Abstract
Naturally-derived synthetic leather is a widely used and high-quality type of faux leather or synthetic leather. Many consumers prefer authentic leather goods due to their exceptional qualities, including high water vapor permeability and superior wearing comfort. Consequently, the exploration of artificial leather made from natural materials with exceptional qualities as an alternative to genuine leather has garnered significant interest and is now a highly studied subject. Synthetic leather, sometimes known as imitation leather, has gained popularity recently as a highly suitable alternative to genuine leather. Continuous advances in this area of research increase the range of uses for synthetic leather using natural fibers. Thus, this research aims to explore synthetic leather materials using orange peel waste, which can be applied to the fashion industry. This research applies several types of orange peel waste, such as Pomelo, Sweet orange, and Sunkist orange, to different compositions and strengthening materials, such as bandages and dacron. The resulting bio-composite materials' morphology, mechanics, and adhesive properties were evaluated following ASTM D 2209-00 and ASTM D 4533-04 standards. The results indicate that specimen 1A (Pomelo using bandage as reinforcement) has the most significant effects, with a tensile test value of approximately 472 N/cm2, an elongation of roughly 67.28 % was the highest value on sweet orange using bandage as reinforcement, and a tear resistance of around 14.28 N/cm2 for Pomelo with bandage as reinforcement. Furthermore, the test results also show that composition 2B still does not meet the standards of SNI 1294:2009 and ISO 3376 for tensile strength and ISO 3377-1 for tear strength. Additionally, statistical analysis showed no appreciable changes in the samples analyzed. Furthermore, statistical evaluations showed no significant alterations in the studied samples. The results of this experimental investigation can be explored further and used as a basic framework for the creation of bio-composites from orange peel waste for future fashion.
