Cellular structure and mechanical properties of starch-based foamed blocks reinforced with natural fibers and produced by microwave heating
(2015-01-09)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe cellular structure and mechanical properties in compression of starch-based foams filled with natural reinforcements, such as grape wastes, cardoon wastes and barley straw fibers, have been studied in this work. The ... -
Effect of functional mineral additive on processability and material properties of wood-fiber reinforced poly(lactic acid) (PLA) composites
(2020-05)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis study examines the use of alkenyl succinic anhydride (ASA)-surface treated calcium carbonate as a functional mineral additive for application in wood fiber (WF)-reinforced PLA composites. The influence of addition ... -
Estudi de desenvolupament de fils basats en fibres provinents de subproductes agrícoles
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-09-30)
Bachelor thesis
Restricted access - author's decisionEn els últims anys un percentatge elevat de fibres d’origen natural han estat substituïdes per fibres d’origen artificial. La utilització creixent d’aquestes fibres té unes conseqüències fatídiques pel planeta ja que ... -

(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2020-06)
Article
Open AccessIn this article, with the aim of promoting sustainability, contributing to the circular economy and the fight against climate change, the production of composite materials from Bio-polyethylene reinforced with corn stover ... -
Extraction and characterization of banana fibers for its applications in composites for construction
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2017-06-10)
Bachelor thesis
Restricted access - author's decisionThrough this project has been studied the optimal method of extraction of the fiber present in the banana leaves for its possible union to other materials such as cement for the formation of a compound intended to the ... -
Mercerização/branqueamento de fibras naturais nativas: análise térmica
(2017)
Conference lecture
Open AccessO crescente consumo de materiais poliméricos originários de fontes não renováveis (base petroquímica), apresentam baixo potencial de biodegradabilidade, e podem demorar desde décadas, até séculos, para se decompor por meio ... -
Preparation and characterization of biocomposites reinforced with natural fibres
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2014-06-23)
Bachelor thesis
Restricted access - author's decision
Covenantee: Institut Universitaire de Technologie A de LilleAt the beginning 11 fibers were prepared by wet and dry cycles (hornification) but only 3 different natural fibers were characterized in order to be put in cement matrix. Biocomposites are finding applications in many ... -
Technical and environmental viability of a road bicycle pedal part made of a fully bio-based composite material
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-03-13)
Article
Open AccessGlass fibre is the most widely used material for reinforcing thermoplastic matrices presently and its use continues to grow. A significant disadvantage of glass fibre, however, is its impact on the environment, in particular, ... -
Tensile and flexural properties of cement composites reinforced with flax nonwoven fabrics
(2017-02-22)
Article
Open AccessThe aim of this study is to develop a process to produce high-performance cement-based composites reinforced with flax nonwoven fabrics, analyzing the influence of the fabric structure—thickness and entanglement—on ...
