HDPE with the addition of 0.075% (w/w) of cobalt stearate was printed with a hot press. SEM results showed damage to the membrane surface which had been thermally degradation at 75 °C for 10 days. The TGA results also showed that the film had a weight loss of 75.99%. This decrease in weight indicated that an oxide compound had been formed due to the degradation of HDPE. The oxide compound is a chemical compound containing oxygen. With this oxygen, the degradation process of polyethylene will be easier and faster.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Cobalt stearate,Degradation process,High density polyethylene(HDPE),Membrane surface,Oxide compounds,Weight loss[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]This research partially funded by Laboratory of Material Physical-Chemistry, Institut Teknologi Bandung and USAID through the SHERA program – Centre for Development of Sustainable Region (CDSR).
