| Abstraksi | : | Plastics have been used widely for packaging material since long time ago. However, plastic wastes can pollute environment because of its persistency to be biodegraded by microorganism. Efforts have been conducted to develop environmental friendly plastic from renewable resources. Problems encountered in the manufacture of biodegradable plastic are poor physical-mechanical properties and incompatibility between hydrophilic/polar and hydrophobic/non-polar materials. The modification of raw materials and use of compatibilizer were applied to improve the compatibility between the two material blends. The objective of this study was to characterize mechanical, barrier, and biodegrability properties of biodegradable plastic from thermoplastic starch-LLDPE blends. This study consisted of two steps, namely preparation of thermoplastic starch and manufacturing process of biodegradable plastic. The parameters observed included mechanical, barrier, and degradation properties. The results show that increasing thermoplastic starch content decreased mechanical and oxygen transmition rate properties, increased water vapour transmition rate, and its biodegradability. The presence of MA-g-LLDPE compatibilizer resulted in better physical and mechanical properties of biodegradable plastic. |
