e-PLASCOM - Plàstics i Compòsits Ecològics
e-PLASCOM realitza la seva recerca en el camp de la Ciència i Tecnologia de materials Plàstics i Compòsits, estudiant la relació entre el processament-estructura generada-propietats. Té com a objectiu general la disminució del impacte ambiental dels productes de plàstic, utilizant matèries primeres reciclades o de origen renovable, aixi com tecnologies de fabricació sostenibles. Ha desenvolupat projectes enfocats en la modificació de PLA amb diferents estratègies: preparació de nano compòsits, extrusió reactiva i mesclat amb altres termoplàstics.

Characteristic time of strain induced crystallization of crosslinked natural rubber
(Elsevier, 2012-06)
Article
Open AccessReal time Wide-Angle X-ray Scattering (WAXS) measurements during cyclic tensile tests at high strain rates (from 8 s-1–280 s-1) and at room temperature on crosslinked Natural Rubber (NR) are performed thanks to a specific ... -
Strain-induced crystallization of natural rubber and cross-link densities heterogeneities
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2014-08-26)
Article
Open AccessStrain-induced crystallization (SIC) of natural rubber (NR) is characterized during a cyclic deformation at room temperature and low strain rate (~10–3 s–1) using in situ wide angle X-rays scattering (WAXS) measurements. ... -
Strain induced crystallization and melting of natural rubber during dynamic cycles
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2015)
Article
Open AccessStrain-induced crystallization (SIC) of natural rubber (NR) is studied during dynamic cycles at high frequencies (with equivalent strain rates ranging from 7.2 s-1 to 290 s-1). The testing parameters are varied: the ... -
EcoBlends’up: PLA/BioPA blends composites, microfibrillated “in situ” through additive manufacturing
(2022-04)
Article
Open AccessIn certain polymer blends, a properly oriented microfibrillar morphology of the dispersed phase during the processing stage can generate a reinforcing effect by increasing the fracture toughness, especially in the crack ... -
Influence of the melt extrusion process on the mechanical behavior and the thermal properties of ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer by applying the successive self-nucleation and annealing thermal fractionation
(2021-04-26)
Article
Open AccessEthylene vinyl alcohol copolymer was processed three times in a twin-screw extrusion pilot plant in order to reproduce the processing steps required to obtain EVOH nanocomposites. Thin film of the extruded EVOH was prepared ... -
