Abstract
The chemical composition and thermal properties of sago fiber, as processed via liquid smoke treatment, were analyzed in the current study, which is divided into two steps: fiber treatment and chemical property analysis. In the first stage, groups of sago fiber were immersed in the liquid smoke solution for one, two, three, four, and five hours prior to one-hour of drying, while untreated sago fiber was kept as the control specimen. After immersion, each group of sago fiber specimen was identified through SEM-EDS, which indicated that the effect of liquid smoke treatment resulted from escalated thermal stability as well as activation energy (from 213.4 °C and 67.02 kJ/mol to 220.6 °C and 73.43 kJ/mol, respectively). Additionally, a statistical approach depicted improved chemical properties of the treated sago fiber and confirmed the applicability of liquid smoke immersion as an appropriate treatment for sago fiber, prior to their application as reinforced composites.

NTRODUCTIONThere are several direct applications of conventional composites in the form of green composites, such as in sports equipment, building materials, aircraft parts, naval applications, and automobile parts. Natural fibers possess high specific tensile strength, entail low production cost, and have low density along with easy recyclability, all of which makes them attractive alternatives compared to other fiber composites [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [21].
The characteristics of these natural fibers, and hence their utilization, are known to vary as composite reinforcement materials for light load and do not require high strength as compared to composite reinforcing materials for high load applications with superior physical and mechanical properties [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [19], [20]. Commonly, fiber treatment methods are inexpensive and environment friendly. Certain previous studies performed treatment methods such as immersion with solutions (NaOH, KMnO4, H2O2, and seawater), heating
with turmeric solution, and fumigation. However, such types of treatment lead to the formation of specific chemical compositions on each fiber material. Subsequently, the changes that occur should affect the fibers’ physical and mechanical properties.
Previous research asserts that soaking treatment of coco fiber with NaOH reduces lignin levels, while immersing such a fiber with KMnO4 and H2O2 should improve fiber grooves
[5]. Treatment with palm fiber by immersion in seawater provides more chemical compatibility to composite resin. Here, the lignin in the fibers is flushed out, making the fiber surface coarser with better bonds to the matrix [2], [3]. An alternative treatment of turmeric solution on Akaa midrib fiber also increases cellulose composition and lignin content of the fiber, so that the surface morphology becomes coarse and increases fiber strength [7]. Fiber fumigation of a king pineapple leaf is very influential on fiber surface morphology due to changes in chemical composition. It becomes coarser and more grooved, which improves compatibility between epoxy and the fibers [9]. The percentage of crystallinity and thermal stability were also found to be maximal in sisal-g-poly (MA) followed by benzoylated sisal fibers [1]. Some observations indicate that the texture of the treated fiber results from liquid smoke that has transformed the surface into a grooved and rugged surface. So the
bond between fiber and matrix becomes more compact [18].
As one of the studies that are environmentally concerned, this study applied liquid smoke as the solution agent with unique ingredients. Its hydrophilic characteristic contained OH groups including polar compositions with electronegativity, which compounded to fibers to improve fiber composition and strength. This research used sago fiber and immersion in liquid smoke obtained by an enrichment process method. The study expected to reveal changes in the chemical composition and thermal properties of the fibers, and in the end should increase the mechanical properties of the fibers.

From the data in Table 3, the relationship between the content of the elements in SF with the time of treatment can be seen. Test results found that the composition of phosphorus plays an important role in the formation of fiber compounds. Before treatment, the fiber did not contain phosphorus, but after the treatment of P1J-P5J, phosphorus increased to 15.45, 11.32, 9.34, 4.87, and 19.08%, respectively. Meanwhile, the calcium element degraded from 9.22% before treatment to just 0.29% after 1 hour of treatment. After treatment P2J-P5J, no calcium remained in the fiber. This means changes in the chemical
composition of the fiber contributed to changes to the fiber’s physical properties.
B. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) Observation
DSC functions as a Thermal Analyzer and is used to determine the heat and enthalpy capacity of a specimen. It determines the delta H and exothermal area, which affects the heat release process in the glass transition area. From the test results, it was found that the thermal capacity of the fibers with more exothermal areas had more carbon in the fiber. The test results are shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3. Result of DSC – exothermal peak (TP, P1J, P2J, P3J, P4J, dan P5J)
Exothermic events in the TP samples spanned an area of 54.80 to 139.97 degrees, which were onset by exothermic peaks at 102.08 0C and and subsequently burned out. Exothermal areas in the TP sample only occurred once because H2O
levels remained dominant in the fiber and because of the weak bonds of carbon elements.
DSC measurements evaluated the influence of liquid smoke on the latent heat capacity of the SF. The SF without treatment had a latent heat capacity of 102.08-degree Celsius. While treated fiber P1J indicated the latent heat capacity occurred at two areas, the first area decreased to 99.45 0C and the second increased at 364.92 0C. In experiments P1J-P5J, there were two
exothermal areas for each due to the reduction of H and O elements and the increase of the element C’s degree of polymerization (DP) whenever treated with liquid smoke.
The results of Perkin Elmer DSC tests showed that the untreated (TP) and treatment (P1J-P5J) fibers had differences in exothermal area. In fibers without treatment, the exothermal area only occurred once, namely: area = -2236.857 mJ, delta H = -223.6857 J/g, peak = 102.08 0C, and peak height = - 17.7476 mW, at the exothermal temperature starting at 54.80 0C and ending at 139.97 0C. Whereas in fibers with the exothermal treatment area it occurs in 2 areas, as shown in the following Table 4.

ONCLUSION1. There are changes in proportion of chemical composition of each treatments, indicating chemical reactions of liquid smoke compounds to the sago fiber.
2. Changes in exothermic and endothermal areas in fibers for each treatment show that the reactions between liquid smoke and sago fibers formed strong chemical bonds that affect the element of fiber compounds, which ended in changes of the physical and mechanical properties of the fiber.
3. The thermal stability and activation energy of the SF improved from 213.4 °C to 220.6 °C and 67.02 kJ/mol to 73.43 kJ/mol, respectively, due to liquid smoke treatment.
