Effect of chain extender and water-quenching on the properties of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) foams for its production by extrusion foaming
(2016-10-01)
Article
Open AccessBacterial polyesters such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are of great interest for a large number of applications both because of their properties and because they come from renewable resources, despite having a higher ... -
Effects of hydrothermal aging on the water uptake and tensile properties of PHB/flax fabric biocomposites
(2017-06-12)
Article
Open AccessThis 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) ... -
Gas dissolution foaming as a novel approach for the production of lightweight biocomposites of PHB/natural fibre fabrics
(2018-02-28)
Article
Open AccessThe aim of this study is to propose and explore a novel approach for the production of cellular lightweight natural ¿bre, nonwoven, fabric-reinforced biocomposites by means of gas dissolution foaming from composite precursors ... -
Influence of foaming process on the structure-properties relationship of foamed LDPE/silica nanocomposites
(Elsevier, 2013-05)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this paper LDPE/silica nanocomposites are foamed by two different processes. First one is the pressure quench method which is based on the use of a physical blowing agent and second one is the improved compression ... -
Strategies to improve the mechanical properties of starch-based materials: plasticization and natural fibers reinforcement
(2014-07-14)
Article
Open AccessBiodegradable polymers are starting to be introduced as raw materials in the food-packaging market. Nevertheless, their price is very high. Starch, a fully biodegradable and bioderived polymer is a very interesting alternative ...
