Objective: The objective of this study was to know the physically stable deodorant preparations during storage and to obtain the preparations. Methods: The evaluation of the physical properties of deodorant include: Organoleptic test, homogeneity, pH measurement, viscosity, flow properties, drying time, moisture content, flow time, density, cycling test, hedonic test, irritation test, and effectivity test of sweat adsorption. Activated charcoal used by the formulation of deodorant powder and roll on each with a concentration of 15%. Results: The physicochemical evaluation was obtained. Descriptively produced data stated that deodorant powder is more physically stable that deodorant roll-on which has separated during storage. Conclusion: For the effectivity of sweat adsorption, deodorant powder is more effective than deodorant roll-on.

Avocado seeds have been studied for use as corrosion inhibitors of mild steel in a solution of 0.75 M sulfuric acid. Corrosion inhibition efficiency at a concentration of 10 g / L avocado seed extract (ASE) was obtained at 74.56% with weight loss method and 68.38% with potentiometric polarization method. Corrosion inhibition efficiency was found to be greater with increasing ASE concentration. Polarization studies show that the avocado seed extract is a mixed corrosion inhibitor. SEM images on mild steel with the addition of ASE showed the formation of a thin layer on the mild steel surface. OH and CN functional groups appear on the FT-IR spectrum of ASE. These functional groups interact with iron on the steel surface to form a thin layer that can inhibit corrosive ion attacks from sulfuric acid solutions.

Telah dilakukan pembuatan Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC) dengan elektroda kerja yang terbuat dari campuran TiO2 dan 14% grafit yang selanjutnya ditulis sebagai TiO2:C14%.Koloid TiO2:C14% dideposisikan pada substrat kaca konduktif Fluorine Doped Tin Oxide(FTO) dengan metode sol-gel-spin coating pada kecepatan 500, 1000 dan 1500 rpm selama 50 detik. Kemudian lapisan ini direndam selama 24 jam dalam pewarna (dye) yang diambil dari ekstrak kelopak bunga rosella (hibiscus sabdariffa). Untuk mengkarakterisasi bahan pembentuk sel surya dilakukan uji XRD dan SEM.  Uji efisiensi sel surya tersensitasi zat warna dihitung dengan menggunakan rangkaian karakteristik kurva IV. Dari hasil yang diperoleh ketebalan tertinggi diperoleh pada kecepatan putar 500 rpm dengan ketebalan lapisan 0,9 mm dan efisiensi yang dihasilkan adalah 0,014%.   The production of Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC) has been done. The transparent electrode is made by mixing of TiO2 and graphite 14% (TiO2:C14%). TiO2:C14% colloid is deposited on a conductive glass substrate Fluorine Doped Tin Oxide (FTO) by spin coating method at 500, 1000 and 1500 rpm during 50 second. Then, the layer is soaked of 24 hours in dye taken from the extract of rosella. SEM and XRD characterization are performed for looking properties of DSSC materials. The efficiency of DSSC is calculated by using the characteristic circuit IV curve. The highest efficiency value is obtained when the thickest active layer (0,9 mm) at 500 rpm, the resulting efficiency is 0,014%.
