Abstract

Thiazole derivative molecules with a low energy gap have been successfully designed using the DFT/TD-DFT calculation methods. The calculations were simulated by adding varied numbers of thiophenes (1, 2, 3, and 10) and electron donating molecules of –H, -NH2, -OCH3, and –COOH in the ethanol solvent. The best thiazole derivative was the molecule constructed using a long-conjugated bridge of 10-thiophenes, the carboxyl anchoring site, and an amine addition as the electron donating molecule with an energy gap of 1.66 eV and a strong UV-Vis absorption in the red light region (673.20 nm). These designed molecules are beneficial to be applied in the equator area such as Indonesia. Further, the profound effects of the thiophene bridge in terms of the structural and energy gaps, and the variation of electron-donating molecules affected the photonic properties have been demonstrated in this paper.

Abstract

The current lithium-ion battery (LIB) has become a vital technology for realizing a highly-productive society. The current system can be found easily in every personal electronic device, such as smartphones, laptops, smartwatches, and digital cameras. However, the future of LIBs is questionable due to the scarcity and security issues. The common electrolytes in this system are highly flammable, toxic, and easy to leak. Thus, inherit them to be applied for more mass-reliable energy sources, the terra-watt projects. Therefore, the development of an all-solid-state battery based on earth-abundant and cost-effective processing should be carried out immediately to dominate the market and for future civilization. Herein, we promoted a Sodium solid-state battery (SSB) that potentially be a key in energy storage technology due to its mechanical properties, electrochemical stability, high ion conductivity, and robust cyclic performance. Furthermore, a five-year direct implementation strategy of SSB was also presented, constructed from sodium and chromium electrodes.

Abstract

The dependence on the imported bullet-proof vest  as one of the main equipments of the National Defense System needs attention. This condition treats the independence of domestic defense security. In contrast, the potential of natural materials for bullet-proof vest plates are abundant in Indonesia. Nata de Coco is one of the natural raw materials for producing bullet-proof vest plates that has the potential to be developed. This preliminary research proved that increasing the bond strength of cellulose in Nata de Coco was performed by adding the appropriate crosslinkers. The addition of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) 2% crosslinker to form Nata de Coco kevlar-like plates (Navlar) was evidenced to increase threefold tensile strength (99.15 MPa) from its original Nata de Coco (31.92 MPa). The development of Navlar is a very strategic sector for producing high-quality bullet-proof vest plates equivalent to kevlar strength. Navlar is more prospective than Kevlar due to its abundant source, cheap, lightweight, and ease to manufacture. Developing Navlar could replace the dependence on imported Kevlar and support the domestic defense industry.

Abstract

In defense industry, α-cellulose is the main component of nitrocellulose propellant. However, a detailed description of the reaction mechanism of each treatment step in SNI 0444-2009 is still very scarce. This study addresses this gap by presenting the reaction mechanisms of each treatment and the symbols used in the SNI 0444-2009 procedure. The separation of lignin from α-cellulose occurred by breaking the C‒O bond linking them. This bond was broken by the ‒OH group of NaOH via a hydrolysis reaction. The reaction was initiated with the elimination of a hydrogen atom from the lignin structure by the hydroxyl ion (‒OH), and the C‒O bond was broken by a hydrolysis reaction. The breaking of this bond was indicated by the disappearance of the IR peaks at wavenumbers 1049 and 1190 cm–1 in the filtrate after extraction. The SNI 0444-2009 method for the α-cellulose content test was carried out by a redox back titration of Cr(VI) with Fe(II) from ferrous ammonium sulfate. This titration was conducted to calculate the amount of Cr(VI) ions in potassium dichromate or Cr(VI) that did not react with lignin or beta cellulose in the filtrate. Understanding the contribution and reaction mechanisms of each compound involved in the SNI 0444-2009 procedure contributed to obtaining accurate data on α-cellulose content. In this study, the calculated α-cellulose content of the flax fiber was 96.75%. Furthermore, the detailed mechanism of the redox reaction was discussed in detail in this paper.

Abstract

In the post-pandemic era, many interactive activities have been flexibly generated through virtual conditions. Accordingly, some problems could appear in terms of leadership, such as difficulties in maintaining the audience’s attention during the event. Thus, the utilization of a command-based leadership style that could straightforwardly maintain audience focus ought to be considered to be adopted. However, both the command-based leadership style and its prospective aspects have not been widely understood by society. This community service aims to deliver a proper understanding of the command-based leadership style through interactive virtual discussion between experts in teaching activities of defense-based science and society consisting of Indonesian teachers, high school students as well as academics. Statistical results of pre-test and post-test scores showed enhancement of the participants’ understanding of command-based leadership. Hopefully, some relevant aspects of their new perspective of command-based leadership can be properly adopted and effectively implemented to answer current challenges, such as in terms of managing people in virtual conditions.

Abstract

This review explored the potential of carbon-based radar-absorbing materials (RAM), which had gained significant attention due to their superior properties and performance. In response to the growing demand for stealth technology in the military and civilian sectors, traditional radar-absorbing materials encountered limitations: weight, cost, and effectiveness. Carbon-based materials, such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and various composites, offered lightweight, flexible, and tunable solutions that enhanced electromagnetic wave absorption across a wide frequency range. This paper examined the underlying mechanisms of radar wave absorption in carbon-based materials, highlighting their advantages over conventional options. In addition, recent advancements in fabrication techniques, including 3D printing and hybrid composite development, were also discussed, emphasizing their role in optimizing performance and sustainability. By synthesizing current research findings, this review aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the carbon-based RAM potential in advancing the future of stealth technology. Ultimately, this study presented insights that contribute to the continuing investigation in advanced materials science, suggesting a potential way to develop materials that can enhance radar absorption capabilities and extend their applications in modern technology.
