    Open Access
    Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) were mixed with either cellulose nanofibril (CNF) or carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) in variable proportions (0/100, 20/80, 40/60, 50/50, 60/40, 80/20 and 100/0) to obtain cast films with acceptable ...

  • Compulsive sexual behavior online and non-online in adult male patients and healthy controls: comparison in sociodemographic, clinical, and personality variables 

    González Bueso, Vega; Santamaría, Juan José; Caro Pérez, Oriol; Fernández Martínez, Daniel; Baño-Alcazar, Marta; Jiménez Murcia, Susana; Hakansson, Anders; del Pino Gutiérrez, Amparo; Ribas, Joan (Frontiers Media SA, 2022-05-03)
    Article
    Open Access
    Background and Aims: Compulsive sexual behavior (CSB) is characterized by a persistent pattern of failure to control sexual impulses, resulting in repetitive sexual behavior over a prolonged period that causes marked ...

  • Ionic liquids-assisted bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass for the development of value-added products 

    Amini, Elahe; Valls Vidal, Cristina; Roncero Vivero, María Blanca (2021-10-11)
    Article
    Open Access
    Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant renewable and inexpensive source that can be used to produce biofuels and bioproducts. One of the major limitations of biomass valorisation is its recalcitrance to an efficient ...

  • Improving filmogenic and barrier properties of nanocellulose films by addition of biodegradable plasticizers 

    Fernández Santos, Julia; Valls Vidal, Cristina; Cusola Aumedes, Oriol; Roncero Vivero, María Blanca (2021-07-14)
    Article
    Open Access
    Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were mixed with various additives to obtain films with good barrier and mechanical properties as replacements for petroleum-based plastics. The influence of different doses of additives including ...

  • Sustainability in e-commerce packaging: a review 

    Escursell Martínez, Silvia; Llorach Massana, Pere; Roncero Vivero, María Blanca (2021-01-20)
    Article
    Open Access
    Online purchasing, and hence e-commerce packaging production and use, have grown steadily in recent years, and so has their environmental impact as a result. This paper reviews the evolution of packaging over the last ...

  • Development of an antimicrobial bioactive paper made from bacterial cellulose 

    Buruaga Ramiro, Carolina; Valenzuela, Susana V.; Valls Vidal, Cristina; Roncero Vivero, María Blanca; Javier Pastor, F.I.; Diaz Lucea, M. Pilar; Martinez Soler, Josefina (2020-09-01)
    Article
    Open Access
    Bacterial cellulose (BC) has emerged as an attractive adsorptive material for antimicrobial agents due to its fine network structure, its large surface area, and its high porosity. In the present study, BC paper was first ...

  • Bacterial cellulose-chitosan paper with antimicrobial and antioxidant activities 

    Cabañas Romero, L. Verónica; Valls Vidal, Cristina; Valenzuela, Susana V.; Roncero Vivero, María Blanca; Javier Pastor, F.I.; Diaz Lucea, M. Pilar; Martínez Martínez, Josefina (2020-03-12)
    Article
    Open Access
    The production of paper-based bacterial cellulose-chitosan (BC-Ch) nanocomposites was accomplished following two different approaches. In the first, BC paper sheets were produced and then immersed in an aqueous solution ...

  • Nanofibrillar networks enable universal assembly of superstructured particle constructs 

    Mattos, Bruno D.; Tardy, Blaise L.; Greca, Luiz G.; Kämäräinen, Tero; Xiang, Wenchao; Cusola Aumedes, Oriol; Magalhães, Washington; Rojas, Orlando J. (2020-05-08)
    Article
    Open Access
    Superstructured colloidal materials exploit the synergies between components to develop new or enhanced functions. Cohesion is a primary requirement for scaling up these assemblies into bulk materials, and it has only been ...

  • Elucidating the chemical nature of laccase-modified alkyl gallates 

    Cusola Aumedes, Oriol; Valls Vidal, Cristina; Vidal Lluciá, Teresa; Roncero Vivero, María Blanca (2020-06-12)
    Article
    Open Access
    In the first part of the present work, relevant findings concerning the laccase (Lacc) activation of alkyl gallates, and its implementation in developing hydrophobic properties on cellulose-based substrates are reported. ...

  • Bacterial cellulose matrices to develop enzymatically active paper
