Abstract

Fe(III)-IIPs material was prepared using a cooling-heating method with different leaching variations. The synthesis process used several chemical components, including EGDMA, MAA, and BPO as the crosslinker, functional monomer, and initiator. This study focused on the template formation process of IIPs with leaching variations, using parameters such as molarity concentration, solution mixture, and temperature to influence the amount of template formed in the polymer body. The spectra of XRD showed a widening value of FWHM as higher molarity was applied during the leaching process, with the widest one at 0.163 rad for IIPs 3 M. Fe(III) peak is located at 680-610 cm−1 or 1386-1350 cm−1 within the unleached sample, according to FTIR spectra. It also can be traced at minimum intensity in leached samples. SEM data processing showed that higher concentrations were essential in releasing Fe(III) ions from the polymer body. Meanwhile, heat treatment did not strongly impact the template formation sites of IIPs. Synthesized Fe(III)-IIPs materials had adsorption capacity, optimum time, and efficiency of 9.35 mg.g−1, 40 minutes, and 93.48%, respectively. Based on the results, Fe(III)-IIPs materials had great potential as adsorbents for removing metal pollutants from water.

Abstract

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is hydrophilic, flexible, elastic, and environmentally friendly, leading to the wide use as a binder in nanofiber matrices. The nanofibers of PVA are frequently combined with extract possessing antibacterial properties for characterization. Therefore, this study aimed to produce PVA nanofibers incorporating soursop leaf extract (ALE) and catappa leaf extract (CLE) using electrospinning for the investigation of the physicochemical, mechanical, and antibacterial properties. Electron microscopy showed that the electrospun nanofibers had a yellowish-brown surface with diameters ranging from 962 nm to 1323 nm. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) analysis revealed the presence of functional groups interacting through hydrogen bonding, leading to a shift in wavenumbers. The tensile strength of PAC-1, PAC-2, and PAC-3 nanofibers decreased from 8.46 MPa to 4.27 MPa, followed by a reduction in Young’s modulus from 20.2 MPa to 0.89 MPa. The effect of extract concentration on the reduction in tensile strength and Young’s modulus was related to aggregation in certain areas of the nanofibers and weakened intermolecular polymer interactions. Pure extract had strong antibacterial activity and nanofiber membranes had moderate activity with inhibition zones ranging from 12.3 to 16.8 mm and 8.0 to 14.4 mm, respectively. The results showed that the produced fibers could be used in the biomedical field for wound dressings and filtration, as well as in textiles.

Abstract

Global warming is the most world priority of environment issues, which is indicate continously increment of  global mean temperature of Earth. Various research shown detrimental impact of Earth environment, due to increment of Earth temperature. Our study provide temperature trend of small scope observation unit, the urban area of Palembang City at latitude 2,9° and longtitude 104,7° for 30 years, from 1991-2020. Linear regression analysis shown the temperature increase on skin temperature (TS) and temperature at 2 meter range (T2M) are 0,4°C and 0,46°C, respectively. These variable can become indicator of global warming occurance on small scope of observation unit.Keywords: Global warming, Temperature trend, Linear regression
