EPrints Repository UNTIRTAOPTIMASI PARAMETER CURING TERHADAP PERFORMA KOMPOSIT PAPAN PARTIKEL BERBAHAN DASAR SEKAM PADIABIYYU FARIDHABIBIauthorRice husks are a material that is still considered waste and its use is still small. It is hoped that the use of husks can be a substitute for wood, which still dominates the manufacture of particle boards. Particleboard made from husks can be a substitute for wood where demand for wood on the market is still quite high. The substitution of wood with particle board is expected to reduce the high use of wood for structural and non-structural needs. This research was conducted to find out the correct optimization of curing parameters so that particle board made from rice husks becomes the right choice as an alternative to particle board made from wood. The research was carried out by finding out the mechanical and physical properties of particle board made from rice husks with different curing parameters. The curing parameters used are temperatures of 70 and 150 degrees Celsius and times of 1 and 3 hours. The specimens were tested via FTIR test, physical tests in the form of density and thickness expansion, as well as mechanical tests in the form of flexibility and hardness. The research results show that curing parameters have a large influence on the mechanical and physical properties of particle board. In physical testing, it can be seen in water absorption testing that specimens cured for a longer time have better dimensional stability. The hardness test shows that increasing the curing temperature reduces the hardness value of the board, while the bending test results show that the flexural strength increases at high temperatures, but decreases at too long a curing time. The highest flexural modulus and strain were obtained in specimens cured at 70 °C for 3 hours, indicating more ductile and elastic material properties.TJ Mechanical engineering and machinery2026-01-15Fakultas Teknik Universitas Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa;Teknik MesinThesis
