Abstract

The increase in cases of global environmental pollution due to plastic waste makes the development of biodegradable active packaging very urgent. Gelatin (G), is one of the potential edible film raw materials. However, its weak water barrier and mechanical properties have limited its wide application. The addition of chitosan nanofiber (CHNF) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONP) is expected to improve the mechanical and barrier properties and present antioxidant and antimicrobial properties to the G film. Characterization results using FTIR, SEM, and DSC showed good compatibility between the G, CHNF, and ZnONP matrix. Meanwhile, the packaging test results confirmed that gelatin, CHNF, and ZnONP-based composite films have the potential to be used as functional materials in food packaging.

Abstract

Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) membranes were modified with quaternized graphene oxide (QGO) synthesized from graphene oxide and quaternized ammonium groups. PVDF/QGO membranes were created by blending PVDF and 0.01-0.05 g QGO via phase inversion. FTIR confirmed the successful QGO incorporation. PVDF/QGO membranes exhibited increased mechanical stiffness. Meanwhile, SEM revealed asymmetric morphology with surface and internal pores. AFM showed the membrane with 0.05 g and QGO had the highest surface roughness of 101.2 nm, which increased filtration area and flux. QGO improved hydrophilicity through hydroxyl and quaternary ammonium groups, enhancing water flux up to 1208 Lm?2h?1 for 0.05 g QGO. Cu2+ rejection increased to 75% for 0.05 g QGO membrane due to chelation and adsorption effects. PVDF/QGO membranes displayed bacterial growth inhibition, unlike pristine PVDF. The inhibition zone diameter increased with more QGO, indicating improved antibacterial activity. Overall, this study demonstrated that QGO improved PVDF membranes' hydrophilicity, antibacterial properties, and mechanical strength.

Abstract

This research explored the modified polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanofiber membranes with a composite of layered double hydroxide (LDH) and graphene oxide (GO) to enhance biofouling resistance. The PVDF/LDH-GO nanocomposite membranes were synthesized via vacuum filtration. FTIR analysis confirmed nanocomposite formation with new peaks indicating the presence of GO and LDH. Variations in the LDH:GO ratio affected the physical, mechanical, and performance properties of the membranes. Based on SEM imaging, the 1:1 LDH: GO ratio exhibited the highest Young's modulus and smallest pore sizes. LDH-GO incorporation increased the mechanical strength, porosity, roughness, hydrophilicity, and pure water permeability of the PVDF membranes. The combination of these factors led to balanced permeability and selectivity values towards Cu2+ solution feeds. LDH-GO was proven effective in modifying the PVDF membrane surface for water treatment and inhibiting biofouling up to 64% against E. coli.

Abstract

This comprehensive research has explored the potential of enhancing dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) by harnessing environmentally friendly natural dyes, such as chlorophyll pigments from pandanus (664.1 nm) and papaya leaves (664.0 nm), as well as betacyanin pigments from sappan-mangosteen (536.2 nm). Electrochemical analyses elucidated the energy band gaps, revealing a hierarchy with the smallest band gap observed for papaya leaves (1.387 eV), followed closely by sappan-mangosteen (1.389 eV) and pandan leaves (1.396 eV). This research effectively addressed the persistent issue of electrolyte leakage in DSSC development by introducing a polymer electrolyte derived from polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) through electrospinning and phase inversion techniques. SEM characterization results and thermogravimetric analysis underscored the superior characteristics and high thermal stability of the PVDF nanofiber polymer for DSSC applications. The study's pivotal findings underscore the remarkable DSSC performance achieved with chlorophyll pigment from papaya leaves, reaching 1.31% efficiency without a polymer electrolyte. Moreover, the sappan-mangosteen dye emerged as a promising contender with the highest efficiency values when applied with polymer electrolyte, recording rates of 1.17% for PVDF NF and 0.95% for PVDF, which are notably comparable to the efficiency of liquid electrolyte at 1.26%.

Abstract

This article analyzes the strength of written evidence and proof of physical possession in registering land rights in Indonesia. This normative juridical research examines laws and regulations related to land registration, particularly GR No. 24/1997 and GR No. 18/2021. The results show that while evidence of physical possession for 20 consecutive years can be the basis for land registration, written evidence tends to have stronger evidentiary power in dispute resolution. However, the Indonesian legal system has no clear hierarchy between the two. Judges have an important role in assessing the evidence presented based on the principles of evidentiary law. This research recommends increased socialization on the importance of land registration and the need for a clearer policy on the hierarchy of evidence in land dispute resolution to improve legal certainty.

Abstract

Cassava can be processed into chips, which have a special appeal with their distinctive flavour and crunchy texture. Cassava chip production creates profits for cassava farmers and is a major industry in some regions. Improving product quality involves various control measures, including handling and packaging of the final product. The frying and draining process is an important factor in extending the shelf life and inhibiting oxidation of a product. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the use of appropriate technology (TTG) draining machines on the nutrition and shelf life of cassava chips products. The results showed that the total fat, saturated fat, protein and carbohydrate content of cassava chips products as a result of TTG were 4.91%; 2.26%; 3.11%; 81.01%, respectively. The shelf life of the chips was 5.25 months (157.5 or 158 days). The results of the organoleptic test of cassava chips in terms of colour, aroma, texture and overall liking level received a positive response from the community, both teenagers and adults. The aspects of aroma, taste, texture and colour as well as the overall level of liking with a percentage level of 80% (seblak daun jeruk), 58% (fried chicken), 61% (rendang), and 56% (grilled chicken).

Abstract

In the case of the above decision, the judge granted the plaintiff's claim to cancel the grant deed and the grant object returned to the rights of the grantor. With the judge's consideration that the adopted child in this case the grantee has neglected the adoptive parents. However, there is a contradiction when referring to the Civil Code, the grantee as an adopted child is not an heir who is obliged to provide alimony obligations to his adoptive parents. This research uses normative legal methods, where law is conceptualized as what is written in legislation (law in books) and as rules or norms that become benchmarks of human behavior that are considered appropriate. This research is based on primary and secondary legal materials, focusing on the norms contained in the legislation. In brief, Grant according to the Civil Code is a free gift made by a person to another party while still alive. However, the obligation of alimony in the Civil Code only regulates biological children to parents, not including adopted children, resulting in a legal vacuum regarding the obligation of alimony of adopted children to adoptive parents. This causes legal uncertainty, even though there is a legal basis for canceling a grant if the recipient does not provide alimony to the grantor. This legal vacuum makes it difficult to apply the principle of grant cancellation in the context of adopted children.

Abstract

This study optimizes dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) performance using a combination of natural dye components extracted from Beta vulgaris L. (beetroot), Curcuma longa L. (turmeric), and Pandanus amaryllifolius (pandanus leaf). These plants were selected for their natural pigments—betacyanin, curcuminoids, and chlorophyll—which potentially act as DSSC sensitizers. Dyes were extracted via maceration with ethanol solvent (1:6 sample:solvent ratio) for 24 h. Filtrates were combined in various ratios to test DSSC performance. The optimal C4 dye combination, with a 2:1:1 ratio (betacyanin:curcumin:chlorophyll), demonstrated the best performance. The UV-vis analysis revealed complex interactions and synergistic effects among dye combinations, characterized by increased light absorption in the 400–700 nm range. Cyclic voltammetry analysis showed favorable energy band gap values, confirming the pigments' suitability for DSSC applications. FTIR analysis confirmed the stable coexistence of the three dyes without new bond formation. Photovoltaic performance testing showed the C4 three-dye combination achieved the highest energy conversion efficiency of 3.57%. These results demonstrate the potential of this dye combination to contribute to the development of sustainable and efficient solar energy conversion in DSSCs.

Abstract

Indonesia has an electrification rate exceeding 99% as of 2020, yet it faces increasing electricity demands amid declining fossil fuel availability. Solar energy, particularly through DSSC, presents a promising renewable alternative, benefiting from an abundant radiation potential of up to 120.000 TW. DSSC have garnered significant attention due to their thin design, high efficiency, ease of fabrication, and environmental friendliness. The DSSC module was designed using two FTO glass plates as electrodes, with an anode surface area of 3 cm2. The TiO2 photoanode was prepared using a casting knife technique and then sintered at 450°C for one hour. This was followed by sensitization with anthocyanin dye derived from the butterfly pea flower under acidic conditions for 24 hours to ensure the stability of the compound. The electrolyte system consisted of PVDF NF membranes soaked in the electrolyte    solution for one hour to prevent leakage, thus completing the FTO/TiO2/PVDF/C/FTO system. Performance optimization involved arranging 20 DSSC cells in a mixed series-parallel circuit configuration. Electrical parameters were measured using a multimeter under various lamp irradiation durations. The optimal efficiency was achieved with 5 hours of irradiation, resulting in 2.050 mV and 23.5 x 10-3 µA. When integrated into a battery system, the DSSC module demonstrated effective current storage stability over 6 hours, indicating strong potential for practical implementation in sustainable energy generation for real-world applications.
