No full textAntitermite activities of leaf hexane extract of cat whiskers (Orthosiphon sp.) leaves, ethyl acetate, and ethanol- toluene extracts of pepaya (Carica sp.) leaves were investigated in several concentrations (1, 5, 10, and 15%, weight based) that be impregnated to filter papers againts the dry-wood termites Cryptotermes sp. After impregnation, filter papers were dried into oven at 60 °C for 3 hours, then were tested to termites for 4 weeks. The results showed that treatment concentration could obtain the highest termites mortality level, no weight loss and the lowest damage level. Ethyl acetate extract of papaya leaves exhibited the highest termites mortality (91.2%) at concentration of 10%. This concentration also showed the lowest weight loss (0%) and the highest antifeedant activity (antifeedant coefficient of 100%). Ethyl acetate extract of papaya leaves exhibited the lowest of LC50 value (7844.20 μg ml-1 ). Antitermitic activity showed a trend more repellent than toxic. Fatty acid such as hexadecanoic acid, linolenic acid, octadecanoic acid and steroid compounds that detected by GC-MS were estimated to play a role as antitermite agents. Thus, the application of ethyl acetate extract of papaya leaves at concentration of 10% was recommended to the next experiment by using solid wood impregnation

Aplikasi Serat Kapuk dan Balsa dengan Perlakuan Alkali sebagai Bahan Penguat Komposit (Alkaline Treated-Kapok and Balsa Fibers for Composite Reinforcement)
Get PDFNatural fibers of kapok and balsa can be potential renewable raw material for reinforced polymer composite. Alkaline treatment carried out in the present works was intended to develop the physical and chemical properties of the fibers before its application in reinforced composites preparation. The treatments involve of using NaOH at the concentration of 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10%. The change of morphological characteristics, crystallinity index, functional groups, and water contact angle were analyzed by using SEM, FTIR, XRD and contact angle analyzer, respectively. Upon alkaline treatments, the fibers were clean, flatten, and the surface tended to be rough. Defibrillation occurred at higher alkaline concentration. Alkaline treatment on the fibers shifted and changed the peak absorption intensity of -OH, C-O, C=C and C=O. Up to 8% NaOH concentration, alkaline treatment increased the crystallinity of the fibers, however decreased when the concentration of NaOH reaching 10%. Alkaline treatment on the fibers removed lignin, hemicellulose, and waxy substance of the fiber surface, increased surface roughness, and therefore is expected to create better interfacial adhesion
