Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesIsing Model for Conductive Percolation in Electrically Conductive Adhesives by Considering Random Arrangement of Conducting ParticlesMora, Sahrul Saehana, Euis Sustini et al.Problem statement: Thermodynamically, particles in composites will arrange in a way such that the Helmholtz free energy is minimized. However, even a single structure has the lowest free energy, it should not ignore the probability of other structures having larger energies to occur, although at small chances. Approach: All possible arrangements of particles in the composites, therefore, must be taken … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 30 May 2012 · 7,245 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesTiO2 Nanoparticles-Coated Polypropylene Copolymer as Photocatalyst on Methylene Blue Photodegradation under Solar ExposureHasniah Aliah, Mahardika Prasetya Aji, Masturi et al.Problem statement: Pollutions of water bodies by dye wastes from textile industries and other sources have become critical consideration. A photocatalytic technique using semiconductor materials such as Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) activated by lights has been considered as one economical method to solve this problem. Approach: We attached titanium dioxide on the surface of polymer grains as photocatalyc agents using a … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 29 May 2012 · 7,861 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesA General Formula for Ion Concentration-Dependent Electrical Conductivities in Polymer ElectrolytesMahardika Prasetya Aji, Masturi, Satria Bijaksana et al.Problem statement: The aim of this study is to develop a model for describing the effect of ion concentration on the electrical conductivity of polymer electrolytes by considering two mechanisms simultaneously: Enhancements of ion concentration and amorphous phase. Approach: The problems based on new observations in polymer electrolyte when ion concentration in the polymer electrolytes was increased, both the fraction … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 30 Mar 2012 · 8,619 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesPermeability, Strength and Filtration Performance for Uncoated and Titania-Coated Clay Wastewater FiltersMasturi, Silvia, Mahardika Prasetya Aji et al.Problem statement: Wastewater problems continue to be a relevant issue, particularly in urban areas. One promising low-cost material for manufacturing porous ceramics as water filter is clay. Clays can be blended with other materials such as polymers to obtain functional ceramic materials. Approach: Ceramic wastewater filters were fabricated from clay using both sol-gel and simple mixing methods followed by hot-pressing … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 29 Feb 2012 · 8,399 accessesView PDF Cite
