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.

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 ... -

(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), ... -
Antibacterial polyurethane foams with incorporated lignin-capped silver nanoparticles for chronic wound treatment
(2020-02-26)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyLignin-capped silver nanoparticles were incorporated in situ into polyurethane foams during their polymerization to obtain multifunctional materials suitable for chronic wound dressing. Lignin with increased phenolic ... -

(Elsevier, 2019-04-15)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe thermo-mechanical and impact behavior of bio-based polymers reinforced with a multilayer cotton fabric were determined and assessed for the potential use in building, furniture or automotive applications. The measured ... -
Crystallization of triethyl-citrate-plasticized poly(lactic acid) induced by chitin nanocrystals
(Wiley, 2019-01-01)
Article
Open AccessThe aim of this study was to gain a better understanding of the crystallization behavior of triethyl-citrate-plasticized poly(lactic acid) (PLA–TEC) in the presence of chitin nanocrystals (ChNCs). The isothermal crystallization ... -
PLA/PA bio-blends: induced morphology by extrusion
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2019-12-19)
Article
Open AccessThe effect of processing conditions on the final morphology of Poly(Lactic Acid) (PLA) with bio-based Polyamide 10.10 (PA) 70/30 blends is analyzed in this paper. Two types of PLA were used: Commercial (neat PLA) and a ... -
Influence of topography on the scratch and mar visibility resistance of randomly micro-textured surfaces
(Elsevier, 2019-12-15)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this research, the influence of the macro- and micro-topography on randomly micro-textured polypropylene surfaces has been studied. An initial characterization of the underlying surface was carried out using three-dimensional ... -
Multivariate identification of extruded PLA samples from the infrared spectrum
(Springer, 2020-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyPolylactic acid (PLA) is a biodegradable thermoplastic polymer that is presented as a good alternative to petroleum-derived plastics. Some of the major drawbacks of this material are its lack of thermal stability and rapid ...
