The price of energy efficiency in the Spanish housing market
(Energy Policy, 2016)
The housing sector is a substantial consumer of energy, and therefore a focus for energy savings efforts. The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), introduced in 2002 and revised in 2010, is a key instrument ...
Paving the way for a wider use of composites in railway industry
(Springer International Publishing, 2019-05-13)
Different types of phosphorus containing halogen-free flame retardants (FRs) were added to an epoxy-dicyandiamide resin formulation in order to study to which extent they affect its glass transition temperature (Tg), tensile ...
UV-cross-linked poly(ethylene oxide carbonate) as free standing solid polymer electrolyte for lithium batteries
(Elsevier, 2019-04-10)
Aliphatic polycarbonates have emerged as promising polymer electrolytes due to their combination of moderate ionic conductivity and high lithium transference numbers. However, the mechanical properties of the aliphatic ...
From classical to nonparametric growth models: Towards comprehensive modelling of mussel growth patterns
(Elsevier, 2017-03-18)
Understanding biological processes, such as growth, is crucial to development management and sustainability plans for bivalve populations. Von Bertalanffy and Gompertz models have been commonly used to fit bivalve growth. ...
Strategies for the intensification of CO2 valorization in the one-step dimethyl ether synthesis process
(ACS, 2019-12-16)
The intensification of CO2 valorization has been theoretically studied in the direct synthesis of dimethyl ether (DME) carried out in a packed-bed reactor by means of two strategies pursuing the attenuation of the thermodynamic ...
Brønsted Base Catalyzed One-Pot Synthesis od Stereodefined Six-Member Carbocycles Featuring Transient Trienolates and a Key Intramolecular 1,6-Addition
(Wiley-VCH, 2019-07-31)
Acatalyst-driven one-pot reaction sequence is
developed for the enantio- and diastereoselective synthesis of
tetrasubstituted cyclohexenes from simple unsaturated ketones
or thioesters.The method involves atertiary ...
Flexible aromatic disulfide monomers for high-performance self-healable linear and cross-linked poly(urethane-urea) coatings
(Elsevier, 2019)
Implementation of the self-healing concept in coatings is challenging because they have to combine mechanical strength and chain mobility. This challenge is addressed in this work by studying the effect of the polymer ...
alpha-Branched Ketone Dienolates: Base-Catalyzed Generation and Regio- and Enantioselective Addition Reactions
(Wiley-VCH, 2019-05-14)
In this study, the unique capacity of bifunctional Brønsted bases to generate α-branched ketone dienolates and control both site- and stereoselectivity of their addition reactions to representative classes of carbon ...
Poly(ionic Liquid) Thermo-responsive Hydrogel Microfluidic Actuators
(2017-03-14)
tributylhexyl phosphonium sulfopropylacrylate (PSPA) poly(ionic liquid) (PILc) hydrogels as temperature controlled actuators in microfluidic devices. The hydrogel size is modulated by localised changes in its temperature ...
Introducing mobile edge computing capabilities through distributed 5G Cloud Enabled Small Cells
(2016)
Current trends in broadband mobile networks are addressed towards the placement of different capabilities at the edge of the mobile network in a centralised way. On one hand, the split of the eNB between baseband processing ...
