Nickel manganite nanocrystalline fibers were obtained by electrospinning and subsequent calcination at 400 °C. As-spun fibers were characterized by TG/DTA, Scanning Electron Microscopy and FT-IR spectroscopy analysis. X-ray diffraction and FT-IR spectroscopy analysis confirmed the formation of nickel manganite with a cubic spinel structure, while N2 physisorption at 77 K enabled determination of the BET specific surface area as 25.3 m2/g and (BJH) mesopore volume as 21.5 m2/g. The material constant (B) of the nanocrystalline nickel manganite fibers applied by drop-casting on test interdigitated electrodes on alumina substrate, dried at room temperature, was determined as 4379 K in the 20–50 °C temperature range and a temperature sensitivity of −4.95%/K at room temperature (25 °C). The change of impedance with relative humidity was monitored at 25 and 50 °C for a relative humidity (RH) change of 40 to 90% in the 42 Hzπ1 MHz frequency range. At 100 Hz and 25 °C, the sensitivity of 327.36 ± 80.12 kΩ/%RH was determined, showing that nickel manganite obtained by electrospinning has potential as a multifunctional material for combined humidity and temperature sensing.

Variable fluorescence (Fv), i.e., Fv = Fm - F0 where F0 is the minimal fluorescence and Fm the maximum fluorescence, and difference Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy were used to study the effect of heat stress in the 25-55 °C range on photosystem II (PSII) structure and function. First, the Fv intensity reflects accurately the changes in the number of open photochemical centers in PSII. Secondly, the use of Fv in combination with FT-IR spectroscopy can disclose structure-function correlations in the heat inactivation of the PSII complex. Analysis of the midpoint temperatures of thermal denaturation, i.e., 50% inactivation, reported so far in investigations of the thylakoid membrane components has revealed that most of the thermal transitions attributed to PSII are in the 39 -46 °C range. In this work, it is shown specifically that the midpoint temperature of PSII inactivation is at about 40 °C. Moreover, it was clearly demonstrated that the heat-induced changes above 40 °C are the result of a marked decrease in the number of open photochemical centers in PSII. It was also seen that above this same temperature the loss of photochemical centers has its structural counterpart in overall modifications of the secondary structures of the PSII proteins resulting from the decrease in the α-helix content concomitant with the increase in extended chain (β-strand) conformations. In brief, a novel finding reported here is that the number of open photochemical centers in PSII is dependent on a dynamic equilibrium between the contents of the PSII proteins in α-helix and extended chains (β-strands), but not in β-sheets and β-turn structures except for the antiparallel-β-sheet conformations. This therefore associates the thermal inactivation of the photochemical centers in photosystem II with distinct conformational changes in the proteins of the PSII supramolecular complex. In the particular context of the present study, these findings constitute a significant contribution to the investigation of structure-function correlations in the photosynthetic membrane. In a broader context, this information might be essential for the comprehension of the molecular arrangements or local structure order that are involved directly or indirectly in biological catalysis

Polymerization between polyol and isocyanate compounds produces polyurethane in different forms. Polyol used in this study utilized spoiled avocado as the oil source for polyol to produce polyurethane. Avocado oil was epoxidized with formic acid (HCOOH) and H2SO4 catalyst at 40 – 45oC followed by hydrolysis reaction to produce polyol reaction. Next polyol was purified and structure confirmation was done using FT-IR spectroscopy analysis. Polyol was then reacted with diphenylmethane 4,4 diisocyanate (MDI) with ratios of (polyol : MDI) 9:1; 8:2; 7:3; 6:4; and 5:5 (v/v) in a total volume of 10 mL with open air stirring at 40 – 45oC to produce polyurethane. Characterization for the form was observed visually followed by the determination of gel content, density and structure using FT-IR spectroscopy. The results of polyol from avocado oil reacted with diphenylmethane 4,4 diisocyanate for each of the mixing ratio to produce polyurethane is gel content of 74.63% to 99.80% where the higher MDI ratio is, the higher gel content becomes. Density determination from the polyurethane produced is between 0.1341 g/cm3 to 0.7220 g/cm3. FT-IR spectrometer analysis to polyurethane produced is marked with the peaks at 3400 – 3300 cm-1, 2270 – 1940 cm-1, 1700-1600 cm-1 and 1590 – 1540 cm-1 wavelengths which are the characteristic of urethane functional groups.

Cellulose was isolated from plantain skin and then carboxymethylated with trichloroacetic acid which resulted a 0.9936 gram of carboxymethylcellulose. The FT-IR spectroscopy analysis of carboxymethyltricellulose indicated the –OH vibration at wavelength of 3448.72 cm-1.Moreover, a wavenumber in the region of 1026.13 cm-1 is attributed to ether vibration (-O-) and carboxyl vibration at 1651.07 cm-1. The results of morphological analysis using SEM also showed a smoother, homogeneous pore, and a larger surface area. The adsorption capability for Cu2+ ions at concentration of 100 ppm was analyzed by atomic adsorption spectrophotometer (AAS). It shows that the optimum adsorption was found to be at a 90 minutes agitation process for both carboxymethyltricellulose and cellulose with about 97.266% and 21.602% respectively.

Cellulose from paper pulp was alkalized with NaOH 30%; then carboxymethylated with monochloroacetic acid producing carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). CMC resins was subsequently alkalized again with NaOH 30% producing sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (Na-CMC) before esterification/amination reaction with epichlorohydrin/ethylendiamine. Esterification/amination reaction with epichlorohidrin/ethylendiamine was carried out in two steps as well. Na-CMC was reacted with epichlorohydrin, and in the second step, 2-oxiranylmethyl carboxymethyl cellulose was reacted with ethylendiamine producing cellulose-g-epichlorohydrin/ethylendiamine. FT-IR spectroscopy analysis indicated CN Amine vibration in the region 1417 cm-1 and in the 1600 cm-1 region attributed to vibration of C=O group. Morphological analysis using SEM showed homogeneous and porous at their structure.
