 Abstrak. Dalam rangka mengurangi pemakaian bahan kimia berbahaya, kini telah mulai dikembangkan penggunaan bahan alami pada proses pembentukan nanopartikel. Pada penelitian ini, biosintesis nanopartikel ZnO dilakukan menggunakan ekstrak kulit Ananas comosus sebagai agen capping sekaligus agen pereduksi. Seng nitrat digunakan sebagai prekursor dari ion seng, sedangkan kulit nanas dibuat menjadi ekstrak untuk dimanfaatkan kandungan antioksidannya. Sampel ZnO dipelajari sifat fisisnya dari hasil karakterisasi X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) dan spektroskopi UV-Vis. Berdasarkan pola XRD, nanopartikel ZnO memberikan fasa kristal heksagonal wurtzite dengan ukuran kristal 14 nm. Morfologi SEM masing-masing sampel didapatkan berbentuk bunga atau micro-nanoflower dengan ukuran diameter rata-rata 510 nm dan 560 nm untuk sampel 0,01 M dan 0,025 M. Hasil spektrum absorbansi UV-Vis menunjukkan peningkatan puncak penyerapan cahaya dengan penambahan konsentrasi seng nitrat. Berdasarkan informasi sifat fisis ini, sampel ZnO berpotensi diaplikasikan sebagai material fotokatalis.Abstract. In order to reduce the use of hazardous chemicals, the use of natural ingredients has now been developed in the process of forming nanoparticles. In this study, biosynthesis of ZnO nanoparticles was carried out using Ananas comosus peel extract as capping agent and reducing agent. Zinc nitrate was used as a precursor to zinc ion. The physical properties of ZnO samples were studied from the characterization result of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-Vis spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The SEM morphology of each different sample was obtained in the form of micro-nanoflower with an average diameter  of 510 nm and 560 nm for 0.01 M and 0.025 M samples, respectively. The UV-Vis absorbance spectrum results showed an increase in the light absorption peak as  zinc nitrate concentration increased. According to the XRD pattern, the ZnO nanoparticles possessed an hexagonal wurtzite crystal phase with a crystal size of 14 nm. Based on this information on physical properties, the ZnO sample has the potential to be applied as a photocatalyst material.

In this work, chamotte with dispersions of up to 30wt% zircon is sintered at 1500 °C to investigate the effect of zircon content on the microstructure and physical properties of chamotte refractories. The microstructure and physical properties of samples are investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), three-point bending and dilatometer. The result shows that the main phases of chamotte with and without sintering at 1500 °C are mullite and cristobalite, the addition of zircon has no impact on the main phase compositions of chamotte matrix. For the sintered samples, zircon grains are wrapped with glass and no obvious bonding are detected between the interface of zircon and mullite grains. Increasing zircon content leads to the increase in bulk density and has a negative effect on the flexural strength, besides, linear thermal expansion ratio decreases as the zircon content increases.

<p>Selulosa merupakan salah satu biopolimer melimpah yang banyak digunakan dalam berbagai bidang seperti kertas, energi dan material komposit. Hidrofilisitas, dapat diperbaharui, ramah lingkungan dan aman adalah sifat-sifat selulosa yang dapat berpotensi menjadi material maju. Berdasarkan sifat-sifatnya, selulosa dapat dimodifikasi untuk menghasilkan sifat fungsional yang sesuai dengan aplikasinya. Dalam penelitian ini, selulosa mikrokristalin (MCC) dimodifikasi melalui metode hidrolisis asam. Prinsip metode ini adalah penghilangan bagian <em>amorf</em> pada selulosa oleh asam, meninggalkan bagian kristal. Selain itu, ketika asam digunakan sebagai agen hidrolisis, maka akan menghasilkan muatan permukaan pada selulosa. Dalam penelitian ini, pengaruh berbagai konsentrasi asam pada struktur kimia, kristalinitas, morfologi dan muatan permukaan telah dikaji. Perubahan struktur selulosa dianalisis menggunakan <em>Fourier Transform Infra Red </em>(FTIR), kristalinitas menggunakan <em>X-ray Diffraction</em> (XRD), morfologi menggunakan <em>Scanning Electron Microscopy</em> (SEM) dan muatan permukaan menggunakan titrasi konduktomteri. Hasil analisis FTIR menunjukkan masuknya gugus sulfat pada struktur selulosa. Analisis XRD menunjukkan peningkatan kristallinitas dalam selulosa termodifikasi seiring bertambahnya konsentrasi asam. Hasil analisis morfologi menunjukkan partikel dalam selulosa termodifikasi (CM) lebih tersebar daripada MCC. Analisis titrasi konduktometri menunjukkan bahwa mengalami peningkatan muatan permukaan pada CM seiring dengan bertambahnya konsentrasi asam. Oleh karena itu, dapat disimpulkan bahwa pengaruh konsentrasi asam sulfat pada hidrolisis selulosa memberikan dampak yang signifikan pada sifat fisik dan muatan permukaan.</p><p><strong>Effect of Acid Concentration on Physical Properties and Surface charge of Modified Cellulose</strong>. Cellulose is one of abundant biopolymer that many widely used in various applications such as paper, energy and composite material. Hydrophilicity, renewable, biodegradable, and safety are cellulose properties that can became potential of advance materials. In the utilization, cellulose can be modified its properties for different purposes. In this work, microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was modified by acid hydrolysis method. The principle of this method is removed amorphous region of cellulose by acid and leaving crystalline phase. Moreover, when acid was used as hydrolyzing agent, it produce the surface charge on cellulose. In this research, the effect of various concentration of acid on the chemical structure, crystallinity, morphology and surface charge have studied. The chemical structures were analyzed using Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR), crystallinity using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), morphology using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and surface charge using titration conductometric. The FTIR analysis result has successfully showed the entry of sulfate groups on the cellulose structure. The XRD analysis showed increasing crystallinity in Cellulose Modified (CM) with increase acid concentration. By morphology analysis, particles in CM more disperse than MCC. Analysis of conductometric titration shows that there is an increase in surface charge in CM as acid concentration increases. Thus, the effect of sulfuric acid concentration on hydrolysis of cellulose has a significant impact on physical properties and surface charge.</p>

ZnO nanostructures with different morphology were successfully prepared via a hexamethylendiamine-assisted hydrothermal synthesis route by only adjusting reaction temperature. The prepared ZnO samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high resolution TEM (HRTEM). Results indicated that uniform flake-like ZnO nanoparticles with a similar thickness of about 70 nm and flower-like ZnO nanostructures assembled by prism-like nanorods were prepared at 120 °C and 180 °C, respectively. Possible mechanisms for the formation of ZnO with different morphologies were discussed. The photocatalytic properties of the as-prepared flake-like ZnO nanoparticles and flower-like ZnO nanostructures were studied.

Calcium is an important element in the growth and development of plants and one form of calcium is calcium oxalate. Calcium oxalate has been found in leaf seed, stem material plant tissue culture, fungi and lichen using one or more of the following methods—polarized light microscopy (PLM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and x-ray diffraction.Two methods are presented here for qualitatively estimating calcium oxalate in dried or fixed tobacco (Nicotiana) leaf from different stalk positions using PLM. SEM, coupled with energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry (EDS), and powder x-ray diffraction were used to verify that the crystals observed in the dried leaf with PLM were calcium oxalate.

Gallstones contain precipitated cholesterol, calcium salts, and proteins. Calcium (Ca) bilirubinate, palmitate, phosphate, and carbonate occurring in gallstones have variable morphologies but characteristic windowless energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) spectra. Previous studies of gallstone microstructure and composition using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with EDX have been limited to dehydrated samples. In this state, Ca bilirubinates appear as either glassy masses, which predominate in black pigment stones, or as clusters, which are found mostly in cholesterol gallstones. The three polymorphs of Ca carbonate, calcite, vaterite, and aragonite, have been identified in gallstones by x-ray diffraction, however; the morphologies of these crystals vary in the literature. The purpose of this experiment was to study fresh gallstones by environmental SEM (ESEM) to determine if dehydration affects gallstone Ca salt morphology.Gallstones and bile were obtained fresh at cholecystectomy from 6 patients. To prevent dehydration, stones were stored in bile at 37°C. All samples were studied within 4 days of procurement.

Aim and Objective: Formation of the gallbladder stones is a common disease and a major health problem. The present study aimed to identify the structures of the most common types of gallbladder stones using X-ray spectroscopic techniques, which provide information about the process of stone formation. Material and Method: Phase and elemental compositions of pure cholesterol and mixed gallstones removed from gallbladders of patients were studied using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy combined with scanning electron microscopy analysis and X-ray diffraction. Results: The crystal structures of gallstones which coincide with standard patterns were confirmed by X-ray diffraction. Plate-like cholesterol crystals with laminar shaped and thin layered structures were clearly observed for gallstone of pure cholesterol by scanning electron microscopy; it also revealed different morphologies from mixed cholesterol stones. Elemental analysis of pure cholesterol and mixed gallstones using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy confirmed the different formation processes of the different types of gallstones. Conclusion: The method of fast and reliable X-ray spectroscopic techniques has numerous advantages over the traditional chemical analysis and other analytical techniques. The results also revealed that the X-ray spectroscopy technique is a promising technique that can aid in understanding the pathogenesis of gallstone disease.
