Retanning of tanned leathers played an important role to raise the shrinkage temperature characteristic and quantum of retanning agents, where crosslinks are formed with the polypeptide chain of the collagen or other reactive available sites of the collagen. This study is useful for the tanners to determine the percentage of shrinkage by using different retannages. The results revealed that the maximum thermal stability (increase in shrinkage temperature 21-25%) has been found in the basic chromium sulphate retanned leather without destruction of physical properties. Beside this, other types of retannages i-e, mineral retanning, phenolic based retanning, formalin based syntan have been showed thermal stability upto different levels (increase in shrinkage temperature 4-6%,12-15%, 10- 14% respectively) in addition to the development of physical properties such as tensile strength (N/ mm2 ), tear strength (N/mm), fullness , etc. to suit different needs.

A. paniculata (Sambiloto) is a plant capable of producing various secondary metabolites which use in the field of pharmacology, one of which is as a source of antibacterial compounds. This potential can be explored from endophytic fungi associated with A. paniculata. The purpose was to determine the effectiveness of the antibacterial activity of the endophytic fungi RS-2 from branches of A. paniculata using red rice as the media. The stages of the research included isolation of the fungi, cultivation, extraction, antibacterial test, and test of the phytochemical of the endophytic fungi on branches of A. paniculata. The effectiveness test of antibacterial activity against the extract of the RS-2 endophytic fungi showed that the endophytic fungi extract had the potential to inhibit the growth of the three tested bacteria at concentrations of 10%, 30%, and 50%. The ethyl acetate extract of the endophytic fungi RS-2 from A. paniculata has the potential as a source of antibacterial compounds using red rice media.

The development of technology in this world is already developing rapidly. One of the advanced technologies that support research planning is bibliometrics. This study aims to analyze the scope of research on PVA Hydrogel Membrane using VOSviewer using bibliometric review with a mapping process to ensure that the research to be carried out has never been studied and knows the relationship of each related item. The three processes underlying the search use the keywords "chemistry, particle, PVA, and Hydrogel" namely title, abstract, and keyword. The research database is taken from google scholar. A total of 98 articles are relevant and meet the criteria. The results show that most of the studies were conducted in the 2012-2022 range. PVA and Hydrogel are so closely related to each other that they have a fairly bright density visualization. Some items are not related to the PVA Hydrogel Membrane but these items are interconnected with other items so it can be concluded that there are still many items that can be used for further research.

Bajakah is one of the plants found in the forest around Muara Badak. Bajakah root contains flavonoids which have potential as natural ingredients that have medicinal properties. Currently, there are two types of bajakah root on the market, namely tampala and kalalawit. This study aims to determine the content and total flavonoid content of the extract of the Bajakah root from the two types of Bajakah root. The research procedure was initiated by the process of extracting the roots of the Bajakah root using the reflux method using 96% ethanol. The reflux extraction results are then carried out by an evaporation process to obtain a thick extract. The second step is to test the flavone content through a color test. And the quantitative test for determining total flavonoid levels was carried out by UV-Vis Spectrophotometry. Based on the results of a qualitative test using a color reaction, it shows that the roots of the kalalawit and tampala bajakar contain flavonoids. Where the total flavonoid content in the roots of Bajakah Tampala was 59.38% and in Bajakah Kalalawi roots was 47.14%.

Nanotechnology has become an important and interesting field of physics, chemistry, biology and engineering in recent years. The rapidly growing nanotechnology today is nanoparticles. The characteristic characteristic of nanoparticles is that the particle size is very small in the range (1-100 nm). Silver nanoparticles have been synthesized using saga leaf extract (Abrus pecatorius L.) as a reducing agent. The formation of silver nanoparticles was carried out by adding sage leaf extract to the AgNO3 solution and homogenizing using a magnetic stirrer for 60 minutes. UV-Vis spectrophotometer was used to confirm the formation of silver nanoparticles. Test the inhibition of bacteria using the well method. The results showed that the wavelength values were in the range of 375-395nm.

Natural fiber components are used for composite materials because they provide strength to the fibers. Composite materials commonly used are thermoset polymers, one of which is epoxy resin. Biodegradation aims to determine the rate of change in the mass of the specimen after 40 days of burial. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the volume fraction of the combination of areca catechu fibers and snake plant fibers on biodegradation properties. The method used in this research is the soil burial test, which is to determine the rate of polymer biodegradation in the soil. The best results in the biodegradation property test obtained the highest mass value of 30% variation obtained after burial for 40 days amounting to 13,417 grams, with the biodegradation test obtained a comparison before and after burial the mass value obtained did not experience a significant increase, this is because the composite material have no pores. or holes for the entry of microorganisms into the soil.
