) extracted from East Java, Indonesia based kenaf fibers, an analysis of the effect of adding CNF as a filler and a reinforcement in PU foam composites, and a formulation of PU-CNF foam composite that provided the best mechanical properties as strong and lightweight materials in structural applications. The CNF extraction from kenaf fiber started by fiber pre-treatment including alkalization and bleaching, then mechanical treatment with an Ultra Fine Grinder to produce CNF suspension. The weight variations of CNF in PU foam were 0, 3, 5, 7, and 10 wt%. PU-CNF composite fabrication using the in-situ polymerization method. CNF characterization included TEM, XRD, and FT-IR. TEM results on CNF show that the CNF diameter is in the range of 40-70 nm. The functional group from the FT-IR results showed that the pre-treatment process on kenaf fiber was successful in reducing the lignin and hemicellulose content. XRD results showed that the CNF crystallinity was 75.22%. The PU-CNF foam composite characterization included a compressive test, 3-point bending test, and SEM. The PU foam composite with 3 wt% CNF reinforcement is the best composite which has the optimum value from the results of the compression test and the 3-point bending test. The compressive strength value increased by 20.01%, from 236.997 kPa to 284.434 kPa, the compressive modulus value increased by 29.21% from 5.67 MPa to 7.32 MPa, and the 3-point bending strength value increased 28.29% from 572.24 to 734.15 kPa. All the results expected to support that CNF was a potential reinforcement material with a high surface area for a wide variety of applications.","PeriodicalId":18861,"journal":{"name":"Nano Hybrids and Composites","volume":"67 1","pages":"79 - 90"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83853366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Santosa","doi":"10.4028/p-5k654i","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4028/p-5k654i","url":null,"abstract":"AuNPs have been synthesized with reducing agents and sodium citrate covering agents using the colorimetric method. The formation of sodium citrate-covered AuNPs was confirmed using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The optimization of creatinine concentration of 10 mM was indicated by shifting the absorption peak from 530 to 700 nm. The results of this optimization were then used to standardize the detection of creatinine in urine samples using a validation test method. The TEM results showed that the AuNPs were dispersed at relatively large distances. The size of the AuNPs was 30.67 nm and creatinine was 19.96 nm. This is because no substance had aggregate NPS, therefore, the particles are still scattered. Testing the quantitative value of Red-Green-Blue (RGB) digital images involved a mobile phone camera. The resulting images were stored in a memory card and then transferred to a laptop/computer. The data were processed using ImageJ software. The linear correlation and selectivity of the quantitative values of Red-Green-Blue (RGB) from the RGB method were compared with the results of colorimetric detection using the UV-Vis spectrophotometric method. The data were used to determine the amount of creatinine concentration. The results exhibited that sodium citrate had the ability as a reducing agent and a covering agent in the synthesis of AuNPs for the determination of creatinine. The RGB digital image method had good sensitivity to creatinine with LoD of 0.068 mM dan LoQ of 0.228 mM, which was smaller than the UV-Vis spectrophotometric method where LoD was 0.225 mM and LoQ was 0.751 mM. The validation method results showed that AuNPs can be used as a creatinine sensor. This method used a colorimetric sensor of the Red-Green-Blue (RGB) component in urine samples and was translated with ImageJ software.","PeriodicalId":18861,"journal":{"name":"Nano Hybrids and Composites","volume":"53 1","pages":"23 - 31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77284905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The infill’s density is 50%, which gives enough strength for most prototyping applications and reduces the print time considerably. The geometries of infill tested in this paper are lines, honeycomb and gyroid.

Heating even to 400°C resulted in significant growth of crystal size. Surprisingly, films thinner than about 50 nm could not be heated at higher temperatures due to the evaporation of the oxide.

The paper aims to determine the coefficient of friction and wear behaviour of three different 3D-printed polylactic acid (PLA) materials in contact with a metallic counterbody. 3D printing process of the proposed PLA filaments was achieved by applying the FDM technique, using same deposition parameters for all three types of materials. Tribological characteristics of the 3D printed polymers were evaluated using pin-on-disk method and a comparison among the obtained frictional features of the specimens has been analyzed. The printed PLA samples show significant differences in sliding wear behaviour, the material loss of Co-reinforced PLA specimen is much more substantial than that obtained for PLA and tough PLA samples, due to the presence of metallic particles, hence for this specimen, an inferior wear resistance is attributed.","PeriodicalId":18861,"journal":{"name":"Nano Hybrids and Composites","volume":"8 1","pages":"103 - 111"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87451711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding the reasons of the increased breakdown voltage with addition of nanofillers at certain loadings to insulating fluids is of great importance. Hence, understanding how electric breakdown occurs in nanofluids can help researchers to select the more suitable nanofiller material, nanofiller particle size ....... etc. to be added to insulating fluids. Therefore, in this paper, a generalized electric breakdown mechanism of insulating nanofluids is presented. The generalized mechanism takes different parameters into consideration. These parameters are nanoparticle permittivity, nanoparticle size and insulating fluid temperature. To demonstrate the validity of the generalized breakdown mechanism, theoretical computations are carried out using finite element analysis. Also, breakdown experiments considering transformer oil are carried out considering different nanofiller materials, nanofiller sizes at different temperatures.","PeriodicalId":18861,"journal":{"name":"Nano Hybrids and Composites","volume":"113 1","pages":"81 - 88"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89389356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
