    The utilization of used polystyrene as adhesive material for emulsion polymer asphalt has been carried out. Polystyrene foam was dissolved in toluene at the ratio of 30:70 mL, then the solution was mixed with aquadest at ratios of 90: 10 mL, 70: 30 mL, 50: 50 mL, 30:70 mL, and 10: 90 mL. Then added with 10 mL of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate solution at concentrations of 10%, 20%, and 30%. The most stable latex polystyrene was mixed with 200 g of sand aggregate at volume ratios of 10 mL, 20 mL, 30 mL, 40 mL, and 50 mL. Then the mixture was pressed into a hotpress at 150ºC for 20 minutes. The mixture obtained was characterized using tensile strength testing, water absorption, and SEM spectroscopy. The results showed that the mixture of sand aggregate with 50 mL latex polystyrene has the best compressive strength and water absorption, at a load of 1606 Kg.f, a stroke of 14.93 mm/minutes, and a water absorption percentage of 18%. The morphology result showed that the surface of sand aggregate with 50 mL of latex polystyrene mixture contains smaller and least holes than the surface of sand aggregate with 10 mL of latex polystyrene mixture

    Asphalt emulsion is a mixture of asphalt (55% - 65%), water (35% - 45%) and emulsifier material (1% - 2%). This research studied the effect of adding surfactant tween 80 (polyoxyethylene sorbitan mono-oleate) on the viscosity and activation energy. The research data was obtained by mixing asphalt, surfactant tween 80, and water and then heated at a certain temperature and viscosity values were measured using a Brookfield Viscosimetre at 500 rpm. The results show that the viscosity and the activation energy increase with the addition of surfactant tween 80: η = -49,82380 cp end Ea = 9,18452154 kJ/mo

    The study is aimed to synthesis chitosan membrane and modification of membrane by additing natural nanozeolite Sarulla by varying the composition of nanozeolite toward the membrane performance. The membrane obtained is determined Flux and selectivity on the separation of ethanol-water mixture by pervaporation. The chitosan used has a degree of deacetylation of 84.7% and Natural Nanozeolite Sarulla (@ZAS) used has a @ZAS aktivated at 400oC for 4 hours and data XRD data showed that the zeolite which usd to resemble modernit. The result of SEM showed that the membrane surface is relatively smooth, homogeneous and fine pores evenly dispersed, while the Ch-@NNS membrane surface looks uneven, heterogeneous and rough surface due the zeolite dispersed.  These results are supported by IR data which showed the occurrence of mixing physical and chemical interactions between chitosan and @ZAS. The performance (flux and selectivity) of membrane (flux and selectivity) generally increases with the addition of  @ZAS composition to the chitosan matrix. The optimum composition membran obtained addition of 0.30 g @ZAS (membrane Ch-@ZAS_4). The laboratoriun scala tests showed that the nano composite membrane chitosan natural zeolite Sarulla, which is synthesized at optimum composition, with the feed etanol at composition of 98% w/w and 65oC, has the highest fermeation flux of water and totality were 0.98 Kg/m2 hour and 1.05 Kg/m2 hour resvectively, while the highest selectivity was 1168. This study has also able to increase the concentration of ethanol to 99.22% (w/w). Keywords: Pervaporation, ethanol-water, nanocomposite membrane, chitosan, natural zeolite Sarulla.

    Abstract. The research has done analysis of thermal properties and solubility test of Cyclic Natural Rubber (CNR) and Cyclic Liquid Natural Rubber (CLNR). Cyclic Liquid Natural Rubber (CLNR) is a cyclical natural rubber which has decreased molecular weight. Synthesis of Cyclic Liquid Natural Rubber (CLNR) do by oxidative degradation after cyclic.  Oxidative degradation after cyclic using Cyclic Natural Rubber (CNR) and phenylhydrazine reagent with flow rate 2 LMin-1 of oxygen atmosphere during 24 hours. Thermal analysis of Cyclic Natural Rubber (CNR) and Cyclic Liquid Natural Rubber (CLNR) by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC),the glass transition temperature (Tg) of Cyclic Natural Rubber (CNR) and Cyclic Liquid Natural Rubber (CLNR) are 102,82  o C and 103,67 o C, the crystal transition temperature (Tc) of Cyclic Natural Rubber (CNR) and Cyclic Liquid Natural Rubber (CLNR) are 362,45 o C and 330,29 o C and the melting transition temperature ( Tm) of Cyclic Natural Rubber (CNR) and Cyclic Liquid Natural Rubber (CLNR) are 509,24 o C and 440,00 o C.

    Research on analysis oxidative degradation and stabilization of cyclic natural rubber (resipren-35) using wax commercial antioxidants, BHT, and Wingstay has been conducted. Properties of physics as a result of treatment of storaging, heating and irradiating by ultraviolet rays was studied. Structural analysis of functional groups was studied using FTIR, thermal properties using DSC and TGA analysis, crystallinity by XRD and test of the solubility and viscosity of cyclic natural rubber (CNR) before and after the occurrence of oxidative degradation. Research results indicate that the analysis of cyclical natural rubber (resipren-35) very easily degraded due to crosslinking and oxidized due to reaction with air (oxygen and ozone) in storaging, heating and irradiating by ultraviolet rays. Antioxidants can inhibit the oxidation degradation rate with the effectiveness is Wingstay> BHT> wax though not very significant. Samples Resipren-35 compared to rubber cyclically-450 Alpex more easily degraded due to differences in the degree of cyclization or the number of C = C double bond in Resipren-35. The measurement results are expected to provide input technologically cyclic preservation of natural rubber products which are resistant to storage, heating and exposure to UV rays.
