"With thousands of new eco-minded houses being built, and the real estate market becoming more attuned to home-buyers' interests, demand for ecologically efficient living spaces is still exceeding the supply. Yet few resources exist for those wanting to build, buy, or remodel their own home to use less energy and be environmentally sensitive. This practical, reader-friendly guide gives readers all the guidance they need to easily become ecologically responsible homeowners."

"This study utilized an eco-friendly heterogeneous catalyst in the synthesis of ester via esterification of ethanol andacetic acid under refluxing conditions. The amount of acetic acid converted was determined by titrimetric method.Aluminum pillared material was produced from natural clay by ion exchange and calcined at 473 K. Powdered X-Raydiffraction (PXRD), Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FT-IR) and BET gas sorption analysis were employed to characterizethe pillared material. The result revealed that significant improvement on physicochemical characteristics of the naturalclay occurred as a result of pillaring. The results also revealed that the conversion of acetic acid was dependent on thecatalyst/feed ratio of 2:2:1. The maximum conversion of acetic acid of 95.79% was obtained at the reaction temperatureof 363 K and 150 minutes. The pillared clay material is more active in the conversion of acetic acid than the naturalbentonite clay. This study illustrated that pillared bentonite clay is an eco-friendly solid catalyst for use in theproduction of chemical precursors for several industrial products.Penggunaan Katalis Ramah Lingkungan dalam Produksi Ester.

"The electronic industry’s need for semiconductor material is increasing each year due to technology’s rapid development. Semiconductor material has an electric conductivity of approximately 10-8-103 S/cm, and it is used as an important component in electronic devices. Semiconductor material is generally made of plastic modified with conductive filler. The problem with using semiconductor material is that the discarded components can be plastic waste that requires significant time to degrade; therefore, the synthesis of semiconductor material from natural substances must be observed. One of these natural substances is nata de coco fiber modified with a conductive filler. The impregnation method is used in the synthesis of the nata de coco fiber composite. The fillers used in this study are ZnO and silica, and the size of the filler particle and the concentration of the filler suspension are used as variations. From the SEM-EDX results, it can be seen that the filler is successfully deposited on the nata de coco fiber. Silica filler gives a higher conductivity than ZnO filler because of its lower energy band gap. The highest conductivity result is obtained from the composite impregnated in a 0.3-0.4 mm particle diameter of filler with 3% w/v suspension concentration for three days, producing the conductivity result of 6.95×10-6 S/cm for ZnO filler and 10.1×10-6 S/cm for silica filler, or about 16 times higher than the conductivity of nata de coco fiber."
