Recently the Thai industry has continually grown up and also plays a role to economic growth in the country which affects the many of automotive components to be in the market. While the degeneration and waste of automotive components had increased as well. Therefore a car hood is one of the automotive parts which damage from the accident. Consequently the researchers have created a prototype material to develop into the car hood which made from the husk and water hyacinth. The random mixture of water hyacinth and husk was attempted to more than 3 ingredients. By forming a flat plate with thickness between 1 to 3 millimeters was used as prototype of the car hood material in this research. Thus the mechanical properties such as compressing and bending test were attempted to by the universal testing machine. The results showed that using resin as a binder material (Reinforced resin by water hyacinth and husk) will have the less ability of energy absorption. While using polymers as a binder (Polymer resin by water hyacinth and husk) will have the better ability of energy absorption. The properly mixture between water hyacinth and husk referred to the energy absorbing properties is 50:50 because the least linear stiffness is 1.087 N/mm. Besides the ability of energy absorption is 1612444 J/m3 which is property of this ingredient can reduce the severity of the impact in the event of pedestrians collision in the best.

Nowadays an automotive industry steadily has been growing and playing a major role on economy development for many years. The crash box is one of the most important parts for safety but it was found that the crash boxes manufactured domestically are not met international standard requirements. This is due to process and material limitation. This process for automotive safety test requires high budget and there is unclear approach for specific test. Therefore a study of crash boxes referred to energy absorption project was conducted as the alternative materials for product. Consequently this project was aimed to design and test crash boxes which made from the diversity of the alternative materials such as aluminum aluminum reinforced by foam resin reinforced by fiberglass resin reinforced by water hyacinth and resin reinforced by water hyacinth and husk. In addition it was also emphasized in studying energy absorption behavior and physical deformation of crash boxes after dynamic and static energy being applied. The experimental works were applied for these tests in partly referenced to US NCAP and ECE R29 standard for automobile collision test. Testing all types of crash boxes indicated that the aluminum reinforced by foam type was able to absorb energy at 189 MJ/m3. It is higher than resin reinforced by water hyacinth and husk at 1 MJ/m3 as 188 times. Furthermore the comparison of the energy absorption (per unit volume) between the aluminum reinforced by foam type and the steel type from the previous project equivalent 20 MJ/m3 found that it is 8.45 times of difference. While the front impact test was not successful because the size of crash boxes was not suitable for the energy volume. It was a cause for non-available calculation of energy absorption value.

The research proposes to find an optimum ratio of solvent based white ink for flexible package development by studying and comparing the qualification of white ink on plastic film. The process consists of separating the white ink ratio into 5 sampling group ratios and then examining ink quality by its’ solid content and grinding. The viscosity is controlled in 16 second and then measured by Zahn’s cup no. 3. The sampling ink is printed and inspected printing quality by (1) E*ab and opacity on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic film and oriented polypropylene (OPP) and (2) bond strength by extrusion. The result shows that sampling ink with hardener substances and ink and varnish ratio is at 90:10 certifies in all aspects compare with other sample. Indicators are the net present value (NPV) Benefit/Cost Ratio: B/C Ratio Pay Back Period and internal rate of return of investment (IRR). The Feasibility Study found that the projects are the net present value (NPV) of 5053593 baht payback period of 1 year 8 month and rate of return on investment (IRR) was 54.79 %. B/C ratio = 1.25

This research aims to collect and analyze financial data as well as assess financial feasibility and analyze business environment for investment in rice seed production of rice community center in Muang district Phitsanulok. Primary data in financial information used in the study were collected from rice seed center and rice community center. Secondary data were collected from documents and information of both government and private agencies. The research found that rice community center in Muang district Phitsanulok gained rice seed support from the Rice Department for seed production. However there were problems in production management that were not in accordance with rice seed production standard. Therefore the center had to change it operation from manufacturer to be buyers of rice seeds for its members. Financial analysis revealed that in terms of rice seed production cost the total cost per rai was 3800 to 7500 baht depending on the method of rice growing. Income from sale could be classified as sale price per sack (25 kg) at 575 baht per sack and sales price per ton from 11000 to 15000 baht. Analysis of business environment of the community center showed that the existing condition did not support business performance. Thus the possibility of investing in rice seed production was low.
