Triethyl Citrate (TEC) as a Dispersing Aid in Polylactic Acid/Chitin Nanocomposites Prepared via Liquid-Assisted Extrusion
(MDPI, 2017-08-31)
The production of fully bio-based and biodegradable nanocomposites has gained attention during recent years due to environmental reasons; however, the production of these nanocomposites on the large-scale is challenging. ...
The Antifungal Activity Of Functionalized Chitin Nanocrystals In Poly (Lactid Acid) Films.
(MDPI AG, 2017-05-18)
As, in the market, poly (lactic acid) (PLA) is the most used polymer as an alternative to conventional plastics, and as functionalized chitin nanocrystals (CHNC) can provide structural and bioactive properties, their ...
Soil Erosion and Forests Biomass as Energy Resource in the Basin of the Oka River in Biscay, Northern Spain
(MDPI, 2017-07)
The aim of this work has been the development of a methodology for the evaluation of residual forest biomass in Biscay, a province in northern Spain. The study area is located in the Oka river basin, an area of great ...
Strain sensitive conductive polyurethane foam/graphene nanocomposites prepared by impregnation method
(Elsevier, 2017-03-14)
Se prepararon nanocompuestos de espuma de poliuretano conductores mediante la incorporación de flakes de grafeno. Los flakes de grafeno se obtuvieron a partir de grafito por el método de exfoliación líquida en N metilpirrolidona ...
Analysis of the effect of temperature reaction time on yields, compositions and oil quality in 3 catalytic and non-catalytic lignin solvolysis in a formic acid/water media using experimental design.
(Elsevier, 2017-03-01)
[EN] The catalytic solvolysis of Norway spruce (Picea abies L.) lignin in a formic acid/water media was explored at different temperatures and reaction times (283–397 °C and 21–700 min, respectively). Non-catalyzed experiments ...
Azopolymer film as an actuator for organizing multiwall carbon nanotubes
(Elsevier, 2017-01-25)
In this work we show the feasibility of using an azopolymer as an actuator to induce nano- and
microscale movements controlled with light from the far field. We study azopolymers and their interaction
with multi-walled ...
Chicken feathers as a natural source of sulphur to develop sustainable protein films with enhanced properties
(Elsevier, 2017-08-05)
In this work, the effect of hydrolyzed keratin on the properties of soy protein-based films was analyzed when different manufacture processes were employed. It is widely known that the processing method selected can affect ...
High-Performance Magnetic Activated Carbon from Solid Waste from Lignin Conversion Processes. 2. Their Use as NiMo Catalyst Supports for Lignin Conversion
(ACS Publications, 2017-10-27)
[EN] Lignin conversion processes produce carbon-rich residues
[Oregui-Bengoechea et al. J. Anal. Appl. Pyrolysis 2015, 113, 713−722;
Zakzeski et al. Chem. Rev. 2010, 110, 3552−3599] that can be converted into
valuable ...
High-Performance Magnetic Activated Carbon from Solid Waste from Lignin Conversion Processes. 1. Their Use As Adsorbents for CO2
(ACS Publications, 2017-03-09)
[EN] Lignin is naturally abundant and a renewable precursor with the potential to be used in the production of both chemicals and materials. As many lignin conversion processes suffer from a significant production of solid ...
Thermocatalytic conversion of lignin in an ethanol/formic acid medium with NiMo catalysts: role of the metal and acid sites
(Elsevier, 2017-11-15)
[EN] NiMo catalysts supported on different sulfated and non-sulfated aluminas and zirconias were studied for the catalytic conversion of lignin in a formic acid/ethanol medium. All the pre-reduced NiMo-support combinations ...
