Particleboard is a panel product made of wood particles or other lignocellulosic materials added with adhesive then pressed. The development of particleboard manufactured using non wood biomass has become important due to the decreased of wood as main raw material for the particleboard industry. Corn husk (Zea mays L.) and Sembilang bamboo (Dendrocalamus giganteus Munro) are lignocellulosic biomass that has potential as renewable materials for hybrid particleboard. The purposes of this study were to determine the suitability, the effect of adhesive type, and particle composition on physical and mechanical properties of hybrid particleboard made of corn husk and Sembilang bamboo particles. The adhesive types used were urea formaldehyde (UF) and phenol formaldehyde (PF) with 10 wt% adhesive content and the composition of corn husk : Sembilang bamboo was set at 100 : 0, 75 : 25, 50 : 50, 25 : 75, 0 : 100 (% w/w). The target density of hybrid particleboard was set at 0.80 g/cm3. The boards were manufactured at 130 °C for UF and 150 °C for PF press temperature, 10 minutes and 2.5 MPa for the pressure of the hot press. The results showed that hybrid particleboard properties improved with increasing the amount of Sembilang bamboo particles in the board. Hybrid particleboard properties affected in ascending order were modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE), internal bond (IB) and screw holding power (SHP). Generally, hybrid particleboard bonded PF adhesive has better properties than bonded UF adhesive. Results indicated that the addition of Sembilang bamboo particles in the mixture resulted in better properties of hybrid particleboard.

Caulerpa lentillifera or known as sea grapes is a type of green seaweed which is rich of nutritional components and widespread in the tropical regions in Asia, including Indonesia. Moreover, C. lentillifera contains of polysaccharides, such as cellulose which has the potential to various applications. In this study, C. lentillifera collected from Halmahera, Indonesia was determined for its chemical compositions (moisture, ash, extractives, hemicellulose, α-cellulose contents) and was extracted to obtain cellulose. Isolation of cellulose from C. lentillifera was done by soxhlet extracted using ethanol-benzene solvent to remove extractives, boiling to increase the amount of cellulose extracted, H2O2 bleaching to eliminate any remaining pigments and other contaminants, and freeze drying to get coarse powder of cellulose. The moisture content, ash, extractives, hemicellulose, α-cellulose of C. lentillifera were 11.94%, 31.62%, 11.53%, 35.57%, and 7.95%, respectively. The yield of cellulose obtained was 31.13% based on seaweed dry weight. FE-SEM (Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscopy) analysis of C. lentillifera showed colonies of diatoms in elliptical shapes. FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) measurements indicating cellulose purity after extraction process. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis resulted some peaks of salt crystals in C. lentillifera and cellulose of C. lentillifera in amorphous form. After extraction, the crystallinity index of cellulose obtained was 37.3%.

Plastic mulch is a layer of material applied to the soil surface to maintain moisture retention in the soil by preventing evaporation, reduce weed growth by blocking sunlight from reaching underlying weeds, and optimize fertilizer use by minimizing nutrient loss to the environment. However, the degradation of low-density polyethylene (LDPE), a thermoplastic commonly used for mulching, into microplastics due to exposure to UV radiation. This research explored the potential of coconut coir, a natural fiber with a high lignin content ranging from 30 to 46%, as a UV protective agent. The objective was to develop biodegradable plastic-based mulch composites that have better resistance to UV exposure by incorporating coir as a filler material in LDPE-based composites. Different ratios of coconut fiber were used (10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%), and Maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (PE-g-MAH) was used as a binder at 2% of total weight mixed with LDPE in a rheomixer (80 rpm, 120°C for 10 min). The resulting plastic mulch bio-composites were evaluated for thermal, mechanical, UV resistance, and biodegradability properties. The results showed that the higher addition of coconut coir resulted in a decrease in the thermal and mechanical characteristics of the composite. However, the addition of higher coconut coir in the composite at 40% can provide an increase in the composite's resistance to ultraviolet light exposure, and the properties are easily degraded by the environment (biodegradable).
