Abstract

The purpose of this study was to study and analyze a new composition made from a mixture of natural ingredients such as rice, starch and alcohol polyvinyl (PVA). Rice paddy is part of the grain of rice that is dry, scaly and inedible. The function of rice husk is to protect the inside of rice. In addition, a mixture of rice and starch and mixed together with PVA was used as 8 specimens with various compositions. In order to carry out this experiment, detailed features of paddy seizures and the quantity of rice to be used should be known. This specimen is prepared by placing a mixture of rice husk powder, thermoplastic starch and polyvinyl alcohol into the mold. This experiment that involves in this research is are tensile and impact test. The design of experiment (DOE) method will clarify and verify the properties and characteristics of mechanical that will affect in this experiment. The results of the experimental design will explain and verify the mechanical properties that are influenced by the amount of mixture used throughout the experiment. In the conclusion, the results shows that highest level of thermoplastic starch and followed by rice husk plays an important role in determining the maximum tensile strength
