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), ... -
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 ... -
Multilayer cotton fabric bio-composites based on PLA and PHB copolymer for industrial load carrying applications
(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 ... -
Melt-processing of cellulose nanofibril/polylactide bionanocomposites via a sustainable polyethylene glycol-based carrier system
(2019-08-10)
Article
Open AccessConsidering the appealing need for an industrially viable approach, this works aims at demonstrating the rapid and easy melt processing of Polylactide (PLA) bio-composites reinforced with cellulose nanofibrils (CNF). For ... -
Boron/nitrogen flame retardant additives cross-linked cellulose nanofibril/montmorillonite aerogels towards super low flammability and improved mechanical properties
(2019-04-07)
Article
Open AccessLow-flammability freeze-dried cellulose nanofibril (CNF)/sodium montmorillonite (MMT) aerogels with improved mechanical properties were fabricated via a facile cross-linking of boric acid (BA) and melamine-formaldehyde ... -
Improvement of the replication quality of randomly micro-textured injection-moulding components using a multi-scale surface analysis
(Elsevier Ltd, 2019-06)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this work, the relations between the replication quality of random, coarse textured, surfaces with the injection-moulding process has been analysed through 3D areal characterisation techniques. The multi-scale surface ...
