AbstractAbstract
[en] A novel complex, (Ru(dppz)2(p-MOPIP))2+ (dppz = dipyrido-(3,2-a:20,30-c]phenazine, p-MOPIP = 2-(4-methoxyphenyl) imidazo(4,5-f)(1,10]phenanthroline) has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, Fourier Transform Infrared analysis, Ultra Violet visible and fluorescence spectroscopy. Herein, the complex was designed by adding p-MOPIP as an intercalating ligand and dppz as the ancillary ligand. The DNA binding properties of the complex with Calf Thymus DNA (CT-DNA) were investigated using spectroscopic methods. The UV-visible absorption band observed at 460 nm corresponded to the metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) while bands at 358 and 281 nm corresponded to intra-ligand (IL) π-π* transitions of the ligand scaffold in p-MOPIP and dppz. The intrinsic binding constant, Kb for this complex was 1.67x106 M-1 and this suggested that this complex, (Ru(dppz)2(p-MOPIP))2+ bound to DNA via the intercalative mode. Interestingly, the interaction of this complex with CT-DNA also had a molecular light switch effect. (author)

AbstractAbstract
[en] Noxious heavy metal ions contamination has become a serious environmental problem nowadays. Among all the toxic heavy metal ions, lead(II) ion, is the most commonly encountered in industrial and agricultural wastewater and in acidic wash-away from landfills site. Hence, the removal of lead traces from the environment has gained a special concern due to their persistence. In this study, batch experiments were conducted to study the capability of hybrid graphite nanoflakes/mesoporous silica nanoparticles (GNP-MSN), amine functionalized mesoporous silica (NH2-MSN) and pristine graphite nanoflakes (GNP) as adsorbents for removal of lead from aqueous. The influence of several parameters such as pH of the aqueous sample, amount of adsorbent, initial concentration of the lead(II) ions and contact time were examined to optimize the adsorption efficiency of the adsorbents under study. Lead(II) ion can be extracted at pH 4 from sample volume of 10 mL with concentration of 10 ppm by utilizing 10 mg of each respective adsorbent. The analysis of the sample was done by using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (FAAS). Furthermore, GNP-MSN also has greatly reduced the aggregation of pristine graphite in water in which GNP-MSN is more easily to be removed from tested sample by centrifugation process compared to pristine graphite. In term of consistency and selectivity of the lead(II) ions removal, GNP-MSN show the highest efficiency since it is able to remove lead(II) ions with higher adsorption capacity (23.940 mg/g) compared to NH2-MSN (9.230 mg/g) and GNP (1.113 mg/g). Based on kinetic study, both GNP and NH2-MSN were best-fitted with pseudo-second order while GNP-MSN fitted well with pseudo-first order. (author)

AbstractAbstract
[en] Fabrication of medical implant using composite Polycaprolactone (PCL) / Polylactic Acid (PLA) through a process of fused filament fabrication (FFF) is the future of medical field. In this study the capabilities of FFF process and optimization of the Parameter was investigated to achieve the 20mm × 20mm × 10mm dimensional accuracy of printed composite material. Design of experiment using technique full factorial with two level design is used to study the interaction of factor which is print temperature (A), height of deposition (B), print speed (C) and travel speed (D). By using DOE, the total 20 run include with 4 center point was investigated by extruding the composite material using 3D printer. The dimension accuracy is tested using flexible measuring machine. From the sample, the ANOVA analysis of variance is divided into 3 responses, length, width and height. Factor model A, C and BD show the significant effect on length and for width response, factor model effected the dimensional accuracy is A, C, AC, and AD. Meanwhile for height respond only factor model A and C show the significant effect on the respond. Based on the analysis, one optimum parameter run is selected among ten of the suggested run. The optimum parameter value consists of 136°C print temperature, 0.12mm deposition of height, 20mm/s printing speed and 22mm/s travel speed. The confirmation run analysis this optimum parameter shows the precise dimension with average margin error below that 15% for length, width and height respond. (paper)

AbstractAbstract
[en] Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline porous frameworks which have been investigated as absorbent for removing dye, metal ion, drug contaminant, and organic solvent from water. However, the traditional synthesis of MOF involves the use of organic solvents and also requires high temperature; termed solvothermal reaction. This study aimed to synthesis MOF in a rather mild condition (room temperature) using ionic liquids (ILs) instead of organic solvents. Theoretically, high ionic conductivity of cetyl pyridinium bromide (C16PyBr) ionic liquid can develop novel MOF compounds thus, this study also aimed to investigate the possible effects of using ionic liquid in MOF synthesis. Zinc nitrate hexahydrate (Zn(NO3)2.6H2O) was used as the metal precursor and was reacted with the organic ligands, which is either benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (H3BTC) or benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate (H2BDC), at 6:1 ratio in C16PyBr ionic liquid at room temperature. We hope to fabricate Zn-BDC and Zn-BTC MOFs with the same compositions, and thus recognize the effects of ILs. The powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra of both newly synthesized MOFs showed that both Zn-BDC and Zn-BTC MOFs can be reproduced with these conditions. ILs have also been found to significantly accelerate the formation of MOFs at room temperature as the reaction time is shortened to 6 hours in IL, meanwhile the organic solvent DMF needs at least 120 hours.

AbstractAbstract
[en] Five different histidine and aspartic acid based tetrapeptides were designed using LOMETS and PyMol. They were chemically synthesized following the solid phase Fmoc-peptide synthesis protocols and were analysed using the reverse-phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) C18 analytical column for the purity. The peptides were further analysed by Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LCMS) to see if the desired peptides were synthesized systematically. Copper (II) acetate monohydrate was bound to the peptides and the best molar ratio for the binding of these metal salts to peptides was 2:1. These observations were monitored through several spectroscopic techniques. The first physical observations for the successful synthesis of metallopeptides were the colour change, the melting/ decomposition points and the solubility of these metallopeptides. Due to the visible colour change of the peptides to metallopeptides, UV-Visible spectroscopy and UV-Fluorescence spectroscopy were used as a qualitative analysis tests and the results were in agreement with other researcherss data from similar researches.

AbstractAbstract
[en] Rice husk ash (RHA) which contains more than 90 percent silica is proven to be an active silica source in zeolite synthesis. In this study, nano sodalite has been successfully synthesized hydrothermally at 60 degree Celsius using RHA as silica source in alkaline medium at various crystallization times. Commercial fumed silica was used as comparison for the silica source. Analysis by XRD has shown that pure nano sodalite was formed in 3 hours and stable up to more than 24 hours when using RHA as silica source. On the other hand, fumed silica produced pure nano sodalite only at 4 hours while a mixture of zeolites was observed outside this time range. FESEM shows a worm-like morphology of nano sodalite in the size range of 50-100 nm while FTIR shows the formation of aluminosilicates bonds. Analysis on the dissolved silica in the gel reaction mixture demonstrates the decreasing mass of silica after prolong time of crystallization which indicates the consumption of the dissolved silica in crystal growth of nano sodalite. This study shows that RHA is a better silica source in stabilizing the nano sodalite phase in oxide gel reaction mixture as compared to fumed silica. (author)
