This study aims to develop a hydrogel wound dressing based on Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) and Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) with the addition of black pepper oil (Piper nigrum L.) as a natural antibacterial agent. The hydrogel was made with varying concentrations of CMC (5%, 7.5%, 10%) and black pepper oil (0–40%) using citric acid as a crosslinking agent and gum arabic as a binder. Analysis was …

This book offers a systematic overview of polymer joining and highlights the experimental and numerical work currently being pursued to devise possible strategies to overcome the technical issues. It also covers the fundamentals of polymers, the corresponding joining processes and related technologies. A chapter on the extrapolation of finite element analysis (FEA) for forecasting the deformati…
This book presents a thorough discussion of the physics, biology, chemistry and medicinal science behind a new and important area of materials science and engineering: polymer nanocomposites. The tremendous opportunities of polymer nanocomposites in the biomedical field arise from their multitude of applications and their ability to satisfy the vastly different functional requirements for each …
Penuembangan bahan pengikat (matriks) sebagai material komposit seperti bahan polimer di masa depan memiliki prospek yang amat menjanjikan. Komposit didefinisikan sebagai dua macam atau lebih material yang digabungkan atau dikombinasikan sehingga menjadi material baru yang lebih berguna. Komposit terdiri dari dua bagian utama yaitu matriks dan flller ( pengisi ) berfungsi sebagai dari matriks. …
More buildings and infrastructure in their manufacture use building materials in the form of concrete. Mortar is one of the materials in construction made of cement, fine aggregate, air and additives. Due to the increasing number of buildings and infrastructure that use concrete, cement production has increased. Cement production that continues to increase can have a negative impact on the envi…
