| Summary, etc. |
Abaca (Musa textilis) was used as the base material for 70% of the biodegradable<br/>paper for packaging applications. Kapok (Ceiba pentandra) fibers (30%) as the reinforcing<br/>material and chitosan as an additive were added as an antibacterial. Defatting,<br/>delignification, and sheet formation are among the processing techniques used in the study<br/>that were modified from Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry (TAPPI)<br/>methods. Physical characterization showed that the manufactured paper had a moderate<br/>tensile strength of 1.56 MPa and a mean thickness of 0.553 mm, making it Heavyweight<br/>under Non-corrugated Paper Packaging criteria. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)<br/>revealed a smooth fiber surface with a hint of roughness, suggesting successful chemical<br/>treatment, while Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) verified the existence of<br/>cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin components in the composite. For applications<br/>requiring high temperature exposure, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) showed<br/>thermal stability up to about 350°C. Contact angle tests, however, revealed inadequate<br/>hydrophobicity, as water droplets were instantly absorbed. Antimicrobial tests also showed<br/>no zone of inhibition against E. S. coli and S. aureus, most likely because of suboptimal<br/>pH levels and inadequate chitosan content. Although more refinement is required to<br/>improve hydrophobicity and antibacterial qualities, this study offers important new<br/>information for creating eco-friendly substitutes for traditional packaging materials. |
