Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) or Laser Sintering (LS) allows functional parts to be produced in a wide range of powdered materials using a dedicated machine, and is thus gaining popularity within the field of Rapid Prototyping (RP). One of the advantages of employing LS is that the loose powder of the building chamber can be recycled. The properties of polymer powder significantly influence the melt viscosity and sintering mechanism during Laser Sintering (LS) processes which results in a good surface finish. The objective of this research is to investigate the chemical composition of fresh polymer materials used in Laser Sintering. There are seven virgin SLS materials which are PA2200, GF3200, Alumide, PrimeCast, PrimePart, Duraflex and CastForm. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to analyze the chemical composition of the materials by using infrared radiation and absorbed frequency. The spectra show that similar functional groups were found in the materials apart from PrimePart and Duraflex. Obtained data from this analysis could be used to investigate on how the fresh and recycled powder materials with different chemical properties would affect the part surface finish.

Samarium doped hydroxyapatite (Ca10−xSmx(PO4)6(OH)2, xSm = 0.5, 50SmHAp) is a very promising candidate to be used for different coatings in various dental and orthopedic implants. We report, for the first time, the obtaining of 50SmHAp thin films by a cost-effective method, namely spin coating. Thin films of 50SmHAp on silicon substrate have been analyzed by various techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), Metallographic microscopy and Glow Discharge Optical Emission Spectroscopy (GDOES). The stability of 50SmHAp suspension was evaluated by ultrasound measurements. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were also used to evaluate the 50SmHAp suspension. The antifungal activity of 50SmHAp suspension and coatings was assessed using Candida albicans ATCC 10231 fungal strain (C. albicans). The results of the antifungal assays depicted that both 50SmHAp suspensions and coatings were effective in inhibiting the development of C. albicans fungal cells, thus making them ideal candidates for the development of novel antifungal agents. The obtained results give new perspective for possible applications of 50SmHAp thin films in various medical applications due to their antifungal properties.

<p class="25mmIndent">Dammar Asphalt (Daspal) is expected to be used as a bio-asphalt renewable binder for road construction. It is made with a modification of the "Jabung", which is the dammar gum based material mixed with grounded red brick debris and low quality cooking oil at a certain ratio. Dammar gum is obtained from the Dipterocarpaceae family of trees in India and East Asia, most are produced by tapping trees. The gum varies in color from clear to pale yellow. Dammar gum is a triterpenoid resin, containing a large number of triterpenes and their oxidation products. Many of them are low molecular weight compounds. The objective of this research is to analyze the chemical properties of Daspal uses a Resonance Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) method to compare with conventional asphalt. The investigation using spectral data showed that all types of Daspal have similar functional groups of Saturate, Aromatic, Resins, and Asphalten as the 60/70 penetration conventional bitumen, so that based on its chemical properties Daspal can be considered as bioaspal.</p>

Saat ini Indonesia masih mengandalkan impor nitroselulosa sebagai bahan baku propelan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mencari komposisi optimum pembuatan nitroselulosa untuk propelan dari bahan baku pulp larut bambu Beema dan Industri sebagai alternatif dari pulp larut kayu. Sebelum proses nitrasi, pulp larut bambu Beema dan bambu Industri mengalami proses perlakuan awal dengan menggunakan willey mill, pulp larut kemudian diayak dan diambil pulp dengan ukuran kurang dari 60 mesh. Pada proses nitrasi, perbandingan bahan kimia yang digunakan adalah formula 1 (HNO3:HNO3 Fumming:H2SO4= 2,5:1:9,5), formula 2 (HNO3:HNO3 Fumming:H2SO4= 3:1:7,5), dan formula 3 (HNO3:HNO3 Fumming:H2SO4= 1:1:1,6). Hasil yang didapatkan pada penelitian ini pulp larut dari bahan baku bambu Beema dengan formula 3 mampu mendapatkan kadar nitrogen tertinggi (12,97%). Analisis Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) menunjukkan adanya gugus nitro dan pada uji bakar juga menunjukkan bahwa nitroselulosa dapat terbakar dengan cepat. Akan tetapi, nilai kelarutan dalam aseton dan eter-alkohol nitroselulosa dari kedua jenis bambu menunjukkan bahwa distribusi kadar nitrogen pada proses nitrasi masih belum memenuhi standar.Kata kunci: bambu, kadar nitrogen, nitroselulosa, pulp larut, propelanCharacterization of Nitrocellulose from Beema Bamboo and Industrial Bamboo Dissolving PulpAbstractCurrently, Indonesia still relies on imports of nitrocellulose as a propellant raw material. The objective of this research is to determine the optimum composition of nitrocellulose making for propellant from Beema bamboo pulp and Industrial bamboo pulp as an alternative of dissolving pulp from wood. Prior to the nitration process, both dissolving pulp of Beema bamboo and industrial undergo a pretreatment process using willey mill, the pulp then sieved and taken with a size less than 60 mesh. In the nitration process, the chemical composition used is  formula 1 (HNO3: HNO3 Fumming: H2SO4 = 2.5: 1: 9.5), formula 2 (HNO3: HNO3 Fumming: H2SO4 = 3: 1: 7,5) and the   formula 3 (HNO3: HNO3 Fumming: H2SO4 = 1: 1: 1,6). Result showed that dissolving pulp from Beema bamboo with third formula get the highest nitrogen content (12,97%). Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR)  analysis showed that all of the nitrocellulose have nitro group and with burning test also proved that nitrocellulose can be rapidly burdened. However, the solubility of  nitrocellulose in acetone and ethers-alcohols indicates that the distribution of nitrogen content in the nitration process is not meet the standard yet. Keywords: bamboo, nitrogen content, nitrocellulose, dissolving pulp, propellant

In the present study we have investigated the chemical composition of the essential oils extracted by the procedure of hydrodistillation, from fresh flowers of Matricaria Chamomilla L. and Achillea Millefolium from Romania, two genres belonging to the same family, Asteraceae. The obtained essential oils were analyzed using the techniques of Gas Chromatography coupled with Mass Spectrometer and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. It was found that both essential oils were dominated by the presence of terpenes. Aliphatic components were modest represented in both essential oils. The results were compared with those reported by other authors. Similarities consist in the domination of the same class of compounds and in the same modest representation of others. One of differences consists in the presence of some compounds with significant medicinal role, which were not reported by other authors. Another difference consists in the presence of some compounds in higher concentrations than those reported by other authors.
