Abstract

Plastic waste poses a significant environmental challenge due to its non-biodegradable nature, emphasizing the need for sustainable alternatives like bioplastics from natural resources. This study develops and characterizes bioplastic films made from carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) derived from bacterial cellulose synthesized using pineapple biowaste. Pineapple waste underwent fermentation to produce bacterial cellulose, which was chemically modified into CMC. Films were fabricated using CMC solutions with varying glycerol concentrations (0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, and 2.5% v/v). Characterization techniques, including SEM, XRD, FTIR, TGA, mechanical testing, and antibacterial assays, revealed that increasing glycerol concentrations smoothed the film's cross-sectional morphology, reduced crystallinity, and altered functional groups (e.g., new peaks at 870 cm⁻¹ and 935 cm⁻¹ attributed to C–H deformation). TGA indicated a four-stage thermal degradation pattern, with mass loss increasing from 77.2% to 88.4% at 2.5% glycerol, reflecting enhanced plasticization. Mechanical testing showed that the highest glycerol concentration increased film flexibility by 40.7 times while reducing tensile strength by 89.7%. Antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus also improved with glycerol content. These results demonstrate the potential of CMC-based bioplastic films as sustainable packaging materials, offering customizable properties and promoting the value-added use of agricultural waste.

Abstract

Electrodeposition is one of the carbon capture methods used to produce carbon nanotubes with temperature as one of the variable. The research aims to analyze the effect of temperature on the growth rate of carbon nanotubes of 723oC, 750oC, 800oC, 850oC and 900oC using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) testing. Analyzing deposit morphology at the same temperature using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) testing. The results of research show that the most optimal growth rate for carbon nanotubes occurred at 750oC of 7,949 g cm-2 hours-1. At a temperature of 750oC, carbon deposits are easier than at 723oC because that’s the melting point of lithium carbonate and has not completely decomposed. The XRD test show that at 750oC is the highest peak at 2θ= 26.21o. The SEM test show that the optimal morphological structure formed occurs at a temperature variation of 750oC with a fibrous morphology and little impurity at the ends. The results of the CNT percentage using the Material Analysis Using Diffraction (MAUD) method show that the largest quantitative value of the CNT percentage occurs at a temperature of 800oC of 4.08%.

Abstract

The growing environmental concerns associated with synthetic fibers have led to the increased adoption of bio-fibers as reinforcements in polymer composites. Sodium chloride (NaCl) is explored as a fiber treatment agent to enhance the adhesion between fibers and the matrix. The study aims to evaluate the effects of NaCl treatment on the characteristics of sisal fiber-epoxy composite boards. A completely randomized design was applied with three factors: treatment temperature (25 °C and 100 °C), NaCl concentration (1, 3, and 5 wt%), and composite board density (0.40, 0.60, and 0.80 g/cm³). Sisal fibers were soaked in NaCl solutions for one hour, rinsed, dried, and manually blended with epoxy at a ratio of 80:20 wt%. Composite board properties were observed according to the standards of JIS-A-5908, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Results indicated that increasing the NaCl concentration and treatment temperature significantly improved the properties of the composite board. The optimal parameters (5wt% NaCl, 100 °C, 0.80g/cm³) yielded a modulus of elasticity of 4.59±0.26 GPa, modulus of rupture of 18.88±0.03 MPa, and internal bond strength of 3.92±0.18 MPa, representing increases of 200.32%, 130.65%, and 218.70%, respectively. Thickness swelling decreased to 2.13±0.43% (48.14%) and water absorption to 8.95±0.05% (32.25%). These findings confirm that NaCl treatment is an eco-friendly method to enhance the mechanical strength and moisture resistance of biofiber composites. It also supports the development of high-performance composite boards.

Abstract

Utilization of pineapple biowaste is important to increase the value added to biowaste and solve the environmental problem. So, the study objective is to synthesize membranes of bacterial cellulose made from pineapple biowaste and characterize the surface morphology and porosity of the membrane after being added with ZnO nanopowder. The study starts with extracting biowaste as a bacterial cellulose culture medium for the fermentation process. The obtained pellicle was crushed and homogenized with the added ZnO nanopowder in the presence of ultrasonic waves. The membrane is dried in the oven. The membrane morphology was monitored using scanning electron microscope and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis. Results indicate that surface morphology more rougher in line with increasing ZnO nanopowder content. The control membrane exhibits the highest surface area (36.9605 m²/g) due to its uninterrupted porous network. The addition of ZnO nanopowder at 2.5% significantly reduces the surface area to 2.9168 m²/g, likely due to nanoparticle-induced pore obstruction. As the ZnO nanopowder concentration increases to 5% and 7.5%, the specific surface area rises to 8.0436 m²/g and 13.7783 m²/g, respectively. This trend suggests that higher ZnO nanopowder loading enhances porosity and introduces additional adsorption sites. The control BC membrane exhibits the highest pore volume and well-defined mesoporosity, which are diminished upon the initial addition of ZnO nanopowder.

Abstract

Maintaining railway track geometry integrity is essential to ensuring transportation safety and predictive maintenance. Conventional manual inspection methods are limited by low sampling frequency, subjective interpretation, and delayed anomaly detection. This study introduces a real-time, embedded monitoring system using VL53L0X infrared laser sensors and an MPU6050 IMU to measure gauge, cross-level height, and inclination. Sensors are mounted on a lightweight aluminum trolley and sampled every 0.5 seconds using an Arduino-based platform. A Kalman Filter reduces measurement noise, with tuned covariance matrices based on field calibration. Filtered outputs are clustered via K-Means (K = 2), validated by the Elbow Method and Silhouette Score (>0.6). Maintenance categories are assigned through a fuzzy logic system, with a ±1 mm sensitivity analysis confirming >85% decision stability. Field results demonstrate a measurement noise, achieving RMSE and MAE values of 0.8165 mm and 0.3175 mm for gauge and height, and 0.3086° and 0.0952° for inclination, respectively and a SNR gain from 0.5 dB to 21.7 dB. The low-cost, modular setup supports scalable, condition-based maintenance and demonstrates robustness in noisy environments. This approach offers a practical foundation for future integration with predictive analytics and digital twin technologies in smart rail infrastructure.
