Munculnya permasalahan lingkungan akibat plastik sintetik mendorong perlunya penelitian bahan kemasan mudah terurai (bioplastik). Salah satu bahan yang tersedia di alam dan berpotensi sebagai pembentuk bioplastik adalah alginat karena mampu membentuk gel. Bioplastik dari alginat memiliki sifat yang tidak fleksibel sehingga perlu ditambah gliserol sebagai plasticizer. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh konsentrasi alginat dari Sargassum sp. terhadap sifat fisik dan mekanik bioplastik dengan penambahan gliserol dan CaCl2. Materi penelitian ini adalah alginat hasil ekstraksi Sargassum sp. yang diambil dari Perairan Pantai Sundak, Gunung Kidul. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksperimental laboratoris yang terdiri dari empat perlakuan konsentrasi alginat (0,5%, 1%, 3% dan 5%)  dengan tiga pengulangan.  Sifat bioplastik yang diuji meliputi sifat fisik (ketebalan, ketahanan air, kehilangan berat) dan sifat mekanik (kuat tarik dan elongasi). Data yang diperoleh dianalisis menggunakan analisis sidik ragam (ANOVA). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan semakin tinggi konsentrasi alginat akan meningkatkan  ketebalan, ketahanan air dan kuat tarik bioplastik namun menurunkan elongasi dan kehilangan berat bioplastik. Konsentrasi alginat berpengaruh terhadap sifat fisik (ketebalan, ketahanan air, kehilangan berat) dan sifat mekanik (kuat tarik  kecuali elongasi), konsentrasi alginat terbaik yang memenuhi Japanese Industrial Standard dan standar SNI 7188.7:2016 adalah 0,5% The emergence of environmental problems due to synthetic plastics has led to the need to research biodegradable packaging materials (bioplastics). One of the ingredients available in nature and has the potential to form bioplastics is alginate because it is capable of forming gel. Bioplastic from alginate has inflexible properties so it needs to be added by glycerol as a plasticizer. This research aims to determine the effect of alginate concentration from Sargassum sp. on the physical and mechanical properties of bioplastics with the addition of glycerol and CaCl2. The method of this research is alginate from Sargassum sp. taken from Sundak Beach Waters, Gunung Kidul. This research used a laboratory experimental method consisting of four treatments of alginate concentration (0.5%, 1%, 3% and 5%) with three repetitions. The properties of the bioplastics tested included physical properties (thickness, water resistance, weight loss) and mechanical properties (tensile strength and elongation). Data obtained were analyzed using variance analysis (ANOVA). The results showed that the higher the concentration of alginate would increased thickness, water resistance and tensile strength of bioplastics but decreased the elongation and weight loss of bioplastics. The alginate concentration affects the physical properties (thickness, water resistance, weight loss) and mechanical properties (tensile strength and except elongation), the best alginate concentrations that meet the Japanese Industrial Standard and SNI 7188.7: 2016 are 0.5%

In this study, the investigation of Local natural Iraqi rocks kaolin with the addition of different proportions of bauxite and its effect on the physical and mechanical properties of the produced refractories was conducted. Kaolin/bauxite mixture was milled and classified into various size fractions, the kaolin (less than 105 μm) and the bauxite (less than 70μm). The specimens were mixed from kaolin and bauxite in ranges B1 (95+5)%, B2 (90+10)%, B3(85+15)%, and B4 (80+20)%  respectively. The green specimens were shaped by the semi-dry method using a hydraulic press and a molding pressure of 7 MPa with the addition of (9-12) %wt. of PVA ratio. After molding and drying, the specimens were fired at (1100, 1200 and 1300) °C. Physical properties (density, porosity, water absorption) and mechanical properties (indirect tensile strength and hardness) were measured for all the prepared samples. The results showed that the porosity was increased and the density was decreased, such increase and decrease affected on to the mechanical properties for refractory. The highest values of indirect tensile strength and hardness were obtained at 20% Bauxite at 1300 °C (0.85386 MPa, 1411Kg / mm²) respectively.

The awareness of the impact of high temperatures on rock properties is essential to the design of deep geotechnical applications. The purpose of this research is to assess the influence of heating and cooling treatments on the physical and mechanical properties of Egyptian granodiorite as a degrading factor. The samples were heated to various temperatures (200, 400, 600, and 800 °C) and then cooled at different rates, either slowly cooled in the oven and air or quickly cooled in water. The porosity, water absorption, P-wave velocity, tensile strength, failure mode, and associated microstructural alterations due to thermal effect have been studied. The study revealed that the granodiorite has a slight drop in tensile strength, up to 400 °C, for slow cooling routes and that most of the physical attributes are comparable to natural rock. Despite this, granodiorite thermal deterioration is substantially higher for quick cooling than for slow cooling. Between 400:600 °C is ‘the transitional stage’, where the physical and mechanical characteristics degraded exponentially for all cooling pathways. Independent of the cooling method, the granodiorite showed a ductile failure mode associated with reduced peak tensile strengths. Additionally, the microstructure altered from predominantly intergranular cracking to more trans-granular cracking at 600 °C. The integrity of the granodiorite structure was compromised at 800 °C, the physical parameters deteriorated, and the rock tensile strength was negligible. In this research, the temperatures of 400, 600, and 800 °C were remarked to be typical of three divergent phases of granodiorite mechanical and physical properties evolution. Furthermore, 400 °C could be considered as the threshold limit for Egyptian granodiorite physical and mechanical properties for typical thermal underground applications.

In this study, Kraft lignin was esterified with phthalic anhydride and was served as reinforcing filler for poly(butylene succinate) (PBS). Composites with different ratios of PBS, lignin (L), modified lignin (ML) and kenaf core fibers (KCF) were fabricated using a compounding method. The fabricated PBS composites and its counterparts were tested for thermal, physical and mechanical properties. Weight percent gain of 4.5% after lignin modification and the FTIR spectra has confirmed the occurrence of an esterification reaction. Better thermo-mechanical properties were observed in the PBS composites reinforced with modified lignin and KCF, as higher storage modulus and loss modulus were recorded using dynamic mechanical analysis. The density of the composites fabricated ranged from 1.26 to 1.43 g/cm3. Water absorption of the composites with the addition of modified lignin is higher than that of composites with unmodified lignin. Pure PBS exhibited the highest tensile strength of 18.62 MPa. Incorporation of lignin and KCF into PBS resulted in different extents of reduction in tensile strength (15.78 to 18.60 MPa). However, PBS composite reinforced with modified lignin exhibited better tensile and flexural strength compared to its unmodified lignin counterpart. PBS composite reinforced with 30 wt% ML and 20 wt% KCF had the highest Izod impact, as fibers could diverge the cracking propagation of the matrix. The thermal conductivity value of the composites ranged from 0.0903 to 0.0983 W/mK, showing great potential as a heat insulator.
