Abstract

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a semiconductor material that has great stability so that it can be utilized as a filler material for High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) thermoplastics. This study was conducted to determine the effect of TiO2 PEG 6000 nanoparticle filler composition on the mechanical properties of HDPE thermoplastics. TiO2 was synthesized with sol gel method and then mixed with PEG 6000. Nanocomposites are made by mixing HDPE with TiO2 nano filler in a rheomixer tool with variations in filler composition (2, 4, 6, 8, 10) %wt, then molded using injection molding tools with ASTM 638 type V standards and analyzing mechanical properties using UTM (Universal Testing Machine) test equipment which includes tensile strength, elongation at break and elastic modulus. The results of XRD analysis produced a particle size of 22nm and SEM tests showed that the surface of TiO2 nanoparticles had a smooth and even surface. The sample with 8% wt filler composition variation is the sample with the best tensile strength value of 84.72 MPa, the highest elongation at break value in the sample with 4% filler of 35.5% and the highest elastic modulus in the sample with 8%wt filler composition of 729.33 MPa.Keywords: Titanium dioxide, HDPE thermoplastic, PEG 6000, Tensile test.

Characterizations carried out include FTIR, UV-VIS-NIR Spectrophotometer, Abbe Refractometer, Spectrofluorophotometer. To study the physical properties, the optical properties were examined through their absorption and luminescence spectra. The luminescence spectrum is known by photoluminescence. Characteristic luminescence bands corresponding to electronic transitions of terbium ions were detected under two direct excitations of Tb3+ ions. After 377 nm excitation, the glass sample obtained terbium 5D4→ 7F5 transition at 544 nm indicating green laser. The application of green laser has been investigated with CIE coordinate diagram.

In this study, microtremor wave measurements were carried out using the HVSR (Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio) method to identify earthquake vulnerability in Pangururuan District, Samosir, North Sumatra. In this study, measurements were made at 4 points scattered around the area so that the data obtained represented data in the area. Measurement of signal recording data was carried out for 50-60 minutes for each measurement point. Based on the results obtained, the dominant frequency value of the soil is in the range of 2.29 - 12.78 with a very high classification at points RGR1, RGR3 and RGR4 with type I soil classification, namely hard rock, and point RGR2 is classified as low with type IV soil classification, namely soft soil. While the amplification value in Pangururan District is still classified as a low amplification category with an amplification value of <3.

Sembahe Village is an area that is highly vulnerable to landslides. This is caused by steep topographic conditions and high rainfall. This research is intended to understand the characteristics and distribution of dominant frequencies, amplification factors and seismic vulnerability index on the possibility of landslides. Microtremor measurements were carried out in Hamlet 3 Sembahe Village at 2 location points which were measured using a portable seismograph / Pegasus for 2 hours with a sampling frequency. 100 Hz. Microtremor data was processed using Geopsy software using the Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR) method and each parameter was weighted using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) statistical method in determining potential landslide areas. The results obtained show that the distribution of dominant frequency values (F0) is 5.36 Hz – 5.33 Hz, amplification (A0) is 1.84 – 1.59, seismic vulnerability index (Kg) is 0.63 x 10-3s2 / cm - 0.47 x 10-3 s2/cm. Based on weight analysis using the AHP statistical method, the location point that has the highest potential for landslides is point 1

Abstract

Perovskite solar cells utilize perovskite as the active material to convert sunlight into electrical energy. Perovskite is a compound with a crystal structure of ABX₃, where A and B are cations, and X is an anion, usually a halide. Research continues to find perovskites with high efficiency. This efficiency is related to the electronic structure, which can be analyzed using Density Functional Theory (DFT). In this study, the electronic structure of cubic phase LiBX₃ perovskites (B = Pb and Sn; X = Br, Cl, and I) is investigated using Quantum ESPRESSO software. Various parameters such as cut-off energy, k-points, and lattice constants were modified to obtain optimal values. From the optimization results, the band gap, DOS, and PDOS values for the six perovskites were obtained. The resulting band gap energy (Eg) are LiPbBr₃ at 1,71 eV, LiPbCl₃ at 1,87 eV, LiPbI₃ at 1,43 eV, LiSnBr₃ at 0,51 eV, LiSnCl₃ at 0,65 eV, and LiSnI₃ at 0,28 eV. These results show that the band gap energy values increase with the change in atomic radius from Sn to Pb and decrease with the change in atomic radius from Cl, Br to I. The electronic structure calculations of LiBX₃ (B = Pb and Sn; X = Br, Cl, and I) show semiconductor properties that have the potential to be used as light-absorbing materials in perovskite solar cells. This study states that LiBX₃ has great potential in solar cell applications and offers a deep understanding of the relationship between crystal structure and its electronic properties.

Abstract

OPC-concrete is the most commonly used type of concrete. The production of OPC produces CO2 emissions, which is one of the main causes of climate change and global warming. A recent innovation used as a high-strength concrete admixture is fly ash. Earthquakes pose a serious threat to the safety and stability of high-rise buildings. This study uses a finite difference method computational approach to analyze the seismic behavior of multi-storey buildings using fly ash concrete and opc concrete by utilizing data on stiffness, mass, damping, and earthquake acceleration. Based on the simulation results, the mode shape graphs of fly ash concrete and opc concrete are similar but the vibration frequencies of both are different, where the frequency of fly ash concrete is higher than the frequency of opc concrete. The displacements of the buildings with fly ash concrete and opc concrete still meet the applicable deviation allowance, where the maximum displacements of the buildings are 0.00308 m and 0.00342 m, respectively, while the maximum shear force of both buildings occurs on the first floor, which is 5967.59 N and 5104.78 N, respectively.
