Abstract

COVID-19 has profoundly impacted global health due to its severe respiratory effects. Similarly, respiratory issues are also triggered by pollutants such as O3, SO2, NO2, and CO. In response to these challenges, this study developed a portable air purifier called APMIKAV, incorporating sodium lauryl sulfate, activated carbon, and UV-C light as filter components. APMIKAV fabrication aimed to build a portable air purifier and study its effectiveness in filtering air containing viruses and pollutants into clean air. The APMIKAV utilized a three-stage filtration process that included a surfactant filter for pollutant removal and virus lysis, an activated carbon filter for pollutant adsorption, and a UV-C filter to deactivate viral DNA and RNA. Methods included designing, assembling, and testing. Antiviral testing was carried out with GeNose C19 on patients who tested positive for COVID-19, while air parameters were analyzed using an NDIR analyzer for CO and an air sampling impinger for O3, SO2, and NO2. Test with GeNose C19 showed negative results. Pollutant concentrations post-filtration average efficiency were 98.17%, 68.84%, 49.29%, and 66.34%, for NO2, O3, SO2, and CO, respectively. Overall, the multi-stage filtration process provided a robust solution for enhancing air quality in environments susceptible to both pollution and viral transmission, which confirmed APMIKAV's effectiveness in providing cleaner and safer air.

Abstract

The investigation of phytochemical constituents and biological activities of natural extracts holds considerable potential in pharmacological research. Bioactive components derived from plants are often utilized in the development of novel therapeutic agents. The present study aimed to evaluate the phytochemical profile, antioxidant activity, and cytotoxic potential of Calotropis gigantea flower extract. The extraction was carried out using ethyl acetate as the solvent through maceration for 72 hours. Antioxidant activity was assessed using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, while cytotoxic activity was determined by the Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT). The ethyl acetate extract was found to contain alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and glycosides. It exhibited weak antioxidant activity (IC₅₀ = 329.74 mg/L) and moderate cytotoxic activity (LC₅₀ = 189.88 mg/L). These findings indicate that C. gigantea flowers possess diverse secondary metabolites with potential as antioxidant and anticancer properties.

Abstract

Corrosion analysis was performed on stainless steel (SS304) coated with silica extracted from silica sand in Hukurila Village using the coprecipitation method. The XRF results showed an increase in silica content from 58.118% to 81.247%, indicating high purity. XRD testing revealed that the silica was amorphous, while SEM analysis showed that the silica powder particles were irregular in shape and size, and tended to undergo agglomeration. The silica was then applied as a coating on SS304 using Nippon Paint with silica-to-paint weight ratios of 95:5, 90:10, and 80:20. The samples were tested in a 3.5% NaCl solution for 7 days using polarization methods on a potentiostat to measure corrosion resistance. The results showed that the 80:20 weight ratio provided the highest improvement in corrosion resistance. This enhancement is attributed to the more compact and uniform coating structure formed at higher silica loading, which effectively minimizes micro-pores, strengthens the barrier effect, and suppresses localized pitting corrosion.

Abstract

The synthesis of pyridazinone derivatives has gained increasing attention due to their diverse biological activities, particularly as anticancer agents. In this study, novel pyridazinone derivatives substituted with methoxy groups and phenyl hydrazine were synthesized through a multi-step reaction pathway, starting from methoxyacetophenone and glyoxylic acid, followed by cyclization and substitution reactions to yield the target compound 7-(2-methoxyphenyl)-2H-pyridazino[6,1-c][1,2,4]triazine-3(4H)-one. The synthesized compounds were characterized by melting point, TLC, HPLC, UV-Vis, FTIR, NMR, and MS analyses, confirming the expected structures. In silico evaluation was performed using molecular docking against estrogen receptor α (ERα) kinase domain (PDB ID: 1T46), a key protein in breast cancer progression. The docking results showed that the synthesized compounds exhibited strong binding affinities, with compound 8 displaying a binding free energy of –9.1971 kcal/mol and stable interactions with residues Cys673, Leu799, and Phe811. These values were superior compared to the natural ligand and comparable to the reference drug doxorubicin, indicating significant anticancer potential. The results suggest that structural modification of pyridazinone with methoxy and phenyl hydrazine substituents enhances its cytotoxic activity, making it a promising candidate for further development as an anticancer agent.

Abstract

Brucea javanica L. Merr. has long been used for its antimalarial, anti-diabetic, antibacterial, and antioxidant effects. Its bioactivity depends on both its chemical constituents and the type of solvent employed during extraction. Integrating FTIR and UV-Vis spectral data with chemometric approaches enables classification of fruit extracts based on the solvent used, while GC-MS analysis provides detailed compound identification. Using sonication, extraction with methanol, ethyl acetate, and n-hexane produced yields of 30.61% ± 0.80, 19.20% ± 0.75, and 18.12% ± 0.89, respectively. FTIR spectra were recorded over 600–4000 cm⁻¹, and UV-Vis spectra were measured across 200–800 nm. Analysis showed that ethyl acetate and n-hexane extracts exhibited similar profiles, which differed from that of the methanol extract. PCA successfully distinguished all three extracts, with cumulative PC1 and PC2 values above 70%. FTIR-based PCA provided better separation due to its broader fingerprint region compared to UV-Vis spectra. GC-MS results revealed that the compound profiles were largely similar across the extracts, although more compounds were detected in the methanol extract than in the ethyl acetate or n-hexane extracts.

Abstract

P3HT:PCBM-based polymer solar cells have demonstrated potential as an affordable substitute for conventional silicon-based photovoltaics. The performance of P3HT:PCBM bulk heterojunction solar cells is examined in this work in relation to the annealing temperature and the composition of the active layer. The morphology of the active layer was characterized using SEM, while the electrical properties were measured using current-voltage (I-V) characterization. Our findings show that 150°C is the ideal annealing temperature, resulting in the maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 2.58%. SEM analysis revealed that this temperature produces the most homogeneous surface morphology. Additionally, a P3HT:PCBM ratio of 3:1 resulted in the best device performance, with a PCE of 4.36%. Short-circuit current and open-circuit voltage increase when the blend's P3HT level increases. These results offer important information for optimizing the production of P3HT:PCBM-based polymer solar cells, which could lead to increased organic photovoltaic device efficiency and possible commercial outcomes.

Abstract

This study investigates the effects of temperature and monomer concentration on tannic acid polymerization to enhance dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) efficiency. Tannic acid was polymerized using Trimethylolpropane Triglycidyl Ether (TMPGDE) as a crosslinker, with monomer concentrations of 2, 2.5, and 3 grams and temperatures ranging from 30°C to 110°C. UV-Vis analysis revealed a bathochromic shift in poly-tannic acid, indicating increased light absorption in the 200-800 nm range. FTIR confirmed the formation of new ether groups, signifying successful polymerization. The highest DSSC efficiency (8.984%) was achieved with 2.5 grams of monomer at 50°C, significantly outperforming unpolymerized tannic acid (1.35%). The optimal poly-tannic acid has an average molecular weight of 32,610.1568 and a polymerization degree of 19.182. This research demonstrates the potential of tannic acid polymerization for improving DSSC performance, paving the way for more efficient and cost-effective organic solar cells.

Abstract

Utilizing recycled plastics is a crucial strategy for reducing waste and developing sustainable materials. Most of the recycled polypropylene (PP) in the industry is from reprocessed scrap. In contrast, this study explores a more challenging feedstock: post-consumer water cups collected by waste pickers, representing an environmentally impactful pathway. The recycled PP was combined with teak wood dust, an abundant lignocellulosic byproduct, antioxidant additives (Irganox 1010, Irgafos 168), and polypropylene-grafted-maleic anhydride (PPgMA) as a coupling agent to produce composites for the potential automotive component industry. Teak wood dust was added at 0–20 wt% to evaluate its influence on the thermal and mechanical performances. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) analysis confirmed that recycled PP maintained the functional groups similar to virgin PP, supporting its recyclability. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) showed decreasing enthalpy of fusion (101 to 91 J/g) and crystallinity (48% to 44%), indicating the disruption of crystalline packing by teak wood dust filler. The composites exhibited improved flexural strength and modulus with increasing filler content, attaining maximum values of 56.2 MPa and 2,132.9 MPa at 20 wt%. However, Izod impact strength decreased from 564 J/m (0 wt%) to ~300 J/m (20 wt%), indicating a trade-off between stiffness and toughness. Despite this reduction, all composites exceeded the minimum Izod impact strength requirement for automotive polypropylene copolymers (≥75 J/m, SNI 8432:2022). Overall, this study highlights the feasibility of valorizing both post-consumer plastic waste and wood dust into functional, sustainable composites for automotive components.

Abstract

The potential of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from dadih, a traditional fermented buffalo milk from West Sumatra, was explored as functional starter cultures for yogurt production. The use of local LAB is considered essential due to Indonesia’s dependence on imported cultures, which often exhibit inconsistent performance and suboptimal quality. This study selected bacterial isolates based on their ability to grow in highly acidic media and their tolerance to bile salt treatment. Molecular identification was conducted by amplifying the 16S rRNA gene using the PCR method. Specific LAB isolates with high probiotic potential were further characterized based on their tolerance to acid and bile salts. The results showed that several LAB strains from dadih, such as Lactococcus lactis, Weissella paramesenteroides, and Weissella sp., exhibited good probiotic properties. These isolates could effectively ferment milk and produce yogurt with organoleptic qualities comparable to commercial cultures. In addition, Serratia marcescens, known as an opportunistic pathogen, was also detected during the isolation process; some of its strains are known to participate in fermentation processes. These findings support the utilization of local LAB as an alternative to imported cultures, promoting local food production, improving the nutritional value of fermented dairy products, and preserving traditional culinary heritage.

Abstract

Materials with nanoscale dimensions have recently attracted attention due to their outstanding electrical, magnetic, and dielectric capabilities. Electromagnetic materials, known as spinel ferrite MFe2O4 (M = divalent ion), are essential in advanced technology. Cadmium-substituted ferrite spinel with composition Ni1-xCdxFe2O4 (x = 0, 0.1, 0.15, and 0.2) was synthesized by the autocombustion method using citric acid as a fuel agent. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) confirms that the spinel structure is present in the prepared nanocrystalline ferrites. Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra showed intensive absorption bands in the 400-600 cm-¹ range corresponding to tetrahedral and octahedral sites. The absorption spectrum of FTIR shifts towards lower wave numbers as the Cd2+ ion concentration increases. Cd2+ ions doping is important for crystal growth, as evidenced by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images. The band gap energy values of Ni1-xCdxFe2O4 samples are 1.53 eV, 1.46 eV, 1 43eV, 1.42 eV for x=0-0.2, which indicates the samples absorb in visible light. Analysis of magnetic properties with Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) shows a small hysteresis loop, so Ni1-xCdxFe2O4 is a soft magnetic material. The dielectric constant increases as the Cd2+ ion concentration increases. The characterization outcomes recommend that the compounds can be used for several applications such as memory, and energy storage devices.
