Sebuah penelitian tentang sistem dispersi padat dari asiklovir dengan poloxamer 188 telah dilakukan formulasi dengan pencampuran secara fisika dengan rasio 1 : 1, 1 : 3, 1 : 5 dan dispersi padat 1 : 1, 1 : 3, 1 : 5 dan penggilingan 1:1 sebagai pembanding. Dispersi padat dibuat menggunakan metode pencairan (fusi), yang digabung dengan poloxamer 188 pada hotplate kemudian asiklovir dimasukkan ke dalam hasil poloxamer 188 lalu di kocok hingga membentuk masa homogen. Semua formula yang terbentuk termasuk asiklovir poloxamer 188 murni dianalisis karakterisasinya dengan Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA), X-ray Diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), dan Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), kemudian pengambilan dilakukan  (penentuan kadar) mengunakan spektrofotometer UV pada panjang gelombang 257,08 nm dan uji laju disolusi dengan aquadest bebas CO2 menggunakan metode dayung. Hasil pengambilan  (penentuan kadar) menunjukkan bahwa semua formula memenuhi persyaratan farmakope Amerika edisi 30 dan farmakope Indonesia edisi 4 yaitu 95-110%. Sedangkan hasil uji laju disolusi untuk campuran fisik 1: 1, dan dispersi padat 1: 1, dan penggilingan 1: 1 menunjukkan peningkatan yang nyata dibandingkan asiklovir murni. Hal ini juga dapat dilihat dari hasil perhitungan statistik  menggunakan analisis varian satu arah  SPSS 17.

Tributyl borate was first adopted for the introduction of boron in the preparation of bioactive borosilicate xerogel by sol-gel method. The xerogel reacted continuously in 0.25M K2HPO4 solution with a starting pH value of 7.0 at 37 °C for 1day. The structural, morphologies and compositional changes resulting from the conversion were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results indicated that speed of formation of HA was cut way back on the time with the addition of boron and the induction period for the HA nucleation on the surface of the borosilicate xerogel was short than 1 days. The conversion mechanism of the borosilicate xerogels to hydroxyapaptite was also discussed.

Magnesite (MgCO3) is the main source for production of magnesium and its compound. In Indonesia, magnesite is quite rare and can be only found in limited amount in Padamarang Island, Southeast Sulawesi Provence. Thus the properties of magnesite and the reactivity degree of the obtained product are of technological importance. The aim of this work was to analyze the characteristics of Padamarang magnesite under calcination and hydrothermal treatment processes. The processes were carried out at various temperatures with range of 150-900°C for 30 minutes. The solids were characterized with respect to their chemical and physical properties by using scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). SEM image indicates that magnesite was formed from thin and flat hexagon sheets. The FTIR and XRD analysis disclose that MgO formed at temperature above 300°C, where as the magnesite sample also lost its mass around 50%. These results demonstrate that Padamarang magnesite decomposes to magnesium oxide and carbon dioxide at high temperature.Magnesit (MgCO3) merupakan sumber utama untuk produksi magnesium dan senyawa-senyawanya. Di Indonesia, magnesit cukup jarang dan hanya dapat ditemukan dalam jumlah yang terbatas di Pulau Padamarang, Propinsi Sulawesi Tenggara. Oleh karena itu sifat magnesit dan derajat reaktivitas dari produk-produk magnesit penting untuk diketahui. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis karakteristik magnesit Padamarang dengan perlakuan kalsinasi dan hidrothermal.  Proses dilakukan pada temperatur yang bervariasi dari 150-900°C selama 30 menit. Sifat kimia dan fisika dari magnesit dikarakterisasi dengan menggunakan scanning electron microscopy dengan energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), dan X-ray diffraction (XRD). Gambar dari analisis SEM menunjukkan bahwa magnesit terbentuk dari lembaran-lembaran heksagonal yang tipis dan datar. Hasil analisis dengan FTIR dan XRD menunjukkan bahwa MgO terbentuk pada temperatur diatas 300°C, dimana sampel magnesit juga kehilangan massanya sekitar 50% pada suhu tersebut. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa Magnesit Padamarang terdekomposisi menjadi magnesium oksida dan karbon dioksida pada temperatur tinggi.

Crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) cable has been widely used and studied with its specific failure mechanism. Among them, although thermal aging of XLPE insulation materials has been widely studied, the effect of accelerated thermal aging on the sulfur corrosion of XLPE cable has not been studied much. For further understand the mechanism of sulfur corrosion, the accelerated thermal aging method was taken with 200 mg/kg DBDS based on the distinguish of temperature. The macro and micro analysis contrast test before and after corrosion were also taken to investigate the morphology difference, the element distribution, the influence of thermal aging and DBDS addition the corrosion of copper core, and the assessment of insulation layer was also carried out by Fourier transform infrared spectra and spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy to distinguish the microstructure and composition. Under the accelerated thermal aging experiment with DBDS, both copper core and insulation layer of sample No. 1 exhibit the most serious corrosion and aging condition. On the surface of the copper core, the DBDS-Cu complexes decompose to produce Cu2S and the temperature has a direct effect on this reaction. The insulation layer of sample No. 1 showed the most severe aging situation, with characteristic peaks of carbonyl appearing at 1720 cm-1 in the Fourier transform infrared tests and more defects, holes and cracks found in spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy images.

Industri tekstil semakin berkembang seiring dengan pertumbuhan penduduk di Indonesia. Selain memberikan manfaat, industri tekstil  memberikan dampak negatif bagi lingkungan akibat penggunaan zat warna sintetis, salah satunya yaitu methyl violet. Apabila limbah tersebut dibuang ke perairan akan menyebabkan rusaknya ekologi lingkungan dan ancaman bagi kesehatan manusia, karena sebagian besar zat warna bersifat sukar terurai (non-bidegradable) dan karsinogenik (Brono, 2010). Salah satu metode yang terbukti efektif untuk menghilangkan zat warna adalah adsorpsi menggunakan karbon aktif. Pada penelitian ini karbon aktif dibuat dari limbah daun nanas dengan aktivator ZnCl2 dan pemanasan gelombang mikro. Selanjutnya, karbon aktif tersebut dikarakteriasi morfologi permukaan menggunakan Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), luas permukaan menggunakan Surface Area Analyzer, dan analisis gugus fungsi menggunakan Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer, dan digunakan untuk menjerap methyl violet di larutan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa karbon aktif dari limbah daun nanas yang teraktivasi ZnCl2 menghasilkan pori yang lebih besar dibandingkan dengan karbon tanpa aktivasi serta memiliki gugus fungsi yang dapat menjerap methyl violet. Kondisi optimum untuk adsorpsi adalah pH 5, waktu kontak 90 menit, dan konsentrasi awal 500 mg/L. Model kesetimbangan yang sesuai yaitu menggunakan model isotherm freundlich.

An experimental adhesive incorporated with different nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HA) particle concentrations was synthesized and analyzed for dentin interaction, micro-tensile bond strength (μTBS), and degree of conversion (DC). n-HA powder (5 wt % and 10 wt %) were added in adhesive to yield three groups; gp-1: control experimental adhesive (CEA, 0 wt % HA), gp-2: 5 wt % n-HA (HAA-5%), and gp-3: 10 wt % n-HA (HAA-10%). The morphology of n-HA spheres was evaluated using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Their interaction in the adhesives was identified with SEM, Energy-Dispersive X-ray (EDX), and Micro-Raman spectroscopy. Teeth were sectioned, divided in study groups, and assessed for μTBS and failure mode. Employing Fourier Transform-Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, the DC of the adhesives was assessed. EDX mapping revealed the occurrence of oxygen, calcium, and phosphorus in the HAA-5% and HAA-10% groups. HAA-5% had the greatest μTBS values followed by HAA-10%. The presence of apatite was shown by FTIR spectra and Micro-Raman demonstrated phosphate and carbonate groups for n-HA spheres. The highest DC was observed for the CEA group followed by HAA-5%. n-HA spheres exhibited dentin interaction and formed a hybrid layer with resin tags. HAA-5% demonstrated superior μTBS compared with HAA-10% and control adhesive. The DC for HAA-5% was comparable to control adhesive.
