Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kemampuan kitosan asetat cangkang bekicot sebagai antibakteri pada kain katun berdasarkan pengaruh variasi waktu perendaman terhadap aktivitas pertumbuhan Staphylococcus aureus. Pembuatan kitosan dilakukan dengan tiga tahap yaitu demineralisasi, deproteinasi dan deasetilasi, kemudian kitosan asetat dibuat dengan melarutkan kitosan dalam larutan asam asetat 2%. Pelapisan kain katun dengan melalui perendaman menggunakan natrium periodat dilanjutkan pelapisan kitosan asetat dengan variasi waktu perendaman 1 menit, 5 menit dan 10 menit. Uji aktivitas antibakteri menggunakan metode tebar. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa semakin lama waktu perendaman maka pertumbuhan bakteri semakin berkurang. Di simpulkan bahwa kitosan asetat dapat menghambat aktivitas pertumbuhan Staphylococcus aureus. Kata kunci: Kitosan asetat, pelapisan kain, aktivitas antibakteri. This study aims to determine the ability of snail shell chitosan as an antibacterial on cotton fabric based on the effect of variations in soaking time on growth activity of Staphylococcus aureus. Preparation of chitosan be done in three phases demineralization, deproteination and deacetylation, then chitosan acetate is prepared by dissolving chitosan in a 2% acetic acid solution. The coating of cotton fabric through soaking using sodium periodate is followed by the coating of chitosan acetate with a variation of the soaking time of 1 minute, 5 minutes and 10 minutes. Antibacterial activity test using the stocking method. The results showed that the longer the soaking time, the bacterial growth decreases. It was concluded that chitosan acetate can inhibit the growth activity of Staphylococcus aureus. Keywords: Chitosan acetate, fabric coating, antibacterial activity.
Sintesis nanosilika memerlukan bahan yang mengandung senyawa silika yang banyak, Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa di antara sumber silika terbanyak ada pada pasir pantai. Telah dilakukan penelitian sintesis nanosilika dari pasir pantai Takalar dengan menggunakan metode hidrotermal. Ada beberapa metode yang bisa digunakan untuk sintesis nanosilika, di antaranya kopresipitasi, sol gel dan hidrotermal. Metode dengan cara yang paling mudah dan membutuhkan biaya yang tidak terlalu besar adalah metode hidrotermal. Hasil menunjukkan nanosilika yang dihasilkan memiliki kadar silika (SiO2) sebesar 59,82 Adapun karakteristik dari nanopartikel silika yang dihasilkan pada metode hidrotermal yaitu berada pada fasa kristal kuarsa dan kristobalit dengan sistem kristal masing-masing trigonal dan tetragonal yang memiliki kisaran rata-rata ukuran partikel 45,07 nm - 48,68 nm. Kata kunci: metode hidrotermal, nanosilika, pasir.Nanosilica synthesis requires materials that contain a lot of silica compounds. Research shows that beach sand is the largest source of silica. Research on the synthesis of nanosilica from Takalar beach sand using the hydrothermal method has been carried out. There are several methods that can be used for the synthesis of nanosilica, including coprecipitation, sol gel and hydrothermal. The method with the easiest and the least costly is the hydrothermal method. The results showed that the nanosilica produced had a silica (SiO2) content of 59.82. 45.07 nm - 48.68 nm. Keywords: hydrothermal method, nanosilica, sand.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
