STUDI SIFAT FISIK DAN MEKANIK PARENKHIM PELEPAH DAUN KELAPA SAWIT UNTUK PEMANFAATAN SEBAGAI BAHAN ANYAMAN
ABSTRACT: This study explored
the use of parenchyme of palm (Elaeis guinensis Jack) leave sheat as material
for woven craft. Important elements of parenchyme including cellulose,
hemicellulose, lignin, minerals and extracted components, determine its
strength. Mechanical properties studied in this work were density, elastic
modulus, tensile strength, yield strength, tensile stress, deformation, and
elasticity-plasticity. Results showed that in certain size, palm leave sheat
parenchyme can be used to replace bamboo or rattan in woven craft. However,
size of sheat was much larger than that of bamboo or rattan, whilst the fiber
was also too rough. It was also difficult to extract the parenchyme
