    Synthetic graphite is a material consisting of graphitic carbon which has been obtained by graphitizing a non-graphitic carbon. The growth in demand, particularly in customizing properties for certain usage has brought about research on viable alternative, low-cost, and environmentally pleasant synthetic graphite production. Biomass wastes are amongst appealing carbon precursors which have been broadly checked out as replacement carbon for graphite production. This research aimed to synthesize synthetic graphite from oil palm trunks at low temperatures (500 °C, 400 °C and 300 °C) under controlled conditions to determine the physical properties and properties of the graphite obtained. After the heat treatment process, the obtained samples were then characterized by using XRD, SEM and RAMAN characterizations. Based on SEM and RAMAN characterization, it can be seen that graphite that undergoes a 500 °C pyrolysis process shows the best results compare to graphite that undergoes a pyrolysis process at the temperatures of 300 °C and 400 °C. The graphite flakes and the peaks obtained for 500 °C graphite are obviously present. For XRD characterization, the best samples at 500 °C were chosen to be characterized. From the results, the sample shows slight behavior imitating the commercialized graphite. Hence, from the characterizations of the samples, it can be concluded that the best synthetic graphite produced was from the oil palm trunks heated at 500 ° C

    A Substitution box (S-box) is an important component used in symmetric key cryptosystems to satisfy Shannon’s property on confusion. As the only nonlinear operation, the S-box must be cryptographically strong to thwart any cryptanalysis tools on cryptosystems. Generally, the S-boxes can be constructed using any of the following approaches: the random search approach, heuristic/evolutionary approach or mathematical approach. However, the current S-box construction has some drawbacks, such as low cryptographic properties for the random search approach and the fact that it is hard to develop mathematical functions that can be used to construct a cryptographically strong S-box. In this paper, we explore the non-permutation function that was generated from the binomial operation of the power function to construct a cryptographically strong S-box. By adopting the method called the Redundancy Removal Algorithm, we propose some enhancement in the algorithm such that the desired result can be obtained. The analytical results of our experiment indicate that all criteria such as bijective, nonlinearity, differential uniformity, algebraic degree and linear approximation are found to hold in the obtained S-boxes. Our proposed S-box also surpassed several bijective S-boxes available in the literature in terms of cryptographic properties.
