The aim of this research is to synthesize and characterize the nanocomposites and also to determine the controlled release behaviour of 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid (HPP) anion. Zinc layered hydroxide-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate (ZLH-HPP) nanocomposite was synthesized by direct reaction method. Meanwhile, layered double hydroxide-3-(4 hydroxyphenyl)propionate (LDH-HPP) nanocomposite was synthesized by ion-exchange method. The ZLH-HPP and LDH-HPP nanocomposites physicochemical properties was characterized using powder x-ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur analysis, inductive coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometer, thermogravimetric analysis and derivative thermogravimetry, and field emission scanning electron microscope. Research findings confirmed that two nanocomposites ZLH-HPP and LDH-HPP were successfully synthesized with PXRD pattern of ZLHHPP and LDH-HPP nanocomposites show well order l.....

This project aims to produce a flute method book based on Malaysian Folk Songs, Patriotic Songs, famous songs from the Malaysian legend the late Tan Sri P.Ramlee (1929-1973) and Children’s Songs. Forty songs were selected based on key, range and register for the first level of learning. The music selected is very important as a means to further enhance students’ knowledge about their local culturel. Here, method books play an important role for teachers to develop and organize strategies to produce capable students. The elements of music are based on the fundamentals level from beginner for the first year of learning. This book can also be used for recorder or piccolo or used for oboe and treble instruments in the C Clef...
