Palm oil quality and price is dependent on the free fatty acids (FFA) content in palm oil. High of affect leads to various health environmental issues. The maximum set by Oil Refiners Association Malaysia crude 5 % < 0.1 refined bleached deodorized Due high demand industry market nowadays, works has been done improve including determination reduction traditional method for through titration sample against potassium hydroxide hot 2-propanol solutions using phenolphthalein as indicator....
Hyperbolic metamaterials (HMMs) have attracted increasing attentions because of their unique dispersion properties and the flexibility to control by changing components fractions composed materials. In this work, for first time, we demonstrate a plasmonic sensor based on side-polished few-mode-fiber coated with layered HMM, which is alternating layers Ag TiO2. To optimize performance, effects metal filling fraction (ρ) number bilayers (Nbi) HMM are thoroughly engineered effective medium...
Polyurethane-graphene (PU-graphene) nanocomposite was utilized as the sensing material for a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) temperature sensor. The characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and electrochemical impedance (EIS) to study morphology physical properties of materials FBG application. physical, chemical, conductivity PU-graphene improve after graphene introduced in pristine PU. FTIR shows...
Herein we propose a novel strategy to enhance surface plasmon resonance (SPR) by introducing photonic cavity into total-internal-reflection architecture. The cavity, which is comprised of highly reflective crystal (PC), defect layers, and gold (Au) film, enables Fabry–Perot (FP) resonances in the layers therefore narrows SPR width metallic as well increases electric field intensity penetration depth evanescent region. fabricated sensor exhibits 5.7-fold increase figure merit higher linear...
The detection of Pb(II) ions in a river using the surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based silver (Ag) thin film technique was successfully developed. Chitosan-graphene oxide (CS-GO) coated on top Ag and acted as active sensing layer for ion detection. CS-GO synthesized characterized, physicochemical properties this material were studied prior to integration with SPR. In X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), appearance C=O, C-O, O-H functional groups at 531.2 eV 532.5 eV, respectively,...
This research demonstrates a one-step modification process of biopolymer carrageenan active sites through functional group substitution in κ-carrageenan structures.

FTIR analysis showed presence new peaks at 1068 cm−1, 1218 and 1626 cm−1 that corresponded vibrations C–O C=O from carbonyl group. A peak 2.86 ppm 1H...
An optical sensor-based localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensor was demonstrated for sensitive and selective chlorophyll detection through the integration of amino-functionalized carbon quantum dots (NCQD) triangle silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The additions amino groups to CQD enhance electrostatic interactions. AgNPs-NCQD composite fabricated on silanized glass slide using self-assembly technique. experimental results showed that film-based LSPR detects better than AgNPs...
The discovery of hybrid states in strong coupling interaction has gained growing attention cavity-quantum electrodynamics research owing to its fundamental directives and potential advanced optical applications. ultra-confined mode volume plasmonic cavity gold nanorods (AuNRs), particularly at the nanorod tip "hotspot" provides a large strength, prerequisite for coherent energy exchange regime.
