Bioplastic composite material was developed from polylactic acid used as basic polymer and microalgae. Two types of biomaterials were prepared based on the proportion microalgae acid. The mass ratios set to 5:95 10:90. First, spirulina chosen initial then a mixed culture community biogas digestate treatment. aim research study characteristics materials in order determine whether algal biomass c...

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are a family of biopolyesters synthesized by many types of bacteria as carbon and energy reserve materials. PHAs combine properties of thermal processibility, biodegradability, biocompatibility and sustainability. They have attracted attention from fermentation, materials and biomedical industries. Recent environmental concerns such as CO(2) emissions and plastic po...

Twice in the history of this Society have our presidents directed the attention of its members to the influence of germs in the production of disease. Our first president, Dr. Brittan, in the year 1874, propounded, illustrated, and illuminated this question: first, from what we know of diseased blood, and of the " blood diseases;" secondly, from what we know of the blood-germs, and bioplastic m...

Betel nut husk fiber has a reasonably high cellulose content. Meanwhile, bioplastics nowadays are mostly made of Poly Vinyl Alcohol (PVA), with one its limitations being tensile strength and other properties regarding mechanical. Thus, this study aims to isolate microcellulose from areca use the as filler in bioplastic, where is combined PVA. The intention understand effect adding betel fibers ...

The marvellous and versatile properties of synthetic plastics make them an indispensable part human lives. But in the recent years, plastic pollution has become biggest environmental concern for whole world globally. Environmental distress over associated with a rising debate fossil fuel dependence abatement have brought attention researchers towards finding suitable alternative to i.e., biopla...

The massive increase in palm oil production Indonesia has created problems the large volume of processing waste that must be managed. One efforts made to reduce this impact is by reusing empty fruit bunches as a material for making bioplastics. This bioplastic then used improve soil bearing capacity increasing CBR (California Bearing Ratio) value expansive clay soils. effectiveness use bioplast...
