Abstract
An optimization of the hydrophobic nanocomposite thin film has been carried out. A thin layer of nanocomposites is synthesized from natural minerals, which are a mixture of silica and polyethylene. Synthesis was carried out using 5 hours spinning with High Energy Milling (HEM-E3D). Optimization is done through variations in the composition of silica minerals with polyethylene. Contact angle characterization was performed using the Nikon D5200 Camera. The results of this study are the optimum contact angle obtained in the composition of silica/polyethylene nanocomposites that is 0.2 gram/0.5 gram.
