Abstract

Chitosan-HPMC-methylparaben hydrogel film has been successfully synthesized. Chitosan, a key component with desirable characteristics for the production of hydrogel films, has some shortcomings that can be overcome by adding HPMC, a commonly used gelling agent that improves the physical properties of hydrogel films, and methylparaben, which enhances mechanical properties and antibacterial activity. The physical properties test of the hydrogel film, i.e., the solubility and swelling test, showed that the addition of HPMC reduced the solubility ratio and increased the swelling ratio in the chitosan hydrogel film. The addition of methylparaben relatively increases the antibacterial activity, tensile strength, and elongation of chitosan-HPMC-methylparaben hydrogel films. The chitosan-HPMC-methylparaben dry film exhibits a tensile strength of 19.56 MPa and an elongation of 1.98%. Surface morphological characterization of the hydrogel film through SEM tests showed that the chitosan-HPMC-methylparaben hydrogel film has granules on its surface, whereas the chitosan-HPMC hydrogel film has a smooth texture with a flat surface. The addition of methylparaben reduces the degree of crystallinity and produces an amorphous phase. The chitosan-HPMC-methylparaben hydrogel film shows strong activity against S. aureus and E. coli. Based on these results, the hydrogel film can be considered an antibacterial material for wound dressings, although elongation still needs to be improved.

Abstract

This study developed nanofibers derived from sugar palm fiber waste, incorporating citric acid and polyethylene glycol (PEG) modifications to adsorb crystal violet (CV) dye. The synthesis process involved alkalization-acid hydrolysis and bleaching techniques. Subsequent analyses of nanofiber characteristics were conducted using Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX). The efficacy of these modified nanofibers in adsorbing CV was quantitatively measured using an Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer. The study successfully synthesized nanofibers from sugar palm fiber waste with modifications: PEG-modified nanofibers (NP 2 and NP 24) and citric acid-modified nanofibers (NS 2 and NS 24). These modifications resulted in nanofibers with a smooth, white texture. FTIR analysis of the samples (N, NP 2, NP 24, NS 2, and NS 24) revealed the presence of functional groups essential for cellulose, specifically -OH, C-H, and C-O groups. The addition of citric acid introduced a new group, C=O, albeit with very weak intensity. PEG modifications were evident from the stretching observed in the -OH groups. SEM analysis confirmed the presence of a layer on the nanofibers, attributed to citric acid (NS 2 and NS 24) and PEG (NP 2 and NP 24). XRD results indicated that the pre-and post-modification nanofibers exhibited a semi-crystalline phase. The adsorption mechanism was predominantly guided by Van der Waals electrostatic interactions between the absorbent material and the adsorbate. Intriguingly, the citric acid and PEG modifications did not significantly alter the adsorption outcomes. The adsorption capacity remained stable over time, as evidenced by measurements of 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 minutes.

Abstract

In this study, a sustainable mesoporous silica material was synthesized using gelatin as a co-template (GSBA-15), followed by the incorporation of iron oxide (Fe₂O₃) to enhance its adsorption performance toward methylene blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO). Tamarindus indica pulp extract (TIE) was employed as a natural and environmentally benign activating agent, providing organic functionalities that facilitated material synthesis and surface modification. The adsorption performance of the synthesized materials, namely GSBA-15 and Fe₂O₃/GSBA-15-TIE, was evaluated using UV–Vis spectrophotometry. Under optimal adsorption conditions, the maximum adsorption capacities for MB were 176.062 and 183.497 mg.g⁻¹ for GSBA-15 and Fe₂O₃/GSBA-15-TIE, respectively. For MO, the corresponding adsorption capacities were 15.582 and 16.000 mg.g⁻¹. Kinetic studies revealed that the adsorption of both dyes was best described by the pseudo-second-order model, suggesting that chemisorption played a dominant role in the adsorption process. The enhanced adsorption performance of Fe₂O₃/GSBA-15-TIE compared with pristine GSBA-15 demonstrates the beneficial effects of iron oxide incorporation and TIE activation. These findings highlight the potential of Fe₂O₃/GSBA-15-TIE as a sustainable and efficient adsorbent for dye removal in wastewater treatment applications.

Abstract

This descriptive research aims to explain the scope of scientific literacy in chemistry textbooks used in Surakarta. This research data are in the form of quantity from 4 categories of scientific literacy with 26 subcategories as indicators of grouping text units in textbook analysis. The data sources in this study were five textbooks for class XI with different publishers. The technique of taking the object of research uses a purposive sampling technique. Based on the results of data analysis based on the category of scientific literacy, the average results of the proportion of scientific literacy are obtained as follows: (1) Science as a body of knowledge was 69.98% (2 ) Science as a way of an investigation by 14.43% (3) Science as a way of thinking by 10.63% (4) Interaction of science with technology and society by 4.98%. The results of the fulfilment of the scientific literacy category in book A have a ratio of the category of science as knowledge: science as a way of investigation: interaction of science, technology, and society: category of science as a way of thinking that is 9:1:1:1. The ratio in book B is 6:2:0:1, the ratio in book C is 4:2:0:1, the ratio in book D is 9:0:0:1, and the ratio in book E is 6:2:1: 1. Therefore, from the results of this study, the recommended textbook for use is the book E because it includes aspects of scientific literacy that are complete and more balanced than the other four books.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of the textile industry, driven by technological progress, has resulted in substantial dye pollution, particularly from methylene blue effluents, which remain highly recalcitrant in aquatic environments. Photocatalysis offers a sustainable and effective pathway for dye degradation, and in this study, Ti–V–Mn ternary photocatalysts were synthesized using a 20% gelatine-modified mesoporous silica hard template. Comprehensive characterization was carried out to establish the relationship between structural and optical properties and photocatalytic performance. XRD revealed that the G–Ti–Mn sample exhibited the highest crystallinity (19.62%), while SEM–EDX confirmed the uniform distribution of all metal precursors. FTIR spectra displayed characteristic M–O vibrations corresponding to Ti–O, V–O, and Mn–O bonding, and UV–Vis DRS showed reduced band gap energies in the range of 1.005–2.39 eV, favoring visible-light activation. BET analysis indicated a typical type IV isotherm, with the G–V–Mn sample exhibiting the highest surface area of 106.67 m²/g and pore diameters of 3.74–4.94 nm, confirming the mesoporous nature of the materials. Photocatalytic evaluation demonstrated that the G–V–Mn system achieved the highest degradation efficiency, removing up to 67.83% of methylene blue under UV–Vis irradiation. These findings highlight the potential of gelatine-assisted mesoporous templates in engineering ternary metal photocatalysts with enhanced structural and optical features for sustainable wastewater treatment applications.
