Abstract
Titanate Ribbon (Na2Ti3O7) used in ABS plastic was synthesized to study the mechanical properties and to conduct test on the E-coli bacteria inhibition performance. The polymer blends of ABS/Na2Ti3O7 by Na2Ti3O7, was synthesized through alkaline hydrothermal reaction with 0.5 grams of titanium dioxide as a precursor with 20 ml. of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) at the concentration of 10 molar under the alkalinity at 200°c for 24 hours. The study on the microstructure by scanning electron microscope revealed that the Layered structure was shaped as a complete ribbon. The mechanical testing activities on the E-coli bacteria inhibition polymer mixed ABS/Na2Ti3O7; it was found that the mechanical properties for ABS/Na2Ti3O7, The results showed that tensile modulus and tensile strength of blending Na2Ti3O7 at 0.5 %wt was the highest. The result showed that E.coli could reduce up to 66.01%.
