Background: The increasing interest in replacing petroleum-based products by more sustainable materials in the packaging sector gives relevance to cellulose as a biodegradable natural resource. Moreover, its properties can ...

Bacterial cellulose was combined with wood cellulose papers in order to obtain biomaterials with increased barrier properties. For this purpose, different parameters were assessed: two producing bacterial strains ...

Over the past decade, bio-based polymers, especially in packaging, have gained a bigger role due to the over consuming of petrol derivates and the gradually growing concerns relating environment and sustainability issues. ...

A TCF sulphite pulp, bleached at the laboratory scale with a laccase–violuric acid system and complemented with a pressurized hydrogen peroxide stage, was treated with two endoglucanases, one obtained from Paenibacillus ...

A new, industrially feasible method for conferring cellulosic substrates antioxidant properties by using enzymatic products was developed. The method allows cellulose surfaces such as those of paper sheets to be conferred ...

La presente investigación busca innovar entorno a los métodos constructivos y su aplicación de manera sostenible. La investigación se enfoca en la adición de la pulpa de celulosa de papel reciclado en el mortero, sirviendo ...

In the present work various laccases (Lac) and different phenolic compounds potentially possessing antioxidant action were used in an enzymatic reaction to prepare several functionalization solutions (FS), which were then ...

This research analyses the effect of hydrothermal aging on the water uptake and mechanical performance of biocomposites based on a polyhydroxyalkanoate matrix and flax fibre reinforcement in the form of nonwoven (NW) ...

This study presents an enhanced paper-based analytical device (PAD) for forward and reverse group blood typing. The proposed PAD uses a novel methodology, which provides highly reliable results on a fully cellulose based ...

En un futur pròxim es preveu que augmentarà l´ús de materials naturals, renovables i biodegradables com una font materials degut a la gradual disminució dels productes derivats del petroli, els quals són no biodegradables ...
