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 ...

Packages from renewable sources have been the focus of many studies, due to the consumer needs for high-quality food, environmental concern related to the inadequate discard of packaging, low percentage of packaging ...

En el presente trabajo se prepararon y caracterizaron espumas de poliuretano con refuerzo multi-escalar combinando concentraciones variables de arcilla organofílica (montmorillonita) y de lana de esparto, con el propósito ...

Magnesium hydroxide filled polypropylene foams have been prepared in order to analyze the foaming effects on the microstructure, flame and thermo-mechanical beaviour of the polypropylene composites. Several load percentages ...

Low-grade magnesium hydroxide (LG-MH) is a solid by-product that undergoes an endothermic decomposition in the temperature range of 300–750 C. Due to its thermal behaviour and its lower cost relative to pure Mg(OH)2, ...

The properties of polypropylene (PP) foams can be extended by controlling the cellular structure and adding functional fillers. PP-based microcellular foams having an interesting combination of mechanical and transport ...
