The aim of this study is to obtain characteristics of ammonium perchlorate particle that used in Rocket Technology Center (LAPAN). Characterization begin from the determination of particle size distribution with Particle Size Analyzer. The SEM is used to obtain information about the morphology of AP, furthermore, the results are reprocessed using ImageJ software to analyze the shape of AP particle, and the Surface area was obtained by using BET. Characteristic of AP such as particle size, shape, and surface area are important parameters because those are directly related to propellant combustion energy. Ammonium perchlorate was procured from China, South Korea, and Indonesia with a particle size of 200µm From this study, the particle size of APC200, APH200 and API200 was obtained, which are 265 µm, 236 µm, and 242 µm, with particle shape aggregate value of 0,68, 0,38 and 0,33, roundness of 0,57, 0,79,0,63, and surface area of 1,104 m2/g, 5,561 m2/g, and 2,972 m2/g.

The effect of milling time and sintering process on the dielectric properties of BaTiO3-based X9R ceramics was investigated. The characterization of the raw powders and the sintered ceramic was carried out by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The particle size distribution of the mixed powders was examined by Laser Particle Size Analyzer. The results shown that with the milling time extended, the Cruie Peak was depressed, or even disappeared. Moreover, with the rise of sintering temperature, the dielectric constant of the ceramics increased and the dielectric loss decreased gradually. Eventually, by milling for 11h and sintering at 1090°Cfor 2h, good dielectric properties were obtained, which were ε25°C≥ 2526, εr/εr25°C≤± 12% (–55~200°C), tanδ≤1.12% (25°C).

In this study, a amphiphilic copolymer, poly ((N-isopropylacrylamide)-co-acrylamide-co- (octadecylacrylate)-co-(Falate-(polyethyleneglycol)-(acrylicacid)))(P(NIPA-co-AAm-co-ODA-co-FPA)) micelles was synthesized by free radical random copolymerization. The obtained amphiphilic copolymers were self-assembled into micelles, which exhibited thermally sensitivity. LCST of the micelles was detected by uv-vis spectrophotometer. The diameter and morphology of micelles were determined by laser particle size analyzer (LPSA) and transmittance electron microscope (TEM), respectively. The micelle with a diameter of 60 nm and LCST of 40 oC was obtained by utilizing of ODA and the feed ratio of NIPA and AAm, respectively, which is satisfied for drug delivery in living body. The maximum DLC was achieved with the amount of ODA (180mg).

Silver nanoparticles have been synthesized by reduction method using extract of Muntingia calabura L. leaf a bioreductor. The process of silver nanoparticles formation was monitored by UV-Vis method. The results showed that the absorbance values increased according to the increase of reaction time. Maximum absorption of silver nanoparticle was obtained at a wavelength of 41-421 nm. The size of silver nanoparticles was determined using a PSA (Particle Size Analyzer) with a particle size distribution of 97.04 nm. The functional groups compound that contribute in the synthesis was analyzed using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Morphology of the silver nanoparticles was observed by an Scanning Electron Microscope instrument and the structure characterization of the compounds were analyzed using X-Ray Diffraction.

In present work, ceria microspheres were synthesized by template hydrothermal method. Crystalline form of the as-synthesized ceria microspheres was defined by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Dispersibility of ceria microspheres was comprehensively characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation and laser particle size analyzer. Furthermore, the ultraviolet light absorption performances of ceria microspheres with several different sizes were compared by ultraviolet visible spectrophotometer. The results showed that ceria microspheres presented excellent UV absorbent property and the size influence was remarkable.

AbstractThe specific surface area (SSA) is considered an essential microstructural parameter for the characterization of snow. Photography in the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum is sensitive to the SSA. We calculated the snow reflectance from calibrated NIR images of snow-pit walls and measured the SSA of samples obtained at the same locations. This new method is used to map the snow stratigraphy. The correlation between reflectance and SSA was found to be 90%. Calibrated NIR photography allows quantitative determination of SSA and its spatial variation in a snow profile in two dimensions within an uncertainty of 15%. In an image covering 0.5–1.0 m2, even layers of 1mm thickness can be documented and measured. Spatial maps of SSA are an important tool in initializing and validating physical and chemical models of the snowpack.

<p>A composite of γ-alumina and activated carbon made of cassava peels was studied in terms of its pore structures and its properties. The objective of this study was to determine the interaction and structure, as well as the character and pore size of γ-alumina – activated carbon composite.</p><p>Carbon made of cassava peels was activated by H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> and its activities were tested according to the Indonesian Industrial Standards (SII). The addition of activated carbon into γ-alumina made in variations of 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 % w/w, of the total weight of 10 grams. The composite of γ-alumina - activated carbon was characterized by FTIR, SAA (Surface Area Analyzer), XRD, and determination of Hysteresis Loop composites.</p>The greater addition of activated carbon to γ-alumina causes intermolecular interactions between –O-H groups form rehydrated hydrogen bonds in the composite is greater. The structure of γ-alumina in the composites remain intact although the percentage of activated carbon in composite is large. The total pore volume and surface area using the BET method of the composite decreases with increasing activated carbon percentage. The greater addition of activated carbon to γ-alumina causes size of mesoporous composites decreased with the characteristic of a composite formed is closer to the activated carbon.

Nano kaolin is product from kaolin also known as white clay. Kaolin was established as supplementary cementitious materials in concrete. The inclusion of kaolin in concrete enhances strength and durability properties and prolongs concrete life span. In this research, nanokaolin will be develop by using sol gel technique by that involves high energy milling. The process of milling been influenced by time of milling, ball and jar type. Ceramic type Zirconia (Zi) is been used as jar and ball type in this process. Time of milling was set from four (4) hours and one (1) days. Sample will be analyse by using particle size analyser to see the particle size and surface area of kaolin. From the result shows the optimum milling period for nanokaolin is one day base on particle size compare to 4 hours. Furthermore, one day milling produces a massive increment of surface area compare to others. In conclusion, one day can be considered as the optimum cycle time in the production of nano kaolin.
