Vol. 25 No. 1 (2023): Jurnal Sains dan Materi Indonesia

Development of materials science and technology plays an active role in the several fields of life including industry, medical, infrastructure, energy and the others. Researchers and academics are the forefront of this development and Indonesia Journal of Materials Science (JUSAMI)was founded to represent their needs, which are now widely recognized as an integral part of scientific and characterization investigations. JUSAMI Vol. 25 No. 1 October 2023 is proudly published several paper entitled: Synthesisand Characterization of LaF3:Ce Scintillator Material; Effect of 2-Methylimidazole Composition as Low-Temperature Application in Phenol-Formaldehyde, Glycidyl Ether Epoxy Coating; Preparation of Polyurethane-Modified Epoxy Coating Materials Based on Vegetable Oil Derivated Ester; Characterization of Glass Fiber / Epoxy with Various Silicone Resin Addition Composite’s Compressive and Flexural Strength; Porous Carbon Black Microsphere from Palm Oil Black Liquor; Synthesis and Characterization of a Polystyrene-based Scintillator for Gamma DetectionAll papers published in this volume of JUSAMI have been peer reviewed through processes administered by the journals Editors. Reviews were conducted by expert referees to the professional and scientific standards expected of a JUSAMI.We believe that all the papers published in this issue will have great influence on the material science development.Finally, this issue would not have been possible without the greatest support of the Editorial Board and secretariat members, and we would like to express our sincere thanks to all of themand all the Editorial Boards conveyed the support of the writers and reviewers, so that the Indonesia Journal of Material Science could display articles on quality research and development materials that are expected to contribute to the development of materials science.
