Physico-mechanical properties and thermal decomposition characteristics of pellets from Jatropha curcas L. residues as affected by water addition

Composites are materials which synergically combine properties of each phase – matrix and filler. Polymer materials can be used as matrix while inorganic and organic particles can be used as fillers. Composite systems based on renewable resources can be designed as an interesting material for engineering. This paper describes on the tribological and other mechanical properties of biocomposites based on polymer resins and microparticles - seed cakes, which were obtained from seeds of the plant Jatropha Curcas L. during pressing. The particle size obtained was 573 µm.The results confirmed that the epoxy and polyurethane resins were capable of forming which corresponds to the interaction with the organic particles prepared from the seeds of Jatropha Curcas L. The presence of particles however, changed the mechanical properties of the resins. In the case of epoxy resins and polyurethane (Sika Force 7723), the hardness according to Shore D identically decreased with a maximum of 1.9. Abrasion resistance decreased due to the presence of particles of 0.0393 cm3 for Glue Epox Rapid, 0.0449 cm3 for Epoxy 1200/324 and 0.0567 cm3 for Sika Force 7723.

Jatropha curcas L. is a plant with a high potential with many technologically useful part – seeds of the plant are the most utilized. A development of composite materials – biocomposites from renewable resource is an interesting and prospective tendency of a material engineering. A filler of the biocomposites can be from worse useful parts of plants which were primarily technologically processed for the purpose of gaining various commodities. As an example we can mentioned gaining of oil from Jatropha curcas L. seeds when it is possible to use rests cake from whole seeds. An experiment describes basic mechanical properties of an epoxy resin filled with microparticles of seed cakes (575 μm).

Jatropha Curcas L

Indonesia memiliki banyak tanah masam, tetapi penggunaan masih sangat sedikit karena kandungan nutrisi tanah masam rendah. Sementara itu, jarak pagar merupakan tanaman yang dapat tumbuh di berbagai jenis tanah (termasuk lahan marjinal) dan penggunaannya sebagai bahan baku biodiesel. Oleh karena itu, perlunya penelitian mengenai pertumbuhan jarak pagar pada tanah masam sebagai upaya untuk mengembangkan jarak pagar dan penggunaannya di Indonesia.Untuk memulai upaya, penelitian tentang berbagai genotipe jarak pagar di tanah masam telah dilakukan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu mempelajari genotipe jarak pagar yang berpotensi untuk tanah masam. Penelitian ini dilakukan di UPTD Pengembangan Teknologi Lahan Kering Singabraja, Kecamatan Tenjo, Bogor, Jawa Barat, dari November 2010-Agustus 201. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Kelompok Lengkap Teracak (RKLT) dengan satu faktor yaitu genotipe. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan berbagai perbedaan pada pertumbuhan diantara genotipe-genotipe jarak pagar. Secara umum, ada lima genotipe jarak pagar yang terbaik di tanah masam (pH 5.0) yaitu Medan I-5-1, Dompu, IP-2P-3-4-1, Sulawesi, dan Bima M.
