Abstract

Electromagnetic radar technology has become integral in various innovations, such as military, air navigation, and weather monitoring. However, the ability of radar to detect objects accurately creates vulnerability to detection by other parties, raising security and confidentiality issues. Therefore, the development of electromagnetic absorber material technology is becoming increasingly important, especially in the military. One promising effort is using smart magnetic pigments as electromagnetic wave absorber materials. This material can be synthesized from metal waste and iron sand, which have high permeability and permittivity. However, synthesizing effective and economical smart magnetic materials is still challenging. Iron sand is one of the potentially abundant material solutions. This study aims to synthesize and characterize smart magnetic pigments ( ) from iron sand and silica ( ) from water hyacinth ash as electromagnetic wave absorber materials. The methods used include the extraction of silica from water hyacinth by a slow heating method at high temperatures and the synthesis of magnetite from iron sand by the coprecipitation method. The resulting material was then composited into an Unsaturated Polyester Resin (UPR) matrix and tested for electromagnetic wave absorption. The developed composite material has a porous structure (3.63 µm, porosity 15.746%) with synergistic properties between dielectric and   ferromagnetic. The Si-O-Si and Fe-O functional groups (FTIR) and the crystal phases , Cristobalite, and Butlerite (XRD) strengthen the material interactions. This combination of characteristics proves that the composite material can absorb and dampen electromagnetic waves.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the potential of local SiO₂ material synthesized from water hyacinth biomass waste as a candidate for semiconductor materials. Synthesis was carried out through a calcination process at temperatures above 600 °C to remove cellulose, lignin, and other impurities. Material characterization was carried out using UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and Raman Spectroscopy. The results of UV-Vis spectroscopy showed that the water hyacinth derived SiO₂ exhibited an unusually reduced optical band gap of approximately 2.3 eV, likely influenced by impurity phases.. XRD tests indicated the presence of two crystal phases, namely the trigonal structure of SiO₂ and the monoclinic structure of the CaH₁₂O₁₇Si₂U₂ compound. Raman analysis confirmed the presence of functional groups such as Si, amorphous SiO2, CH₂/CH₃ and vibration signals from irregular sp² carbon. This combination of structures is thought to cause a lower band gap value compared to pure SiO₂. This finding indicates that SiO₂ from water hyacinth has potential as an intermediate semiconductor material, although further purification is still needed to increase the purity of the SiO₂ phase.

Abstract

This study examines the physical, electrical, and magnetic properties of iron sand from Bayuran Beach to evaluate its potential as a functional material in advanced technology applications. Iron sand samples with particle sizes between 100 and 300 mesh were analyzed using the two-point method, LCR meter, and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). The XRD results indicate that the samples are dominated by the magnetite phase (Fe₃O₄). The 150 mesh sample showed the highest resistivity of 3.38 × 10⁹ Ω·m and a maximum capacitance of 0.16 nF. The magnetic susceptibility value reached 3.34 × 10⁻⁴ m³/kg, with a magnetic mineral content of 79.80% and a density of 2.52 g/cm³. These findings indicate that Bayuran iron sand has strong potential as a soft magnetic material for inductor cores and magnetic field sensors, microwave absorbers for electromagnetic applications, and dielectric substrates in electronic systems. The capacitance variation between dry and wet conditions also indicates its potential as a humidity sensor. Furthermore, the presence of the Fe₃O₄ phase opens up opportunities for further development as an electrode material in supercapacitors or other energy storage devices through morphological engineering. Overall, this local iron sand is a promising candidate for development into a natural resource-based functional material.
