Abstract

The inorganic pigment is a material that determines the color of a paint that can be used as a coating material. Until now, the basic material for red pigment, namely hematite, has been imported to meet domestic needs. This study aims to develop a hematite-based inorganic pigment material from the mill-scale waste of PT Krakatau Steel by modifying the surface to be hydrophobic, making the pigmenting material resistant to acid attack and preventing peeling and corrosion of the material. The surface modification of hematite is carried out by reacting it with stearic acid into ethanol as a solvent. Hematite was immersed in a stearic acid solution with various concentrations of 2, 4, 6, and 8% for 6 hours; it was then separated by filtration and followed by the drying process. The hematite-stearic was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and water contact angle (WCA). The results show that the grafting process successfully changed the properties of hematite to hydrophobic. It is also supported by the FTIR spectrum due to the presence of molecular vibration of C-H, C=O, C-O, and Fe-O. Then, the higher contact angle is 150.474° for the stearic acid concentration of 6%.

Abstract

Water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) emulsion is an effective technology for encapsulating bioactivity but has poor stability. This study aims to evaluate the effect of ultrasonication on the preparation of double emulsions with varying alginate/chitosan ratios (1:1, 1:2, 2:1) and sonication times between 0 and 7 minutes. The results showed that a sonication time of 7 minutes resulted in the best storage stability (0.00–1.02%) and thermal stability (17.13–23.21%), a significant decrease in droplet size (2.08–2.87 μm), and higher emulsion activity index (EAI) (16.11–38.10 m2/g) and emulsion stability index (ESI) (63.28–89.74 min) values. The alginate/chitosan ratio of 2:1 also gave the most optimal results with storage stability of 4.58%, thermal stability of 36.23%, droplet size of 2.08–4.14 μm, and EAI and ESI values of 16.12 m2/g and 48.42 min. The ultrasonic-assisted alginate/chitosan double emulsion method effectively improved the stability and bioavailability of bioactive and presents significant potential for food and pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract

The electrocoagulation process is simple and environmentally friendly. It removes pollutants in peat water such as color and total organic carbon (TOC). In this study, the electrocoagulation process was designed, optimized, and investigated using central composite design (CCD) type response surface methodology (RSM). The effects of current density and reaction time in the range of 6–14 mA/cm2 and 30–90 minutes on the efficiency of color and TOC treatment were evaluated. The best results for removing output efficiency were 10 mA/cm2 for 30 minutes (98.1% color) and 10 mA/cm2 for 30 minutes (91% TOC). By comparing actual and predicted data, the optimum condition in this process occurs when the current density is 6.140 mA/cm2 and the reaction time is 76.042 minutes. The experimental data can be well described using the central composite design

Abstract

Mercury (Hg) contamination presents significant effects on human health and the environmental, particularly caused by its bio-accumulative and neurotoxic properties. Effective detection of Hg(II) is essential for monitoring and mitigating its impact. Among various detection methods, colorimetric sensors have developed into a promising solution due to their affordability, simplicity, and real-time detection capabilities. This review summarizes recent advancements in colorimetric sensors for Hg(II) detection, focusing on innovative materials such as silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), paper-based substrates, agarose biopolymers, and carbon dots (CDs). AuNPs and AgNPs are highlighted for their unique optical properties and sensitivity, enabling visible detection through surface plasmon resonance changes. Paper-based sensors offer portability and low-cost solutions, while agarose serves as a stable biopolymer matrix for immobilizing detection agents. CDs, with their tunable fluorescence properties and green synthesis potential, provide a biocompatible option for hybrid sensing systems. Despite significant progress, challenges such as stability, selectivity in complex matrices, and scalability of green synthesis remain. Future research should focus on integrating these sensors into portable platforms and enhancing their performance for field applications. This review underscores the critical role of innovative materials and sustainable techniques in advancing mercury detection technologies

Abstract

Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation significantly alters the chemical, thermal, and mechanical properties of polypropylene (PP), leading to degradation and reduced material performance. This study aims to investigate the effect of exposure length to UV on the chemical properties (functional and thermal) and mechanical properties (tensile strength) of PP. Specimens were subjected to UV exposure for 0 (control), 125, 175, 225, 275, 325, 375, and 625 days. FTIR analysis indicates UV exposure chemically degrades polypropylene (PP) by generating new oxygenated groups (–OH and C=O at 3368 cm⁻¹ and 1586 cm⁻¹) and damaging its main molecular structure (C-H at 2949 cm⁻¹, 2867 cm⁻¹, and 841 cm⁻¹). Prolonged UV exposure alters the thermal properties of polypropylene (PP), as indicated by DSC analysis, which shows broadening and shifting of the melting peak (175–180 °C) due to crystallinity changes and increased oxidation. The mechanical properties also deteriorate, with a critical reduction in tensile strength, particularly between 225 and 375 days, indicating an accelerated degradation phase. After 625 days, tensile strength declines by approximately 59%, confirming the substantial impact of extended UV exposure on PP’s durability.

Abstract

– We reported our study the electronic structure of graphene in bulk structure and graphene quantum dot (GQD) by density functional theory (DFT) by using in quantum espresso (QE) package. In order simulate the realistic shape of GQD, we set vacuum layer to avoid interaction between quantum dot in the periodic structure in crystal. We examined various shape of quantum dot namely triangular, Hexagon, parallelogram. The band gap is tunable by its shape which open wide application of GQD. We showed that we can tuning the electronic structure of graphene by tuning its structure. In bulk structure, graphene is zero-gap semiconductor. On the other hand, the results on GQD showed the discrete energy level and different shapes of GQD have different energy level and band gap.

Abstract

The study of carbonaceous electrode materials for supercapacitors is expanding and remains challenging. Chitosan is one of the many biomasses found in nature that can be converted into porous carbon for electrode materials in supercapacitors. Despite having a high specific surface area and good chemical stability, porous carbons have a limitation of specific capacitance. On the other hand, polyaniline (PANI), a conductor polymer, typically exhibits high specific capacitance but has low stability. Thus, a binary nanocomposite of chitosan-derived porous carbon (CCS) and PANI is suggested to obtain an optimal performance. Porous carbon was produced from chitosan through two steps: (i) hydrothermal carbonization; (ii) chemical activation using steam at a temperature of 800 °C for 2 hours. The CCS was then oxidized with diluted H2O2 to increase surface wettability. Binary nanocomposites were produced by a nanocompositing method of in situ polymerization of PANI with a variation of 5% (CCS/PANI5%), 10% (CCS/PANI10%), and 15% (CCS/PANI15%). The materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy–energy dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), N2-sorption analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Meanwhile, electrochemical tests were performed using a three-electrode method to obtain cyclic voltammetry and the capacitance of each sample. The N2-sorption analysis showed that the surface area of samples CCS, CCS/PANI5%, CCS/PANI10%, and CCS/PANI15% are 1305 m2.g-1, 430 m2.g-1, 333 m2.g-1, and 238 m2.g-1, respectively. SEM-EDX, FTIR, and TGA proved that PANI is loaded in the carbon surface. From the electrochemical tests conducted at a scan rate of 5 mV.s⁻¹, the specific capacitance values for the samples CCS, PANI, CCS/PANI5%, CCS/PANI10%, and CCS/PANI15% were determined to be 220.27 F.g⁻¹, 143.81 F.g⁻¹, 330.42 F.g⁻¹, 434.73 F.g⁻¹, and 391.27 F.g⁻¹, respectively. The CCS/PANI10% sample exhibited the highest specific capacitance of 434.73 F.g⁻¹, corresponding to an energy density of 86.9 Wh.kg⁻¹ and a power density of 1.3 kW.kg⁻¹. These significant enhancements in specific capacitance underscore the effectiveness of the nanocomposite approach and highlight its potential for improving electrode performance. As a result, the chitosan-based porous carbon and polyaniline nanocomposite developed in this study is a promising candidate for supercapacitor electrode materials.

Abstract

Banana plants are utilized in almost all parts except for the peduncle due to their hardness and the presence of gum. This research, aimed at evaluating the mechanical properties of banana peduncle fiber, particularly its tensile strength, is significant in exploring the potential of this underutilized part of the plant. The tensile test followed the SNI 12-0064-1987 standard to assess and compare Manila and sisal ropes. Six types of fiber were tested: bleached peduncle fiber, unbleached peduncle fiber, abaca (Manila) fiber, coir fiber, marketed abaca fiber, and marketed coir. The highest average maximum load was found in marketed abaca rope, which measured 346.7 kg. However, this is still below the minimum load standard required by SNI, which is 480 kg. The results of the marketed abaca differ from those of abaca ropes spun using a foot spindle, indicating that the spinning and twisting techniques significantly influence tensile test outcomes. The test also shows that the bleaching process weakens the fiber strength because the unbleached banana peduncle ropes reach a higher average maximum load (92.9 kg) than the bleached banana peduncle ropes (45.2 kg). Moreover, the tensile strength tests revealed that the average breaking load of banana peduncle fiber rope was 92.9 kg, comparable to abaca fiber at 93.7 kg and coir fiber at 92.8 kg. This comparison was based on similar variables: a diameter of 8 millimeters, similar spinning techniques using a foot spindle, and no prior bleaching process. These findings underscore the potential of underutilized banana peduncle fiber ropes as a promising alternative to abaca or coir due to their load-bearing capabilities. It is important to note that the results of this tensile test are comparative rather than absolute.

Abstract

Aluminum alloys suffer from deficiencies in surface performance due to insufficient resistance to corrosion and mechanical qualities in harsh environments. Therefore, it is crucial to apply a protective surface modification during the manufacturing process of the aluminum component. The electroless deposited Ni-P shows great potential as a protective coating due to its simple manufacturing process and outstanding performance. This study investigates the effect of oxalic acid concentration in the anodizing process on electroless Ni-P coating. In this study, Anodic Aluminum Oxide (AAO) is formed by an anodizing process on 0.3,0.5, and 0.7 oxalic acids prior to Ni-P electroless deposition. The resulting Ni-P layer has a nodular-like morphology with a size in the order of 0.5 m or less. Moreover, the AAO surface is covered by a thin and tightly formed layer of nickel particles. The EDX analysis shows the oxygen percentage falls by up to 70% after Ni deposition in all anodizing parameters, as compared to the anodized specimens alone. In addition, the nickel content gradually decreases as the concentration of oxalic acid increases from 0.3 M to 0.7 M.
