Studi Pengaruh Perlakuan Plasma Terhadap Sifat Material Antibakteri Kain Kassa Menggunakan Minyak Atsiri (<i>Zingiber Officinale Rosc</i>)

Abstract

This work was aimed to study the influence of plasma on changes in functional groups of a wound dressing called kain kassa which immersed in essential oil from ginger (Zingiber Officinale Rosc). In this work also analyze the differences of wound dressing between with or without using the help of plasma. The Wound dressing and the essential oil of ginger were selling in the market, the wound dressing doesnt have information about fiber which form itself. So, Dissolution test and additional test were carried out. Then, The result of the differences of wound dressing was analyzed with Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR), the plasma treated has higher absrobance of O-H and C-H at wavenumber 3350 cm-1 and 2930 cm-1. However at 1700 cm-1 C=O, the wound dressing without plasma has higher absorbance than wound dressing with plasma
