Ekstruksi dan karakterisasi filamen komposit Polylactid Acid (PLA) / Carbon Nano Tube (CNT)
Dewasa ini teknologi additive manufacturing (AM) mengalami perkembangan yang pesat. Salah satu metode additive manufacturing yang saat ini populer di berbagai belahan dunia adalah metode fused deposition modelling. Prinsip kerja metode ini adalah dengan cara mengekstrusi material filamen polimer yang meleleh dan sudah melewati temperatur rekristalisasinya melalui sebuah nozzle, kemudian produk akan terbentuk secara lapis demi lapis yang dibentuk melalui gerakan relatif dari meja mesin. Dalam pengaplikasiannya, material filamen dapat dibuat dalam bentuk komposit sehingga diperoleh sifat-sifat unik tertentu sehingga dapat digunakan pada bidang-bidang tertentu. Salah satunya adalah pada bidang kesehatan, sebagai pembuatan implan atau jaringan tubuh dengan memiliki kekuatan yang tinggi dan bersifat biodegradable. Pada penelitian ini, dilakukan pembuatan filamen komposit PLA-CNT dengan metode ekstrusi. Proses ekstrusi dilakukan dengan variasi temperatur 143, 145, dan 147ºC dengan memberi tambahan polyethylene glycol (PEG) sebagai plasticizer untuk meningkatkan fleksibilitas dan workability. Hasil pengamatan dengan scanning electron microscope (SEM) mengindikasikan bahwa proses ekstrusi berjalan kurang stabil karena terdapat tekstur permukaan yang bergelombang. Dari pengujian karakterisasi differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), derajat kristalinitas pada variasi ekstrusi filamen PLA-CNT mengalami peningkatan seiring meningkatnya temperatur ekstrusi. Pada pengujian karakterisasi fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) terdapat perubahan komposisi kimia pada filamen yang signifikan, yang juga sejalan dengan degradasi sifat mekanis. Variasi filamen dengan temperatur ekstrusi 147ºC memiliki nilai kekerasan paling tinggi yaitu sebesar 40,50 MPa
Shale Gas Potential in Telisa Formation, Central Sumatera Basin as a Review to Fulfill Future Energy Demand
These days, world’s energy demand is increasing because of so many factors and at the same time conventional energy resource was decreasing for a last few years. In this situation, shale gas rise and rapidly growth to fulfill world’s energy demand. Shale gas is a natural gas which is trapped within the shale formation because of shale impermeable characteristic. Shale refers to fine grained, laminated, clastic sedimentary rocks that can be rich of organic matters. Focus study in this research is located in Telisa rock formation, Central Sumatera. This research methods used literature study concerning in regional geology including regional stratigraphy, structural geology and geochemistry analysis. Telisa formation has a great potential of shale gas resource. Therefore, it is interesting to discuss about Telisa formation potential of shale gas to alternate conventional energy to fulfill future energy demand.Keywords: energy demand; geochemistry; shale gas; telisa formation; unconventional energ
Geomorphic Analysis in Determining Tectonic Activity Affected by Sumatra Fault in Liwa Region and Its Surrounding Area, Lampung, Indonesia
The study discusses about characteristics of Sumatra Fault and its tectonic activity in Liwa and the adjacent area. The research uses quantitative methods of verification hypothetical deduction, which starts from the general approach, then it pursues into more specialized and focused ones. While the research work includes field measurements, remote sensing with GIS, and geomorphologic analysis using morphometry, such as: sinousity of mountain front (Smf), percentage of facets, ratio of the width and height of the valley (Vf), bifurcation ratios of the river (Rb), drainage density (Dd), shape of the watershed basin area (Bs), hypsometric curves (HI), and gradient index of stream length (SL). Basically, two blocks separated by the Sumatra Fault do not have a significant difference in tectonic activity, but the tectonic activity change can be seen when the studied area is divided into three blocks (northwest, middle, and southeast), then the change in each part can clearly be seen. Apparently, the tectonic activity in the studied area starts from the southeast continues toward the northwest. It is proved by this research, that geomorphological parameters which are associated with mountain fronts and watershed systems demonstrate the value of the activity increases towards the northwest. Hypsometric curves and a river analysis show that the tectonic activity in the northwest is relatively in a young stage, while towards the southeast it is getting in a mature stage
