Agar, commonly known as a food ingredient, has potential for development into a high-value material for healthcare applications. Through her doctoral research at the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Indonesia (FTUI), Dina Fransiska developed agar derived from the red seaweed Gracilaria sp. as a functional material for producing biodegradable bone implant biocomposites that can naturally degrade...
Sargassum seaweed, which has yet to be widely utilized, holds significant potential for development into high-value biomaterials. Through her doctoral research at the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Indonesia (FTUI), Nurhayati developed cellulose nanofibers (CNF) derived from Sargassum as a reinforcing material for hydrogels with potential applications as a wound dressing material candidate. Nurhayati, who also...
