A kind of novel protective coating was prepared by using super-hydrophobic PbWO4 nanocrystals as functional stuffing. The samples were characterized systematically by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM), contact angle analyzer, atomic force microscope (AFM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR). The effects of various amount of nano-PbWO4 particles on shielding ratio to 59.5 keV γ-ray were also discussed. The results revealed that the average diameter of PbWO4 nanocrystals were about 32nm. The contact angle between the modified PbWO4 and water was amounted to 153.08°, which showed that the modified PbWO4 owned super hydrophobic surfaces. The modified PbWO4 had good dispersion and stability in organic solvents. Chemistry reaction happened between components of coatings and nano-PbWO4 particles, thus it showed good compatibility with binders. The shielding ratio to γ-ray was up to 32%, and the hardness and levelling property was greatly improved.

The chitosan(CS)/polyurethane(PU) blend nanofibers have been prepared for the first time by electrospinning. Formic acid (FA) and Hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) were found to be the co-solvent for electrospinning. The CS/PU blend solutions in various ratios were studied for electrospinning into nanofibers. The diameter and morphology of the fibers were shown by scanning electron microscope (SEM). It was found that the average diameter of the chitosan/PU blend fibers became larger, and the morphology of the fibers became finer with the content of PU increasing. To show the molecular interactions, CS/PU fibers were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Moreover, the antibaterial activity of blend nanofibers against Escherichia coil (E.coil) was measured via optical density method. The blend nanofibers exhibited satisfying antibacterial activity against E.coil, even the chitosan concentration was only 5wt%. Therefore, the spun nanofibers are expected to be used in the native extracellular matrix for tissue engineering.

Objective: In the present study, the isolated natural polymer from the stem of Manilkara hexandra and their physiochemical parameters were investigated. It is further involved in hypoglycemic studies. Methods: The gum exudates were screened for phytochemicals, physicochemically analyzed for solubility, pH, total ash, moisture content, acid insoluble ash, water soluble ash, sulfated ash, flow property, and it is characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared analysis (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) studies (13Carbon and 1Proton) and it was examined in vitro studies by hypoglycaemic activity. Results: The isolated gum extracted from the stem of Manilkara hexandra (Roxb.) Dubard ash values were found to be low. The gum is found to be hygroscopic in nature due to its high moisture content (0.9131±0.03). Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectra show relevant functional groups for gum, which is further confirmed by resonance spectral studies. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern shows that the gum is amorphous as well as crystalline in nature. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) image confirms that the gum particles have irregular size and shape. Sugar composition analysis by Thin Layer Chromatography indicated the presence of rhamnose, arabinose. The in vitro study of hypoglycemic activity shows the best report compared with the standard. The experimental evidence offers scope to use this natural polymer in the food and pharmaceutical industry. Conclusion: The isolated natural polymer shows good result in hypoglycemic studies compared with standard.

Surface modified nano-zeolite (SMNZ) was used as carrier to develop nano-zeolite based nano-sulphur fertilizer. A laboratory study on sulphur nano-fertilizer and conventional sulphur fertilizer were studied with percolation reactor system to evaluate the slow release of sulphur from both fertilizers in ambient temperature. SMNZ and sulphur nano-fertilizer were characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Zeta Analyzer, Raman Spectroscopy, XRD and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Raman spectroscopy confirmed the sulphur attachment at 480 cm-1 in the SMNZ. The FTIR spectra at 1030 cm-1 confirmed the sulphate attachments in the SMNZ spectrum. Zeta analyzer showed the surface charge of sulphur nano-fertilizer had (-) 52.6 mV. SEM imaged the sulphur loaded SMNZ in irregular flake like structure. A comparative study of the release of sulphate (SO4 2-) from fertilizer-loaded SMNZ and (NH4)2 SO4 fertilizers were performed using the percolation reactor. The results showed that the SO42- supply from fertilizer-loaded SMNZ was available even after 912 h of continuous percolation, whereas SO42- from (NH4)2 SO4 was exhausted within 384 h. These properties suggest that SMNZ has a great potential as the fertilizer carrier for slow release of SO42-.

Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui penghambatan interaksi eutektik yang terjadi pada pengempaan campuran biner ibuprofen-asam stearat dengan penambahan pati jagung. Pati jagung ditambahkan ke dalam campuran biner ibuprofen-asam stearat 40:60 (% b/b) dengan komposisi 10, 20, dan 30% (b/b) kemudian dikempa. Karakterisasi fisik tablet kempa dilakukan menggunakan analisis kekuatan mekanik, differential thermal analysis (DTA), difraksi sinar-X serbuk (DSXS), spektroskopi fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), dan scanning electron microscope (SEM). Uji kekuatan mekanik menunjukkan penambahan pati jagung 10 dan 20% menyebabkan penurunan nilai tensile strength dibandingkan campuran biner. Penambahan 20% pati jagung menyebabkan pergeseran puncak ke sudut 2Ɵ lebih besar disertai dengan penurunan intensitas difraksi sinar-X. Analisis termal tablet kempa campuran biner-pati jagung 20% menunjukkan peningkatan titik lebur eutektik dan spektra FT-IR yang dihasilkan tidak berbeda dibandingkan dengan tablet kempa campuran biner. Mikrofoto SEM menunjukkan penambahan pati jagung 20% dapat mencegah terjadinya sintering pada tablet kempa ibuprofen-asam stearat. Hasil karakterisasi fisik mengindikasikan bahwa pati jagung dapat meredam pembentukan eutektik akibat energi kompresi antara ibuprofen-asam stearat pada komposisi 20% (b/b)

We has synthesized hyperbranched polyamides (HPI) series containing s-triazine rings derived from melamine in the main chain, according to A3 + B2 approach which involving the emulsion polymerization reactions of melamine in hydrochloric acid and stepwise thermal imidization. The effect of curing temperature on the degree of imidization (DI) films of Melamine-BPADA (4,4'-(4,4'-Isopropylidenediphenoxy) bis (phthalic anhydride) has been examined by using the techniques of FTIR (Fourier transform infrared) and SEM-EDX (Scanning Electron Microscope-Electron Diffaction X-Ray). The DI varied significantly with annealing temperature before the films were fully cured. The Melamine-BPADA film was nearly fully cured when annealed at 180 °C, while the same was revealed for SEM-EDX. The morphology of the Melamine-BPADA film did not vary with annealing at temperatures and the FTIR experiment fairly match those from the SEM-EDX.

Partikel nano TiO2 berbasis air dengan pH basa telah berhasil disintesis dengan menggunakan metode sol-gel dan diimobilisasi pada kain kapas dengan menggunakan kitosan sebagai zat pengikat silang. Sintesis dilakukan  dengan prekursor TiCl4 pada konsentrasi 0,3 M, 0,5 M dan 1 M, dan menggunakan templat kanji dengan proses kalsinasi pada suhu 500˚C selama 2 jam. Partikel nano TiO2 diaplikasikan ke kain kapas dengan metoda pad-dry-cure dan menggunakan kitosan sebagai crosslinking agent. Berdasarkan hasil Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM),diketahui bahwa morfologi partikel TiO2 berbentuk spherical dengan ukuran nano (kurang dari 100 nm). Karakterisasi X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) menunjukkan adanya tiga tipe struktur kristal utama, yaitu (100), (101) dan (102) dengan fasa kristal yang terbentuk adalah anatase dan rutile. Pada karakterisasi menggunakan SEM terhadap serbuk dari TiO2 yang telah diaplikasikan ke permukaan kain kapas, terlihat adanya imobilisasi partikel nano TiO2 melalui ikatan hidrogen silang dengan kitosan pada kain kapas. Hasil analisa tersebut kemudian dikonfirmasi dengan FTIR (Fourier Transform Infra Red) yang hasilnya memperlihatkan puncak serapan pada bilangan gelombang 3495 cm-1, 2546 cm-1, dan 511 cm-1,  yang masing-masing diasumsikan sebagai adanya vibrasi gugus fungsi O-H, N-H dan Ti-O-Ti. Hasil SEM menunjukkan pula bahwa kristal nano yang terbentuk diantaranya adalah fasa rutile , yang berdasarkan literatur terbukti dapatberfungsi sebagai anti UV.
