Abstract

This study examined the effect of sonication on FTIR and stability at various temperatures in water-based lubricants with a mixture of Carboxymethyl Cellulose (1wt%) and Uncaria Gambir extract (1wt% and 2wt%). The sample was prepared by mixing the two materials into distilled water using a magnetic stirrer and sonicator with time variations of 5 and 10 minutes. Before mixing, the Uncaria Gambir extract solution with water is first centrifuged to remove the dregs in the Uncaria Gambir extract powder. Stability was carried out in an open room (28oC), drying oven (50oC), and refrigerator (5oC). The stability test results showed that the mixture of Carboxymethyl Cellulose and Uncaria Gambir had good stability at all temperatures after sonication for a short duration. The longer sonication duration could fuse the fibrils of Carboxymethyl Cellulose, leading to increasing particle size. FTIR results also show that there is no chemical reaction that occurs. After adding the gambier, there was a new peak at wave 800-1300 cm-1, corresponding to the gambier. The results of this study indicate that the Carboxymethyl Cellulose and Uncaria Gambir solution can be a potential lubricant additive. The Carboxymethyl Cellulose can be a viscosity modifier, while Uncaria Gambir extract for corrosion inhibitor.

Abstract

The quest for innovative and superior materials is a challenge in the realm of materials science and engineering. Traditional materials often fall short in meeting the demands of modern industries, especially in the military. Technological developments in the military domain are still progressing, one of which involves a new material for combat vehicle applications: a laminated composite. In this research, a composite consisting of AA7075 sheet metal and kevlar with epoxy resin and TiC nanopowder were prepared. A test was conducted to assess its performance in absorbing ballistic energy from projectiles. Solid Thickening Fluid (STF) was created by mixing TiC nanopowder with PEG-400 through 2 hours of stirring. The laminate composite structure was prepared using the hand layup method, followed by a drying process at room temperature. The addition of kevlar layers yielded promising results in the ballistic and impact tests, as the diameter of the perforation decreased progressively with each additional kevlar layer. The IK sample impact test value improved by 35.7% compared to the unimpregnated one. The production process of this material also consumes minimal energy, which suggest a potential for environmental sustainability.

Abstract

This study investigates the potential of enhancing the mechanical properties of polylactic acid (PLA) using cellulose nanocrystals (CNC). Recognized for their high specific strength and stiffness, CNCs are considered to improve the performance of PLA in engineering plastic applications. The synthesis involves a twin-screw extrusion process, which facilitates the uniform dispersion of CNC within the PLA matrix. The mechanical properties, including tensile strength and elongation at break, are comprehensively analyzed, highlighting the effects of CNC concentrations on the performance of PLA composites. Notably, the addition of 1 wt% CNC resulted in a 20% increase in strain at break compared to pure PLA, demonstrating enhanced ductility. Additionally, the thermal resistance of the composite increased by 0.3% with the inclusion of 5 wt% CNC. This study highlights the positive effect of CNC addition on the mechanical properties of PLA composites, making them more suitable for specialized engineering uses.

Abstract

In recent years, the exploration of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composites has garnered significant attention due to their versatility applications in aqueous environments. However, despite their promise, neat PVA exhibit limitations such as significant mechanical degradation under repeated swelling cycles. This study investigates the durability and tribological performance of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composites reinforced with nickel-iron layered double hydroxide (LDH) and tannic acid (TA) under repeated swelling cycles. Building on previous research that explored composite preparation and initial characterization, this research emphasizes the effects of cyclic swelling on wear resistance, friction behavior, and mechanical properties. Tribological tests were conducted to evaluate the coefficient of friction (COF) and wear rate before and after multiple swelling cycles, alongside tensile strength and strain measurements. The results revealed that the PVA/TA2/LDH2 composite, containing the highest additive content, exhibited the lowest wear rate of 11.52 × 10⁻⁵ mm³/Nm after 3 swelling cycles, demonstrating superior resistance to material degradation. Although PVA/TA2/LDH1 exhibited a slightly lower COF, its wear rate was higher due to reduced reinforcement. Compared to neat PVA, which showed a COF increase from 0.45 to 0.53, the PVA/LDH/TA composites retained their tribological stability, with only a marginal increase in COF and wear rate. Similarly, tensile strength of PVA/TA2/LDH2 decreased by only 11% after 3 cycles (from 33.3 MPa to 30 MPa), while neat PVA experienced a 25.5% reduction (from 30 MPa to 22.5 MPa). These findings highlight the potential of PVA/LDH/TA composites for applications in aqueous environments, offering significantly enhanced long-term performance and reliability.

Abstract

Anti-UV films and composites play a critical role in protecting materials from ultraviolet-induced degradation, which can weaken polymers, reduce product lifespan, and compromise performance in sectors such as food packaging, outdoor coatings, and biomedical devices. The growing emphasis on sustainability and the need for environmentally friendly protective materials have further accelerated research on UV-shielding technologies that incorporate biopolymers, multifunctional additives, and renewable resources. This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of global research on anti-UV films and composites over the period 2014–2024. Data were retrieved from the Scopus database and analyzed using Bibliometrix (R package) and VOSviewer were employed to analyze publication patterns, map keyword networks, and visualize thematic evolution, as these tools enable robust quantitative and structural mapping of large bibliographic datasets. Three dominant thematic clusters were identified: (i) nanoparticle-based UV shielding using inorganic fillers such as ZnO and TiO₂, (ii) multifunctional films integrating UV protection with antibacterial and antioxidant properties, and (iii) biopolymer-based matrices emphasizing mechanical durability and environmental sustainability. These clusters highlight the convergence of performance, sustainability, and multifunctionality as key drivers shaping current research directions. Despite significant progress, the analysis reveals limited attention to scalability, industrial compatibility, and long-term performance evaluation. The findings underscore the need for future research to incorporate pilot-scale processing, life-cycle assessments, and interdisciplinary collaboration to bridge the gap between laboratory formulations and commercial implementation. Overall, this bibliometric study provides a consolidated understanding of the evolution and research landscape of anti-UV films and composites.
