AbstractPlastic waste needs attention because it can cause serious problems if not managed properly. Of the various types of plastics, the most widely disposed of to the environment are Polypropylene, Polyethylene Terephthalate, and High-Density Polyethylene which are usually in the form of plastic bags and bottles. This research was conducted to make bricks made of plastic as an alternative material for infrastructure that is economical, strong, and durable, which is seen based on the compressive strength value based on its type, namely PP, PET, and HDPE plastic bricks. The compressive strength testing phase is carried out three times in each type. The selling price of plastic bricks is determined by the Markup pricing method. The process of plastic brick making includes collecting plastic waste, washing, drying, chopping, melting, and printing. Based on the research results, the plastic bricks produced from the types of PET, HDPE, and PP are in the form of blocks with a size of 19 cm x 10 cm x 6.5 cm, where the PET type brick requires 5.1 kg of waste, 3.6 kg of HDPE type, and the type of PP as much as 3 kg. The compressive strength test values for PP, PET, and HDPE plastic bricks have met the compressive strength standards based on SNI 15-2094-2000, with the highest average compressive strength test values found in PP plastic bricks of 246 kg/cm², plastic bricks HDPE type 166 kg/cm², and plastic brick type PET 98.7 kg/cm². The selling price of plastic bricks without including the purchase price of plastic as raw material for making plastic bricks (Scenario I) for PP plastic bricks costs Rp1.907,00/brick, PET types Rp3.024,00/brick, and HDPE types Rp3.464,00/brick. While the selling price of plastic bricks by entering the purchase price of plastic as raw material for making plastic bricks (Scenario II) for PP plastic bricks Rp2.867,00/brick, PET type Rp4.624,00/brick, and HDPE type Rp3.944,00/brick.Keywords: Compressive Strength, Markup Pricing, Plastic Brick. AbstrakSampah plastik perlu mendapatkan perhatian karena menimbulkan masalah yang serius jika tidak dikelola dengan baik.

Waste disposal can contribute to the problem of environmental pollution. Most of the waste material is plastic based, because the nature of difficult of plastic degradable by itself. In order to overcome the problem, many study has been conducted on the reuse of plastic material into various field such as civil engineering and construction. In this study, municipal solid waste (MSW) in the form of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) plastic was used to replace sand in cement sand brick production. The HDPE used in this study was obtained from a recycle factory at Nilai, Negeri Sembilan. 3% of HDPE replacement was applied in this study, with the cement-sand mix design of 1:6 and water-cement ratio 0.35, 0.40, 0.45 and 0.50 respectively. All specimens were tested for compressive strength and water absorption at 7 and 28 days. The density of the bricks was also recorded. The finding show that brick with 3% HDPE content and 0.45 of water-cement ratio at 28 days of age curing show the highest compressive strength, which is 19.5N/mm2 compared to the control specimen of 14.4 N/mm2.

Mortar merupakan bahan konstruksi yang umum digunakan pada gedung maupun jalan. Beberapa konstruksi yang menggunakan mortar antara lain Lane Concrete (LC), spesi, perekat bata ringan, plester dinding, acian instan, pemasangan kramik, dan lain-lain. Serat limbah plastik HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) pada penelitian ini adalah bahan campuran sebagai pengikat dan pengganti semen. Plastik HDPE merupakan salah satu jenis plastik yang jika dilihat secara visual tergolong pekat, dimana pemakaian jenis plastik ini biasanya digunakan  untuk botol minuman. Jenis plastik HDPE mudah untuk di daur ulang. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat mengurangi jumlah limbah plastik yang ada di Indonesia. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengkaji pengaruh pencampuran serat limbah plastik HDPE dengan variasi terhadap kuat tekan dan berat mortar. Serat yang digunakan sebanyak 0%, 2%, 4%, dan 6% terhadap berat semennya. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk memperoleh kuat tekan mortar pada umur 7 hari dan 28 hari dengan menggunakan benda uji kubus dengan dimensi 15 cm × 15 cm × 15 cm. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa kuat tekan tertinggi untuk mortar serat pada variasi serat 2% di umur 28 hari yaitu sebesar 14,47 MPa. Kuat tekan mortar pada umur 7 dan 28 hari berturut-turut mengalami kenaikan sekitar 11%. Sedangkan pada penambahan serat, kuat tekan mortar mengalami penurunan seiring dengan semakin banyaknya campuran serat. Mortar serat mengalami penurunan berat dari 7696 gram menjadi 7640 gram, 7422 gram, dan 7280 gram, masing-masing untuk 2%, 4%, dan 6% serat pada umur 28 hari. Mortar is a construction material commonly used in building and road infrastructure. Some constructions that use mortar include Lane Concrete (LC), species, light brick adhesives, wall plaster, mechanical installation, and others. HDPE plastic waste fiber (High density polyethylene) in this study is a mixture of materials as binders and cement substitutes. HDPE plastic is one type of plastic that when viewed visually is classified as concentrated, where the use of this type of plastic is usually used for beverage bottles. The HDPE plastic type is easy to recycle. In 2015, global plastic waste in the world was recorded at 2.5 billion tons per year, so this research is expected to reduce the amount of plastic waste in Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to analyze the  effect of mixing HDPE plastic waste fibers on compressive strength and mortar weight. This HDPE variations of 0%, 2%, 4%, and 6% is used from the weight of the cement. This study was carried out to obtain the compressive strength at the ages of 7 days and 28 days using cube specimens with dimensions of 15 cm × 15 cm × 15 cm. Based on the results of the test, the highest compressive strength for mortar at of 2% fiber variation at 28 days is 14.47 MPa. The compressive strength of mortar at the age of 7 and 28 consecutive days increased by 11%. While the addition of fibers, compressive strength of mortar decreases with the increasing number of fiber mixtures. Fiber mortar decreased in weight from 7696 grams to 7640 grams, 7422 grams, and 7280 grams, for fiber of 2%, 4%, and 6% respectively. Mortar is a construction material commonly used in building and road infrastructure.

AbstractHAPEXTM (40 vol% hydroxyapatite in a high-density polyethylene matrix) and AWPEX (40 vol% apatite-wollastonite glass ceramic in a high density polyethylene matrix) are composites designed to provide bioactivity and to match the mechanical properties of human cortical bone. HAPEXTM has had clinical success in middle ear and orbital implants, and there is great potential for further orthopaedic applications of these materials. However, more detailed in vitro investigations must be performed to better understand the biological interactions of the composites and so the bioactivity of each material was assessed in this study. Specifically, the effects of controlled surface topography and ceramic filler composition on apatite layer formation in acellular simulated body fluid (SBF) with ion concentration similar to those of human blood plasma were examined. Samples were prepared as 1 cm × 1 cm × 1 mm tiles with polished, roughened, or parallel-grooved surface finishes, and were incubated in 20 ml of SBF at 36.5 °C for 1, 3, 7, or 14 days. The formation of a biologically active apatite layer on the composite surface after immersion was demonstrated by thin-film x-ray diffraction (TF-XRD), environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) imaging and energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) analysis. Variations in sample weight and solution pH over the period of incubation were also recorded. Significant differences were found between the two materials tested, with greater bioactivity in AWPEX than HAPEXTM overall. Results also indicate that within each material the surface topography is highly important, with rougher samples correlated to earlier apatite formation.
