| description | The most significant environmental problem was caused by plastic. One way to handle plastic waste was using biodegradable plastic because it faster decomposes naturally. Biodegradable plastic can be made from carrageenan by the hot press method. This method can make biodegradable plastic with large dimensions. However, the plastic quality depended on the holding time, temperature, and pressure selected during the hot pressing process. Therefore, this research is conducted to determine the effect of holding time and temperature in the hot press process on the tensile strength of biodegradable plastic made from carrageenan. The composition of the biodegradable plastic material used was 35% carrageenan, 35% polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and 30% glycerol. In the manufacture of composites, the holding time was varied: 10, 20, 30, and 40 minutes, as well as the process temperature varied from 100, 110, 120, and 130 °C. The tensile strength of the composite was observed through tensile testing using a Universal Testing Machine. FTIR, XRD, and SEM tests were also conducted to sharpen the analysis. The addition of holding time led to an increase in the tensile strength of biodegradable plastics. The highest tensile strength was obtained at a holding time of 30 minutes with a value of 4.45 MPa. After 30 minutes, the tensile strength of the biodegradable composite decreased. Meanwhile, the addition of process temperature caused a decrease in the tensile strength of biodegradable plastics. The highest tensile strength was obtained at a process temperature of 100 °C with a value of 5.28 MPa. |
