This study aimed to determine the ability of polystyrene in ballpen barrels of making a brick to be more compacted than the ordinary clay bricks. Polystyrene is a synthetic aromatic hydrocarbon polymer made from the monomer styrene that also makes a brick denser. The Wood ash from burned wood are usually used by the gardeners as a good source of potash. Wood ash has an ability of making the bricks lighter than the usual clay bricks. Additional wood ash is better than coal ash, because coal ash has a dangerous chemicals that may harm human. The goal of this study is to lessen the ballpen barrels and wood ash that are not disposed properly and make this in a creative way. Five test was conducted to determine the potential of polystyrene and wood ash namely water absorption test, drop test, efflorescence test, compressive test and heat resistance test. Based from the data gathered, it concluded that polystyrene from ballpen barrel and wood ash with the ratio of 50% Cement, 25% Wood Ash, 25% Ballpen Barrels is effective additives in production of lightweight

Parameters for measuring the physical properties on this research are divided into three elements, including measurement of weight, water absorption, and density. This research was conducted from January to March 2018 to determine the physical properties of wood powder composites and bagasse. The manufacturing and testing process refers to the ASTM and JIS standards. Weight and density testing refer to the ASTM D 792 standard while the water absorption test refers to the JIS A5908 standard. The results showed that the density of wood powder was 0.4175 gr / cm3, and the bagasse was 0.3125 gr / cm3. Then, fiber absorption in units of volume to water and resin were 16.88% and 13.75% respectively. The results showed that the largest water absorption was found in composite wood powder 60% and bagasse 40%, which was 13.47%, and for the highest density values found in wood powder composites as much as 80% or 1,078.29 kg / m3

This research investigated the tensile and water absorption properties of kenaf fibre mat/polyester composites. Treatment using acetylation method has been introduced to improve the properties of product manufactured. The effects of acetylation treatment with three variations of time that were 1, 4 and 24 hours on the kenaf fibre mats were investigated. The MOE of the tensile of treated fibre mat/polyester composite for 1 hour was the highest with value 4589.61 MPa. The tensile strength of treated fibre mat/polyester composite for 4 hours was the highest with value 0.6213 MPa. For water absorption test, the results showed that fibre mat/polyester composite with treatment duration for 1 hour had the lowest water absorption that was 1.23% compared with treatment duration for 4 hours and 24 hours. For overall it can be concluded that the treatment duration of 1 hour was recommended for acetylation method when compared with 4 hours and 24 hours duration treatments. Using acetylation treatment on the kenaf fibre mat/polyester composites was showed improvement on composite and was recommended in short duration of treatment.

Silane impregnation effects on concrete sulfate attack resistance ability are systemic researched, through forming different cementitious material system and different water cement ratio mortar specimens, treating with silane impregnation and then curing to 14d age naturally, and doing sulfate solution wetting-drying test. Results shows that silane impregnation effect is poor when fly ash amount is large or water gel is relatively low. Through XRD microscopic, the improving sulfate attack resistance ability mechanisms are analyzed from aspect of cementations material hydration product; water-binder ratio effect on silane impregnation is explained by water absorption test.

The objective of this research is to determine the physical quality of food media, consisting of small plate, large plate and small bowl. The method used of this research is testing the water absorption and resistance of the food media’s temperature. The process of making a food media using a stainless steel mold which is heated using a food thermometer with 100   and a load of 10 kg as a pressure, then it is printed for 5 minutes with 4 times taking the data for each food media. There are two testing of food media, the first test is water absorption with 29.5  for 125 miles into a small plate, 200 miles into a small bowl and 250 miles into a large plate for 60 minutes, the average value of the water absorption test for the Non-woven food media consists of three forms food medias have 0.00  as the same result, meanwhile woven media such as small plate has 65.00 , large plate has 44.83 and small bowl has 66.68 .  Second test is resistance of the food medias based on temperature parameters. The temperatures used were 40, 60, 80 for non-woven food media consists of three forms food media which had few change after drying, while for woven food media consists three forms of food media had the same results, that is seepage (leaking) in the food media.

This study analyzed the last 20 years` data available on power plant coal ashes used in clay brick production. The statistical analysis has been carried out for a total of 302 cases based on the relevant parameters reported in the literature. The chemical composition of the clays and coal ashes, percentage incorporation and maximum particle size of ash, size of fired samples, peak firing temperature, and the corresponding soaking time were selected as inputs for modeling. The product characteristics i.e. open porosity, water absorption, and compressive strength was taken as output parameters. An artificial neural network model has been developed and showed a satisfactory fit to experimental data and predicted the observed output variables with the overall coefficient of determination (r2) of 0.972 during the training period. Besides, the reduced chi-square, mean bias error, root mean square error, and mean percentage error were utilized to check the correctness of the obtained model, which proved the network generalization capability. The sensitivity analysis of the model suggested that the quantity of Na2O coming from brick clays, the percentages of SiO2 and K2O coming from ashes, and MgO coming from clays were the most influential parameters in descending order for the ash-clay composite bricks` quality, mostly owing to the influence of fluxes during firing.
