"This work investigates the fresh, mechanical and durability properties of normal, Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) and Smart Dynamic Concrete (SDC), which are a new generation of concrete with a lower amount of cementitious content. SDC is a low-fine, self-compacting concrete, that combines the benefits of normal concrete (stability) and self-compacting concrete (fresh properties). Fresh properties such as slump flow, L-box and V-funnel tests were investigated to evaluate its self-compacting properties. Mechanical properties such as compressive, splitting tensile and flexural strengths were also examined to compare its effectiveness with normal concrete. In addition to the fresh and hardened properties, the rapid chloride permeability test was also conducted to check the durability of normal, SCC and SDC concrete mixtures. The test results of the fresh properties clearly showed that SDC exhibited superior flowability in the slump flow, L-box and V-funnel tests within the limits of EFNARC (The European Federation of Specialist Construction Chemical and Concrete Systems) guidelines. The mechanical properties of SDC attained higher compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and flexural strength compared with the normal and SCC concrete mixtures. The rapid chloride permeability tests result of SDC clearly showed that SDC exhibited similar and better results than that of normal and SCC concrete mixtures."

"Sintesis dan karakterisasi material MoS2 telah dilakukan melalui metode hidrotermal menggunakan prekursor sodium molybdate dihydrate dan thiourea. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan MoS2 dengan konsentrasi prekursor yang optimal diantara variasi prekursor 0,25 M; 0,5 M; 1,0 M; dan 1,5 M sehingga dapat menyerap gelombang mikro pada kisaran X-band secara efektif. Konsentrasi prekursor MoS2 divariasikan menjadi 0,25 M; 0,5 M; 1,0 M; dan 1,5 M disintesis dengan suhu reaksi 2000 C selama 24 jam. Karakterisasi MoS2 yang telah disintesis dilakukan dengan alat X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) untuk analisis fasa, Scanning Electron Microscopy – Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) untuk mengetahui morfologi yang terbentuk, Particle Size Analyzer (PSA) untuk mengetahui ukuran partikel, dan Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) untuk mengetahui kemampuan material dalam menyerap gelombang mikro. Dari hasil penelitian diperoleh MoS2 single phase dengan struktur heksagonal space group P63/mmc, memiliki morfologi nanosheet microsphere, memiliki ukuran partikel pada interval 138,3 hingga 189,6 nm, dan memiliki besar Reflection Loss sebesar -18,79 dB untuk konsentrasi 0,25 M; -19,6 dB untuk konsentrasi 0,5 M; -23,06 untuk konsentrasi 1,0 M; dan -24,23 untuk konsentrasi 1,5 M. Reflection Loss terbaik mencapai −24,23 dB pada frekuensi 10,34 GHz diperoleh saat konsentrasi prekursor MoS2 sebesar 1,5 M. Maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa konsentrasi prekursor MoS2 yang disintesis secara hidrotermal yang optimal diantara 0,25 M; 0,5 M; 1,0 M; dan 1,5 M adalah 1,5 M, dikarenakan kemampuannya menyerap gelombang mikro hingga 99,62% pada frekuensi 10,34 GHz.

Synthesis and characterization of MoS2 has been done through hydrothermal method with Sodium Molybdate Dihydrate and Thiourea as precursors. This research is done to obtain MoS2 with the optimal concentration among the precursor variations of 0.25 M; 0.5 M; 1.0 M; and 1.5 M to improve its ability to microwave absorption on the X-band. The 0.25 M, 0.5 M, 1.0 M and 1.5 M concentrations of the MoS2 is synthesized at temperature of 2000 C for 24 hours. The measurements that have been done to the sample are XRD for phase analysis, SEM-EDS for morphology identification, PSA to obtain particle size and VNA to identify the sample's microwave absorption abilities. Yielded results concluded that MoS2 single phase with a hexagonal structure and space group P63/mmc, has a nanosheet microsphere morphology, has a particle size in the interval of 138.8 to 189.6 nm, and has a Reflection Loss of -18.79 dB for concentration 0.25 M; -19.6 dB for a concentration of 0.5 M; -23.06 for a concentration of 1.0 M; and -24.23 for a concentration of 1.5 M. The best Reflection Loss reached -24.23 dB at a frequency of 10.34 GHz obtained when the precursor concentration of the MoS2 was 1.5 M. It can be concluded that the optimal precursor concentration of the hydrothermally synthesized MoS2 between 0.25 M; 0.5 M; 1.0 M; and 1.5 M is 1.5 M, due to its ability to absorb microwaves up to 99.62% at a frequency of 10.34 GHz."
