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.

Effect of chitin nanocrystals on crystallization and properties of poly(lactic acid)-based nanocomposites
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2020-03-01)
Article
Open AccessThe crystalline phase of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) has crucial effects on its own properties and nanocomposites. In this study, the isothermal crystallization of PLA, triethyl citrate-plasticized PLA (PLA–TEC), and its ... -
Modification of poly(lactic) acid by reactive extrusion and its melt-blending with acrylonitrile butadiene styrene
(2020-04-05)
Article
Open AccessPoly(lactic) acid, (PLA) is a biodegradable polymer that has attracted interest as a potential substitute for some thermoplastic polymers. However, its advanced brittleness at room temperature represents one of the major ... -
Heat source and voiding signatures of Mullins damage in filled EPDM
(Elsevier, 2020-11)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe thermomechanical coupling of Mullins damage in filled EPDM has been investigated by analysing the self-heating via Infrared thermography (IR) and the voiding fraction by Digital Image Correlation (DIC). The volumetric ... -
Influence of topographical features on the surface appearance measurement of injection moulded components
(Elsevier, 2020-11)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyAdding textures to surfaces is known to improve the external appearance of injection moulded components. However, when high surface quality is required, normally a paint coating is applied on top of the moulded textured ... -
Biphasic polylactide/polyamide 6,10 blends: Influence of composition on polyamide structure and polyester crystallization
(Elsevier, 2020-08-12)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyBlends with different ratios of polylactide and polyamide 6,10 (PA610) have been prepared by melt-mixing using a Brabender mixer equipment. Previously, a rheologically modified polylactide (PLAREx) was obtained through ... -

An investigation on the effect of pressure and temperature on microcellular foams of Poly(lactic) acid (PLA)/Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS) binary blends
(Springer, 2020-05-30)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyReducing the weight of petrol-derived plastics is a common way to decrease the environmental impact of several products. Another option consist in using biopolymers instead. However, most of the times, the complete ... -
Evaluation of the mechanical properties of Poly(Lactic) Acid/ABS Bio-Blend foams
(Springer, 2020-05-30)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyFoaming is a powerful method that allows lightening of products and reducing the amount of material used. Poly(lactic) acid (PLA) is considered a promising thermoplastic for the replacement of traditional non-biodegradable ... -
Aerogeles compuestos multicapa a partir de biopolimeros y arcilla
(2019-10-15)
Article
Open AccessEn este trabajo se han desarrollado diferentes aerogeles con baja flamabilidad basados en la combinación de biopolimeros renovables y montmorillonta (MMT). Los compuestos fueron hechos usando agua como solvente y siguiendo ... -
Using the small punch test to analyse the influence of ultraviolet radiation on the mechanical behaviour of recycled polyethylene terephthalate
(2019-10-01)
Article
Open AccessThe aim of this work is to evaluate the feasibility of small punch test as a tool for analysing the mechanical response of small plastic parts or specimens. Here, the small punch test was used to study the possible influence ... -
The effect of titanium dioxide surface modification on the dispersion, morphology, and mechanical properties of recycled PP/PET/TiO2 PBNANOs
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2019-10-16)
Article
Open AccessTitanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles have recently appeared in PET waste because of the introduction of opaque PET bottles. We prepare polymer blend nanocomposites (PBNANOs) by adding hydrophilic (hphi), hydrophobic (hpho), ...
