Due to its pronounced osteoinductive properties, calcium hydroxyapatite (HAp) has been widely used in medicine. Bioresorptive poly-L-lactide (PLLA) as a polymer biomaterial has been also used extensively in medicine for its non-toxicity and biocompatibility. To combine the advantages exhibited by each of these materials, a HAp/PLLA composite biomaterial has been synthesized and used for reconstruction and repair of bone defects. Hydroxyapatite/poly-L-lactide (HAp/PLLA) composite biomaterial with PLLA of 50,000 and 430,000 g/mole molecular weight was studiedin vivo. The biocomposite with PLLA of both molecular weights was implanted into mice, then removed from their organisms and analyzed by the Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and histopathologic analysis. Characteristic absorption bands, registered and defined by FT-IR spectroscopy, confirm the formation of new functional groups and compounds during the bone repair process using HAp/PLLA biocomposite with PLLA of 50,000 and 430,000 molecular weights. Analysis of the microstructures of the sample surfaces by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) before and after implantation revealed bioresorption of the PLLA polymer phase in the system with PLLA of lower molecular weight and generation of collagen fibers at the sites of implanted bioresorptive PLLA. As the studied synthetic materials behave as the natural bone, i.e., they are phagocytosed and resorpable, they can be considered as biocompatible.

Poly(N-(9-fluorenylmethoxycarbony)-glycine) (PFG) film was first synthesized on platinum wire by direct anodic oxidation of N-(9-fluorenylmethoxycarbony)-glycine (FG) in boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (BFEE). The oxidation potential of FG in BFEE was only 0.4 V vs. Pt. Therefore, BFEE can be an ideal supporting electrolyte for polymerization of FG. Scanning electron microscopy showed the morphology of PFG. The structure of PFG film was studied by FT-IR spectroscopy.

The effect of milling on structure of kaolinite-urea intercalates were studied. Untreated and treated kaolinite samples were examined by Field scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The basal spacing of kaolinite measured by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) increased from 1.02 to 3.62 nm after intercalation by urea. Significantly, nature of intercalation was reached through formation of hydrogen bonds between urea and both Si-O and AlOH groups of the interlayer surface of kaolinite.

<p>Pada penelitian ini telah dilakukan isolasi dan karakterisasi bentonit alam menjadi nanopartikel montmorillonit. Bentonit alam yang digunakan diambil dari desa Blangdalam, Kecamatan Nisam Kabupaten Aceh Utara.  Proses isolasi meliputi proses pelarutan dengan aquades, ultrasonic dan proses sedimentasi. Untuk mengetahui karakterisasi montmorillonit dilakukan uji FT-IR, X-RD dan uji morfologi permukaan dengan Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Partikel size analyzer untuk menganalisis dan menentukan ukuran nanopartikel dari isolasi bentonit alam. Dari hasil penelitian didapat ukuran nanopartikel montmorillonit hasil isolasi dari bentonit alam diperoleh berdiameter rata-rata 82,15 nm.</p><p><em>In this research we have isolated and characterized natural bentonite into montmorillonite nanoparticles.

Bovine bone is a considerable source for the production of hydroxyapatite. The recent study reported a novel method to extract hydroxyapatite from bovine bone without producing hazardous residue. The bovine bones were cut and boiled in the opened chamber followed by boiling in pressurized tank. The bones were then soaked into 95% ethanol. Calcination was then conducted in 800°C, 900°C and 1,000°C, for 2 hours. The result was then grinded and sieved. The powder then was characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) to measure the purity of hydroxyapatite. It is concluded that the hydroxyapatite derived from this process showed 100% purity, resulting 35.34 ± 0.39% w/w from the wet bone weight and 72.3% w/w from the dried weight. The present extraction method has been proven to yield high amount of pure hydroxyapatite as well as reducing the use of hazardous reagent.

AbstractThe difficulties in processing of petroleum-based plastic waste had encouraged the development of biodegradable plastics polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA). Researchers isolated the PHA-producing microorganisms from various sources to obtain new species with high PHA production capability. In addition, the high cost of PHA production might be overcome by using carbon-rich waste, such as palm oil mill effluent (POME). This research conducted characterization of produced PHA and optimization of PHA production in POME. In previous research, three potential isolates were obtained, which are one Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolate and two Bacillus subtilis isolates. Analysis of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) showed the presence of PHA accumu-lation within the bacterial cell. The results of Spectra of Fourier Transform Infra Red Spectroscopy (FT-IR) revealed differences in C-C and C-H alipathic regions of PHA produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus subtilis. Optimum production of PHA was obtained using POME at concentration of 50-25% during 6 days of incubation time in an enriched media pretreatment.Abstrak Sulitnya pengolahan limbah plastik berbasis minyak bumi mendorong pengembangan plastik biodegradable poli-hidroksialkanoat (PHA). Beberapa peneliti mengisolasi mikroorganisme penghasil  PHA dari berbagai sumber karena diharapkan akan diperoleh spesies baru dengan kemampuan produksi PHA yang tinggi. Selain itu kendala tingginya biaya produksi PHA dapat diatasi dengan peman-faatan limbah yang kaya akan  karbon, seperti limbah cair pabrik kelapa sawit (LCPKS). Pada penelitian ini dilakukan karakterisasi PHA yang dihasilkan dan optimasi produksi PHA pada LCPKS. Pada penelitian sebelumnya telah diperoleh  tiga isolat potensial, yaitu : satu isolat  Pseudo-monas aeruginosa dan dua isolat  Bacillus subtilis.  Analisis Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) dan Transmission Electon Microscopy (TEM) menunjukkan adanya akumulasi PHA di dalam sel bakteri. Dari hasil analisis FT-IR disimpulkan bahwa senyawa PHA yang dihasilkan Pseudo-monas aeruginosa  berbeda dengan  Bacillus subtilisyang ditandai   perbedaan   pada  spectra   gugus  C-C  dan   C-H alifatik.  Produksi optimum PHA diperoleh pada konsentrasi LCPKS 50-25%, waktu inkubasi  enam hari dan optima-lisasi pertumbuhan pada media kaya di awal untuk mening-katkan populasi mikroba.
