Abstract

Precipitation is ones of many atmospheric phenomena which closed with human activity. There is so many factors in earth atmosphere that can cause precipitation from global into local scale. One of them is atmospheric stability that identified based on convective available potential energy (CAPE). Using of CAPE is to know the characteristics of atmospheric stability and its correlation with precipitation so we can estimate accuracy of CAPE for predicting daily rainfall. Study took location at several areas in Padang as a region which is located in  tropical latitude and divide it based on topographical characteristic such coastal, urban, and slope mountain area. To understand characteristic of atmospheric stability, is used scatterplot between CAPE with precipitation rainfall. Conclusion shows that for all studied area, CAPE value have variation from slight into moderate, with a little case heavy and extreme value. Correlation between CAPE and daily rainfall shows a negative correlation, which has r score less than -0.2. It can be assumed that relationship between CAPE and rainfall is not significantly closed. Hence, we can assume that atmospheric stability has a less relationship for making high intensity precipitation.

Based on the MnFe2O4 testing is one material that is suitable for use as a composite by mixing other binders in it. Polyaniline (PANi) is a polymer that can be used as a binding material which is an attractive conductive polymer because it has unique properties and good thermal stability. This research was conducted by making three variations of the composition of MnFe2O4 / PANi namely 40%: 60%, 50%: 50%, and 60%: 40% made using the spin coating method. This research was conducted to investigate the effect of composition on the microstructure of the MnFe2O4 / PANi nanocomposite layer using the spin coating method. The microstructure to be investigated is the functional group of grain size and thickness of the nanocomposite layer. The tools used in this study are Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) used to obtain the functional groups of nanocomposite layers, X-ray Diffraction (XRD) is used to get the size of crystals and microstructure of crystals, and the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Characterization and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) are used to obtain grain size and thickness of the nanocomposite layer. The results of the FTIR characterization are the functional groups of MnFe2O4 / PANi which produce absorption bands at wavenumbers 3214.85 cm-1, 3353.86 cm-1, and 3214.03 cm-1, which are O-H groups. The absorption band at wavenumbers 717.00 cm-1, 763.94 cm-1, and 747.31 cm-1 is the C-H group showing PANi. Absorption peaks that are below 1000 cm-1 that is at wavenumbers 874.78 cm-1, 924.18 cm-1, and 895.96 cm-1 show indications of Manganese Ferrit. The results of the XRD characterization were crystal size and microstrain, each of which had a crystal size composition of 49.90478417 nm, 45.29656118 nm, and 44.52213202, and then for the value of the microstrain, each variation was 0.116667149, 0.15983276, and 0.183718732. Then from SEM characterization results obtained grain size values of 0.445 μm, 0.426 μm, 0.318 μm, while the thickness obtained for each variation is 1.29 μm, 2.02 μm, and 2.20 μm.

Abstract

In nature there is a phenomenon. Which this phenomenon can be seen in the lotus leaf and taro leaves. a phenomenon called hydropobic (water repellent) properties. This research is a previous research. On application, the hydrophobic coating will mostly break down quickly when applied outside or in harsh environments. So it is very important to develop a durable hydrophobic layer, especially the stability properties against Ultra Violet (Uv). Therefore, this study aims to see the effect of adding salt and acid to the hydrophobic silica / polystyrene nanocomposite (SiO2 / PS) layer on the stability of the Uv. with a polystyrene composition of 0.5 grams and 0.2 grams of silica powder and 0.4 grams of salt and 0.4 grams of acid. The coating method used is the spin coating method and the Uv stability test on the hydrophobic layer is done by drying the layers for one hour under direct sunlight. The results of this study were the contact angle measurements using imagej software, and the crystal grain size by SEM (Scanning electron microscop). UV stability can be seen by changing the contact angle in each sample where the contact angle that can be before irradiation is acid added salt (120.1490C), salt (100.3630C), acid (128.5910C), without mixture (133.6680C) ) and after irradiation is. Salt (92.970C), unmixed (98.1440C), acid added salt (92.1150C), acid (141.5750C). These results may indicate that acid coating is more likely to use hydrophobic / self-cleaning surfaces in harsh environments such as high Uv irradiation, and outdoor applications.
