Abstract

Natural fibers are renewable sources.This is because it is the ideal alternative to replacing synthetic and reinforcing types.In addition,kenaf fiber is a fiber that has low cost,light weight,environmentally friendly and easy production.In fact,the glutinous rice is selected for the natural mixture to have good mechanical properties.Therefore,the purpose of this study is to produce design and analysis related to food packaging. This is because previously food packaging was made of substances that could be harmful to health such as Polystrene.In addition,the purpose of this study was to create new composites between glutinous rice and kenaf fiber.The kenaf and glutinous rice are used in different percentages to obtain suitable composites for making food packaging.To get a sample,cooked glutinous rice is then mixed with fiber according to the percentage that has been made.Samples were taken as 14 samples which included 0%,30%,35%,40%,45%,50% and 55%.The distance between these percentages is made through previous research.The sample is divided into two categories: 1 week and 2/3 days for hardening.This is to obtain a hardening of the sample. After hardening,this sample was tested with a tensile test to determine the modulus of elasticity of the sample.The best sample is 40% which is 2.945 GPA.The best samples are needed in the manufacture of food packaging.
