Stabilization of a Clay Soil Using Cementing Material from Spent Refractories and Ground-Granulated Blast Furnace Slag
(MDPI, 2021-03-10)
Nowadays, huge amounts of refractory materials are generated around the world. The majority of them lack valorization methods. This study analyzes the ability of a doloma and two magnesia spent refractory wastes as soil ...
Mechanical Properties of Three Bamboo Species: Effect of External Climatic Conditions and Fungal Infestation in Laboratory Conditions
(MDPI, 2022-12-07)
Bamboo is a material with good tensile and flexural resistance. As a construction material with structural capacity, using bamboo implies considerable environmental advantages in relation to other typical materials such ...
Vermicomposting of Lavender Waste: A Biological Laboratory Investigation
(MDPI, 2022-11-25)
In the present work, lavender waste, a residue of the essential oil extract industry, was used to feed Eisenia andrei with mature horse manure at ratios of 0:100, 25:75, 50:50, 75:25 and 100:0 on dry weight basis. ...
Effect of powder particle size distribution on the surface finish of components manufactured by laser powder bed fusion
(Springer, 2023)
One of the key aspects of the laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) process is the quality of the raw powder since it affects the final properties of the manufactured parts. In this study, 13 batches of Inconel (R) 718 powder ...
Thermal endurance of xylitol as a phase change material for thermal energy storage applications
(Elsevier, 2022-11)
Xylitol shares the good thermophysical properties of other sugar alcohols that are candidates for thermal storage purposes, with one singularity: it shows noticeable supercooling coupled with a low crystallization rate. ...
A comprehensive study of the phase segregation of a urea-based phase change material tested under thermal cycling conditions
(Elsevier, 2023-04)
Eutectic mixtures are used as PCMs due to the possibility to tailor the melting temperatures and mainly because the phase transition occurs at a unique temperature. Eutectic mixtures are assumed to be congruent melting and ...
Self-assembled three-dimensional hydrogels based on graphene derivatives and cerium oxide nanoparticles: scaffolds for co-culture of oligodendrocytes and neurons derived from neural stem cells
(American Chemical Society, 2023-03)
Stem cell-based therapies have shown promising results for the regeneration of the nervous system. However, the survival and integration of the stem cells in the neural circuitry is suboptimal and might compromise the ...
Traditional Medicinal Uses of the Eurasian Wild Grapevine in the Iberian Peninsula
(Consejo Superior Investigaciones Cientificas-Csic, 2020)
The Iberian Peninsula constitutes the Western limit of the dioecious Eurasian wild grapevine (Vitis vinifera L. subsp. sylvestris). At present, it is a threatened plant, due to human impacts. This liana has had different ...
Lactide-Valerolactone Copolymers for Packaging Applications
(MDPI, 2021-12-23)
Lactide-valerolactone copolymers have potential application in the packaging sector. Different copolymers were synthesized, and the kinetics of the copolymerization reactions and the microstructure of the copolymers were ...
Innovative nanotechnology tools for the functional control and tracking of human stem cells
(Elsevier, 2022-12)
The precise control of stem cell behavior, including differentiation, transdifferentiation, and reprog-ramming, is fundamental for safely and efficiently using human stem cells in regenerative medicine. Thanks to recent ...
