Abstract:
This research aimed to study 1. Physical characteristics of the betel palm. 2. In order to develop a sustainable utilization process from the betel palm. 3. To design textile products by sustainable use from the betel palm. 4.To evaluate the satisfaction of consumers with textile products from sustainable use from the betel palm sample groups is expert in cultivation. Expert in textile product design and consumers to evaluating satisfaction with textile products from sustainable use from betel palm find out betel palm is a perennial plant with a single stem, not clumping, growing in height. For the process of separating cellulose fibers from stalks and betel nut with the method of bringing the betel nut to experiment with plain water, acetic acid and sodium hydroxide. Chemically reacting with cellulose fibers in a straight color Natural white Fiber is not easily broken. The fibers from the betel nut have a pulling force of 37.62 newton.
The research found that testing the transformation process of Kab Mak. Therefore bringing cellulose fibers fermented with water into the fabric weaving process using fiber material. With beautiful natural colors. Design and select the 3 suitcase styles that are suitable for evaluation by experts. There is a consistent opinion that. Textile products by making sustainable use from the betel nut. Document bag set
mailbag and portable bag. Which is made from black leather material in the form 1 is most appropriate.
The assessment results assess the satisfaction of the consumer groups towards textile products from sustainable use from the Mak tree. Found that the overall satisfaction was at a high level (x̄ = 4.44, S.D. = 0.19)
