Abstrakt: This work aims to study the influences of Nias Indonesia's cacao pod husk cellulose derivative on biopolymer blend host characteristics containing methylcellulose (MC) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). MC as a polymer host needs to be improved through its blending with the CMC of Nias' cacao pod husk. The blend membranes preparation was conducted by using the casting solution technique at ambient temperature. The characterizations of functional group analysis, ionic conductivity, and mechanical analysis were examined using Fourier Transform Infra-red, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and tensile tester. A composition of MC/CMC (50/50) was the highest conductivity of 5.85 x 10−3 S cm−1, while MC/CMC (80/20) was the highest tensile strength of 46.19 MPa with elongation at break of 23.58%. Both of the compositions are outstanding polymer hosts for storage energy materials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
