Abstract

Of many compounds materials, metallic biomaterial is widely used in human medical devices. An implant material's corrosion resistance impacts its flexibility and longevity. This corrosion resistance is also an important consideration for biocompatibility. This biomaterial contains stainless steel whcih may corrode after being installed in the human body since  the passivity of stainless steel disappears when it is exposed to acids in the human body for a long duration. In addition, lacks of oxygen inhibits the formation of a new Cr2O3 layer for corrosion protection. Based on this phenomenon, an advance treatment is required to improve the resistance corrosion of implant. This study investigates the effect of the concentration and duration of chitosan on the thickness and corrosion resistance of biomaterials. The concentration of chitosan used was 0.08%, 0.16%, and 0.24% while the voltage used was constant at 10 V. The test results demonstrated the lowest corrosion rate occrured for 0.24 % chitosan concentration with 30 minutes coating duration. The lowest corrosion rate achieved was 0.014 mmpy and the maximum thickness was 75.4 μm. This study could be then used as a new solution to increase the safety of existing implants using biodegradable and non-toxic compounds. The next experiment should be implantation in real human body.

Abstract

Workload is crucial in managing and maintaining good performance of human resources and allocations. In an advanced manufacturing industry, human job functions had shifted to cognitive tasks. Thus, cognitive workload evaluation should be used to monitor worker’s workload in optimal condition. Most common tool of cognitive workload tools are perceived measurement, like NASA – TLX questionnaire. Despite of its sensitivity to capture workload felt by the workers, this subjective measurement was prone to bias. Objective measurement utilizing biometrics data of the human body during working state was useful to eliminate bias. Cardiac biometrics were one of the many that were closely related to mental activity changes. The objective of this study was to understand the relationship of cardiac biometrics to perceived workload as an indicator of cognitive workload analysis. The study utilized four biometrics, heart rate, HRV low frequency power, total frequency power and ratio of low and high frequency power, were used to analyzed a one hour long cognitive based study case. The study case was designed in a manufacturing planning context referring to manufacturing aptitude tests, to induce cognition process on 30 participants. The biometrics and NASA – TLX score result of all the participants, were then calculated as effect size standardization before input into random forest regressor model to analyze relationship between cardiac biometrics and perceived workload. The result found a moderate relationship between the two (r2 = 0.576). Features importance also showed the most impactful feature to the model is the effect size of frequency power ratio. However, it is recommended to always consider evaluating multiple cardiac biometrics in workload analysis to ensure good model performance.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the influence of immersing Petung Bamboo in a NaOH solution on the tensile strength (TS) of composites containing an epoxy matrix. Petung Bamboo Webbing was given 0%, 3%, 6% and 9%, soaking treatment. The Composite utilised in this investigation was fabricated by the Vacuum Assisted Resin Infusion technique. Tensile testing of composites is conducted according to the ASTM D638-1 standard. The findings indicated a positive correlation between the concentration of NaOH immersion and the adhesion between the woven surface of Petung Bamboo and the matrix. Consequently, the TS of the Composite was enhanced. However, increasing the concentrations beyond a certain point leads to more degradation of the lignin and cellulose in the fibers, resulting in a loss in the strength of the composite. The Petung Bamboo woven reinforced Composite achieved the highest TS of 136.06 MPa after being treated with a 6% NaOH immersion. This was followed by a 3% NaOH immersion treatment resulting in a TS of 106.04 MPa. Without any NaOH immersion treatment, the composite had a TS of 97.31 MPa. The lowest TS of the composite was observed after a 9% NaOH immersion treatment, measuring 90.79 MPa. The Petung Bamboo wicker-reinforced composite with NaOH immersion treatment showed higher fiber pullout and fiber-matrix debonding failures, while higher NaOH treatment concentration reduced these failures.

Abstract

This study investigates the extraction and characterization of Cellulose Nanofibrils (CNFs) from Oil Palm Frond Fibers (OPFFs) using a combined chemical and mechanical treatment approach. Alkali treatment and bleaching effectively removed non-cellulosic components, increasing the Crystallinity Index (CI) from 58.75% in untreated OPFFs to 73.09% in Chemically Treated Microfibrillated cellulose (CMFs). Subsequent ultrafine grinding further enhanced the CI to 81.93%, demonstrating high purity and improved structural integrity. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) revealed enhanced thermal stability, with the maximum degradation temperature rising from 286°C in OPFFs to 339°C in CNFs. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the retention of the cellulose of crystalline structure after all treatments. The novelty of this study lies in the systematic valorization of oil palm frond fibers, an abundant agricultural waste in Indonesia, through an integrated chemical-mechanical process to produce high-performance nanocellulose. These findings demonstrated that OPF-derived CNFs possess superior structural and thermal properties, making them strong candidates for reinforcing eco-friendly polymer composites in sustainable material applications

Abstract

The demand for sustainable and high-performance composite materials has driven extensive research on natural fiber reinforcements, including sisal fiber, to enhance their mechanical and thermal properties. However, the inherent hydrophilicity and weak interfacial adhesion of sisal fibers limit their effectiveness in composite applications. In this study, untreated and alkali-treated sisal fibers were characterized using tensile testing, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results showed that alkali treatment reduced tensile strength from 2080 MPa to 1142.1 MPa but slightly increased elongation at break from 2.5% to 2.9%, while XRD analysis indicated a higher crystallinity index, and TGA confirmed improved thermal stability with an increased decomposition temperature from 220°C to 260°C. These findings provide valuable insights into optimizing sisal fiber treatment for enhanced fiber-matrix interactions, contributing to the development of more durable and sustainable natural fiber composites.

Abstract

TPST BMR “MANDIRI” is a centralized waste disposal site in Bumi Mondoroko Raya Housing. Until now, this TPST only functions as a temporary shelter. The waste that enters this TPST will be sorted into plastic waste and organic waste. Organic waste will be put into a container that will be picked up regularly by the environmental service. One of the main problems of this TPST is the volume of the container. The longer the organic waste that enters the more so that the available containers cannot accommodate it. So a way is needed to overcome this problem. The solution offered is the manufacture of an organic waste chopping machine, especially vegetables. The hope is that with this machine, the volume of containers for organic waste can be reduced and the chopped vegetables can be used for the fertilizer making process. Where the sale of this organic fertilizer can increase the income of this TPST. The output target of this community service activity is the making of a organic material chopping machine with a certain capacity.
