Abstract

A laser processing strategy is presented for the high-concentration synthesis of ligand-free Au, Ag, and Au–Ag alloy nanoparticles. Monometallic Au and Ag nanoparticles were first synthesized independently by nanosecond pulsed laser ablation in liquid (PLAL), producing stable ligand-free colloids. The Au and Ag colloids were then mixed in an equimolar ratio and irradiated with femtosecond laser pulses to induce alloy formation without chemical stabilizers or reducing agents. Ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) spectroscopy shows a single localized surface plasmon resonance peak that shifts from 400 nm (Ag) to 509 nm (Au), with the Au–Ag alloy peak located between the two, confirming alloy formation. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) reveals spherical Au, Au–Ag alloy, and Ag nanoparticles with average diameters of 11.8 ± 8.1 nm, 18.8 ± 5.9 nm, and 20.3 ± 9.4 nm, respectively, with the alloy nanoparticles exhibiting a narrower size distribution. Zeta potential measurements of −36.4, −41.2, and −48.1 mV for Ag, Au, and Au–Ag nanoparticles indicate good colloidal stability, with the alloy nanoparticles showing the highest stability. This laser-based approach provides a chemical-free route for producing high-concentration noble metal and alloy nanoparticles with tunable plasmonic and colloidal properties.

Abstract

  Conventional building materials are energy-intensive and generate substantial waste, motivating the valorization of agricultural by products into sustainable acoustic materials. This study developed an acoustic panel from Coconut Fiber (CF) and Spent Coffee Grounds (SCG) bound with a cassava starch-based adhesive, with SCG incorporated at 0%, 15%, and 30% (samples A1, A2, and A3, respectively). SCG addition increased panel density from 208.9 kg/m3 (A1) to 247.5 and 268.7 kg/m3 for A2 and A3. Tensile testing showed that SCG reduced the maximum stress while increasing the Young's modulus, indicating a trade-off between ductility and stiffness. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that SCG particles bridged the coconut fiber network, altering the pore structure and air-flow resistivity. Sound absorption coefficients measured across 250-5000 Hz using the impedance tube method showed that A2 (85% CF, 15% SCG) achieved the best overall performance, reaching coefficients of 0.86 at 500 Hz and 0.69 at 250 Hz and outperforming A1 and A3, particularly at low-to-mid frequencies. Excessive SCG in A3 reduced absorption due to increased density and reduced porosity. These findings demonstrate that CF-SCG composite panels are a promising, low-cost, biobased alternative to conventional acoustic materials and SCG for balancing sound absorption performance with sustainable resource valorization.

Abstract

Distillation time can affect the extraction of essential oils such as the rhizome of temu hitam (Curcuma aeruginosa) which has been shown to have antibacterial activity. Therefore, this study aims to determine the optimum distillation time to produce temu hitam rhizome oil with the strongest antibacterial activity. The rhizomes of temu hitam were steam distilled with different length of time every 30 minutes for 4 hours to obtain essential oil and determined the compounds contained in them using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Antibacterial activity was determined by disc diffusion against Streptococcus mutans, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus. The most dominant compounds present in essential oils are eucalyptol (34.89%), epicurzerenone (20.58%), and camphor (16.90%) based on the average peak of the total distillation time. The strongest antibacterial potency was obtained in the first 30 minutes of distillation for S. mutans and E. coli, and in the seventh 30 minutes of distillation for S. aureus.
