Dragon fruit is a kind of cactus tree from the family Cactaceae. Red dragon fruit contains lots of vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin B1, B2, and B3. These vitamins can increase energy, and metabolize food, and even improve skin quality. This study aims to determine whether red dragon fruit skin extract can be made into lotion preparation and to know the effect of variation of red dragon fruit skin extract on physical properties of lotio. Red dragon fruit skin was extracted by maceration, lotio was made using formulation with variation of dragon fruit skin extract which were F1 (3%), F2 (5%), F3 (7%). The lotio was making by mixing the oil phase into the water. Physical test results showed there was organoleptic change in F1, F2 and F3 after observation for 4 weeks. The average result of pH test for four weeks was meet the lotio requirements ranging from 4.5-8. F1 with an average of 6.5, F2 with an average of 7.25, F3 with an average of 7.5. The result of viscosity test is F1 0,5 poise, F2, F3 and F4 0 poise. The result of F1 7.0 cm, F2 7,1 cm and F3 7.5 cm. The irritation test results are not irritating on the use of F1, F2 and F3. The test results showed that F0 and F1 are more favorable. The result of this research was that red skin dragon fruit extract can be made into lotio formulation and there was influence of variation of extract concentration on the physical properties of lotio.

A teak leaf waste/polyurethane composite has been made for particleboard application. Some fraction variations are performed on the use of polyurethane as a matrix with a range of 0.04–0.20 (w/w). Mechanical and physical properties have been tested on the composites produced. The test results showed that the highest compressive strength of the sample reaches 38.5 MPa for polyurethane fraction of 0.14 (w/w). The composite has a density of 1261 kg m−3 which is in accordance with the result of density on teak. The physical properties have been also investigated and it was found that the lowest value of water absorption is 1.38%. This result indicated that the composites produced are potentially to replace wood raw material in eco-friendly industrial scale.

This research aims to find out the effect of cement-saw dust ratio levels on the physical and mechanical properties of produced composites. The physical properties (density, water content, water absorption after the immersion of one hour and 24 hours, and thickness swelling after the immersion of one hour and 24 hours) and mechanical properties (MOE and MOR) were observed according to ISO standards. The results showed that the use of the cement to sawdust ratio of 3 : 1 in producing wood composite with the target density of 1200 kg/m3 resulted in the lowest water absorption and the highest MOE and MOR. The swelling value and MOR of the produced boards were not acceptable, but their water content, water absorption, and MOE parameters were acceptable according to ISO 8335 1997. Key Words : Physical and mechanical properties, cement wood composite, sawdust

The lightweight aggregate geopolymer concrete (LWAGC) systems were prepared using a lightweight aggregate (LWA) of different size and grading. The diversity in the LWA size and grading led to various physical properties like oven-dry (OD) density, water absorption and total porosity characteristics for the resultant LWAGCs. These physical properties were significantly affected and controlled thermal behavior of the concretes after exposure to elevated temperature of 800 °C. The results of the mechanical and physical test conducted to the unexposed LWAGCs showed that the OD-density and compressive strength increased as the LWA maximum and minimum size decreased. In contrast, the water absorption and total porosity of the unexposed LWAGC were increased with increasing of the LWA maximum and minimum size. Thus, the lowest OD-density LWAGC possessed the highest water absorption and total porosity which resulted in lowest compressive strength, whereas, it has the minimal strength loss after exposure to the elevated temperature. The water absorption and total porosity of the unexposed LWAGCs were indirectly implies the permeability characteristics of the concretes which is controllers the thermal behavior of the LWAGC at elevated temperatures.

The awareness to produce biodegradable composite has increased rapidly because of non-toxic and reachable. However, fully biodegradable composite production still low due to the matrix used in the composite is not biodegradable. Thus, this paper presents the study on mechanical and physical properties for the mixtures of corn starch (CS) with different weight percentages of glycerol as thermoplastics corn starch (TPCS) matrix. The selected glycerol contents were at 30, 35 and 40 wt%. The mixtures of CS and different weight percentages of glycerol were made using hot compression moulding at 165°C for 15 minutes to produce the TPCS samples. The mechanical and physical properties were done: the tensile test, hardness test, water absorption test, moisture content test and microstructure analysis under the Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM). Incorporating 30 wt% loadings of glycerol has increased the tensile strength and hardness. The results show that the addition of higher than 30 wt% loadings of glycerol has decreased the tensile strength and hardness of the TPCS. The physical test results for 30 wt% loadings of glycerol for water absorption test and moisture content show the lowest value than other TPCS samples. However, the density value for all wt% loadings of glycerol does not offer much difference. It reveals that 30 wt% loadings of glycerol in the mixture of CS have shown a good interaction in the TPCS mechanical properties. Based on this finding, the TPCS has huge potential to be used as a matrix to develop a fully biodegradable composite.

Rattan on frequently attacked by the powder post beetle (Tellu, 2001). The prevention of dry powder attacks is done by preservation. The increasing resistant of rattan from insect attack can be done by an environmentally friendly preservative, the Galam wood vinegar. This research  aims to determine the most effective concentration of preservative that shows the lowest attacks level of D. Farb minutus powder. The rattan used is green rattan (Calamus sp.) The concentration of preservative that are used:10%, 40%, 70% and 100%. The testing of dry powder attack  used force feedback method. The effectiveness test parameters of wood vinegar to dry powder attacks  included degree of protection Dinoderus minutus Farb. powder,  reduction percentage of rattan weight and the mortality of dry powder Dinoderus sp for toxicological testing of wood vinegar. The test results showed that the degree of protection powder in rattan growing along with the increased concentration of preservatives. The higher the concentration of  wood vinegar, the smaller the reduction of rattan weight and the higher the mortality rate of dry powder. Keywords: resistant of rattan, wood vinegar, Dinoderus minutus.
