This volume features an array of groundbreaking research. Highlighted studies include the creation of a pollen calendar for stingless bees in Terengganu, and the isolation of reticulocytes from human stem cells for malaria research. The analysis of gentamicin-impregnated biomaterials in rabbits offers new insights into osteomyelitis treatment. Research on PLA/hydroxyapatite composites, microencapsulation of polyphenols from Mentha aquatica, and the addition of yttria-stabilized zirconia to beta-tricalcium phosphate are thoroughly investigated.

Further, microscopic analysis of cleaned edible bird’s nest, synthesis of iron oxide nanoleaf, and growth performance of fungal foam derived from mushrooms are explored. Unique groove patterns of maxillary teeth for human identification and the impact of microstructure on AISI Duplex-2205 hardness are examined. Innovations in methylene blue dye removal using activated carbon from palm trunks, and biofoam development using sawdust and teak leaves are discussed.

The issue also covers akermanite bioceramics, effects of polyols and isocyanate ratios on polyurethane, and anodized SS304L studies. It includes evaluations of turbine blade failure, milling duration on rice husk silica, and manufacturing defects in brass valves. Advanced fuel cell materials, annealing effects on steel wire, and antimicrobial coatings on orthopedic implants are presented. Toxicity of Vitex trifolia, green synthesis of silver nanoparticles, and platinum nanodendrites as theranostic agents are highlighted.

Lastly, the volume explores polyphenol analysis in tomatoes, eco-friendly corrosion inhibitors, tung oil-filled microcapsules for epoxy coatings, stomata analysis in Premna species, bamboo charcoal effects on PLA/polypropylene blends, and alumina and thiols roles in Hg2+ wastewater adsorption.
