Pengaruh Milling terhadap Karakteristik Nanopartikel Biomassa Rotan

The huge availability of rattan biomass is a fiber rich natural resource that resulted from rattan processing. Nanoparticles biomass is selected material with high potential to be further developed and studied as filler composites, which rattan has better mechanical physical properties than synthetic. Thefiber objective of this study is to obtain natural fiber nanoparticles from rattan biomass as a reinforcing material of PP (Polypropylene) using milling method with time variation of 15, 30 and 45 minutes. The result of using milling method with Herzong tool, the optimum milling time ws 30 minutes with an average particle size of 24.35 nm in the range 15:49 24.35 - 48.99 through PSA test equipment, which using the method ofdistribution comulant amount (number), the surface morphology of nanoparticles fiber rattan skin shows the longer time milling, the smaller the particle size, and ACS amounted to 0.9833 Å (0.09833 nm) with a FWHM 0.1557 rad
