    As a result of the pandemic and the new tax on the use of plastics in the EU, the consumption of cellulose has increased, especially for cardboard boxes as e-commerce packaging. Due to this high demand, the price of cellulose ...
  • Transformation of a waste from the paper industry into a nanocellulosic material 

    Huete Matute, Noemi; Cusola Aumedes, Oriol; Roncero Vivero, María Blanca (2022)
    Conference lecture
    Open Access
    The constant search for productive improvements in the paper industry and the growing awareness of society about the problems derived from the use of fossil-based materials, are pushing the research efforts towards the ...
  • Natural additives to enhance the barrier properties of nanocellulose films 

    Fernández Santos, Julia; Valls Vidal, Cristina; Cusola Aumedes, Oriol; Roncero Vivero, María Blanca (2022)
    Conference lecture
    Open Access
    Finding alternatives to fossil-based materials is one of the most important challenges of our time. Since cellulose is the most abundant natural polymer on the planet, its use to solve this challenge would be ideal. In the ...
  • Cellulose acetate films from chemo-enzymatic dissolving pulps 

    Quintana, Elisabet; Ago, Mariko; Valls Vidal, Cristina; Fernández Santos, Julia; Roncero Vivero, María Blanca; Rojas, Orlando J. (2022)
    Conference lecture
    Open Access
    The purpose of this work is to obtain dissolving cellulose fibers that are suitable for the manufacturing of cellulose derivatives. Therefore, the combination of enzymatic and chemical treatments during the bleaching stage ...
  • Analysis of lignin content in alkaline treated hemp fibres: thermogravimetric studies and determination of kinetics of delignification 

    Mijas Vélez, Gabriela Dayana; Manich, Albert; Lis Arias, Manuel José; Riba, Marta; Algaba Joaquín, Inés María; Cayuela Marín, Diana (2021)
    Conference lecture
