A series of pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) was prepared using a constant monomeric composition and different preparation processes to investigate the best combination to obtain the best balance between peel resistance, ...

The present study evaluated the effect of the incorporation of copaiba oil, in direct and in microencapsulated form, into films based on Xanthosoma mafaffa Schott starch. Initially, the characterization of copaiba oil by ...

A great deal of attention has been given in the last years to the study of the influence of incorporating nanosized particles and particularly nanoparticles with a flat-like morphology such as nanoclays or layered double ...

The objective of this work was to produce, through the thermoplastic extrusion process followed by blowing, manioc starch-based flexible films added with Brazilian pepper oil as an antioxidant and plasticizer agent, and ...

The growing global awareness about environmental preservation has stimulated the search for alternatives to replace conventional plastics made from fossil sources. One of the advantages is using polymers from renewable ...

The influence of foaming a semi-crystalline polymer reinforced with different concentrations of carbon nanofibres (0–20 wt.%) on the formation of an electrically conductive network was studied at room temperature using an ...

Los aerogeles son una clase de materiales que se caracteriza por su extrema ligereza y alto contenido de aire. En este trabajo se han preparado diferentes aerogeles polímero/arcilla (PVOH/Na+-MMT) mediante un proceso simple ...

Magnesium hydroxide—filled polypropylene foams were prepared by a compression-molding chemical foaming process and studied considering the effects of foaming and the presence of the particles on the microstructure (cellular ...

In this communication polycarbonate foams were prepared by a supercritical CO2 dissolution one-step batch foaming process. Firstly, CO2 diffusion behavior in polycarbonate was studied by means of desorption experiments. ...
