    • 3D printed scaffolds with core-shell structure for bone tissue engineering 

      García Masabet, Violeta del Valle (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2017-02-07)
      Master thesis
      Restricted access - author's decision
      Biomaterials with core-shell structure have been used as carriers for drug delivery applications and cell encapsulation, allowing several improvements in the field of tissue engineering. Although the usefulness of biomaterials ...
    • Blends of modified PLA and biopolyamides for additive manufacturing 

      García Masabet, Violeta del Valle (2023-11-24)
      Doctoral thesis
      Open Access
      (English) The main objective of this work is to counteract the limitations of polylactic acid (PLA) and propose a sustainable manufacturing approach using bioblends of a rheologically modified PLA by reactive extrusion ...
    • Effect of the viscosity ratio on the PLA/PA10.10 bioblends morphology and mechanical properties 

      Cailloux, Jonathan; Abt, Tobias Martin; García Masabet, Violeta del Valle; Santana Pérez, Orlando Onofre; Sánchez Soto, Miguel; Carrasco Alonso, Félix Ángel; Maspoch Rulduà, M. Lluïsa (2018-01-30)
      Article
      Open Access
      PLA bio-blends with a predominantly biosourced PA10.10 in the composition range 10-50wt.% were prepared by melt blending in order to overcome the advanced brittleness of PLA. Due to the inherent immiscibility of the blends, ...
    • Multivariate identification of extruded PLA samples from the infrared spectrum 

      Riba Ruiz, Jordi-Roger; Cantero, Rosa; García Masabet, Violeta del Valle; Cailloux, Jonathan; Canals, Trini; Maspoch Rulduà, M. Lluïsa (Springer, 2020-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biodegradable thermoplastic polymer that is presented as a good alternative to petroleum-derived plastics. Some of the major drawbacks of this material are its lack of thermal stability and rapid ...
    • PLA/BIOPA bioblends for FDM: Mechanica and fracture behavior 

      Cailloux, Jonathan; García Masabet, Violeta del Valle; Loaeza Becerril, Alfonso David; Carrasco Alonso, Félix Ángel; Maspoch Rulduà, M. Lluïsa; Santana Pérez, Orlando Onofre (2020)
      Conference lecture
      Open Access
      The fracture behaviour of PLA/PA bioblends has been investigated in order to extend its processing through fused deposition modeling printing by pellets supply (FDM-p). The viability of the processing technique in creating ...
    • PLA/PA bio-blends: induced morphology by extrusion 

      García Masabet, Violeta del Valle; Santana Pérez, Orlando Onofre; Cailloux, Jonathan; Abt, Tobias Martin; Sánchez Soto, Miguel; Carrasco Alonso, Félix Ángel; Maspoch Rulduà, M. Lluïsa (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2019-12-19)
      Article
      Open Access
      The effect of processing conditions on the final morphology of Poly(Lactic Acid) (PLA) with bio-based Polyamide 10.10 (PA) 70/30 blends is analyzed in this paper. Two types of PLA were used: Commercial (neat PLA) and a ...
