The biodegradable microcapsules based ethyl cellulose (EC) for a controlled delivery of Argy Wormwood solution (AWS) were prepared by emulsionsolvent evaporation method using ethyl acetate as solvent. This study examined the effect of the ratios of core to shell on the size of microcapsules. SEM images of microcapsules showed uniform spherical structures with smooth surfaces with a particle size distribution of 100nm2μm. Core-shell, hetero-structures were confirmed using optical micrograph. The chemical structure of the microcapsules was determined by FTIR.

Rutile pigments Ti1-3xCrxNb2xO2±δ (where x=0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, 0.30 and 0.50) prepared by solid-state reaction are investigated. Chromium is chromophore (coloring ion) and niobium is counterion (charge-compensating element for electroneutrality). The effect of composition (x), calcination temperature (850, 900, 950, 1000, 1050, 1100 and 1150°C), and starting titanium compounds (anatase TiO2, hydrated anatase paste, TiOSO4·2H2O, and hydrated Na2Ti4O9 paste) on their color properties into organic matrix and particle size distribution was observed. According to the highest chroma C and visual color evaluation, yellow and orange pigments were selected as in color the most interesting. They have concentration x=0.05 or 0.10 and are prepared from anatase TiO2 and TiOSO4·2H2O at temperature ≥1050°C.

Multiferroic BiFeO3 powders were synthesized by two methods: sol-gel process and hydrothermal method. The synthesized powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (SEM) and particle size distribution analysis. The results obtained by XRD, which is consistent with 86-1518 JCPDS card, show that powders prepared by hydrothermal method are composed of the single phase with the trigonal structure (perovskite-type). It can be found by particle size distribution analysis that the particle size of the samples prepared by sol-gel process is finer and more uniform than that of the samples synthesized by the hydrothermal method. The SEM images of samples depicts that the synthesized BiFeO3 powders are united and the average grain size of hydrothermal processed samples is significantly large as compared to the sol-gel derived sample.

Li4Ti5O12 pure and Li4Ti5O12 with Na and Al doped Li(3-x/3)AlxNaTi(5-2x/3)O12 (x=0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075) as anodes for Li-ion batteries are synthesized at 850°C via solid state reaction using Li2CO3, TiO2-anatase, Al2O3 and Na2CO3 as precursor. The effect of substitution of Al and Na in Li4Ti5O12 on characterization of precursor and electrochemical performance is studied. It is found that Na doped in Li4Ti5O12 pure affected the formation of three phase i.e NaLiTi3O7, Li4Ti5O12, dan Li2TiO3. Meanwhile, Al doped contributed to the formation of NaLiTi3O7 phase significantly. The SEM images show that the particles have polyhedral shape with uniform size distribution. Na doped in the Li4Ti5O12 affected particle size become larger against Al doped particle size become smaller than undoped material, the best particle size measured by PSA is 30,89 . All characterization of material will determine the electrochemical performance of Li-ion battery.
