A Review on Sustainable Inks for Printed Electronics: Materials for Conductive, Dielectric and Piezoelectric Sustainable Inks
(MDPI, 2023-05-24)
In the last decades, the demand for electronics and, therefore, electronic waste, has increased. To reduce this electronic waste and the impact of this sector on the environment, it is necessary to develop biodegradable ...
One-Step Method for Direct Acrylation of Vegetable Oils: A Biobased Material for 3D Printing
(MDPI, 2023-07-24)
The substitution of fossil resources by alternatives derived from biomass is a reality that is taking on a growing relevance in the chemical and energy industries. In this sense, fats, oils, and their derived products have ...
Design and 3D printing of an electrochemical sensor for Listeria monocytogenes detection based on loop mediated isothermal amplification
(Elsevier, 2023-01)
The aim of this work is the design and 3D printing of a new electrochemical sensor for the detection of Listeria monocytogenes based on loop mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). The food related diseases involve a ...
Improving the Recyclability of an Epoxy Resin through the Addition of New Biobased Vitrimer
(MDPI, 2023-09-12)
In recent decades, the use of thermoset epoxy resins (ER) has spread to countless applications due to their mechanical properties, heat resistance and stability. However, these ERs are neither biodegradable nor recyclable ...
Covalent Cross-Linking as a Strategy to Prepare Water-Dispersible Chitosan Nanogels
(MDPI, 2023-01-13)
Due to the environmental problems generated by petroleum derivative polymers as mentioned in Agenda 2030, the use of natural polymers is increasing. Among them, cellulose and chitin are the most widespread biopolymers ...
Sustainable Bio-Based Epoxy Resins with Tunable Thermal and Mechanic Properties and Superior Anti-Corrosion Performance
(MDPI, 2023-10-21)
Bio-based epoxy thermoset resins have been developed from epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) cured with tannic acid (TA). These two substances of vegetable origin have been gathering attention due to their accessibility, favorable ...
Strategies to Enhance Biomedical Device Performance and Safety: A Comprehensive Review
(MDPI, 2023-11-21)
This paper reviews different approaches to obtain biomaterials with tailored functionalities and explains their significant characteristics that influence their bioactivity. The main goal of this discussion underscores the ...
Graphene-Enhanced Methacrylated Alginate Gel Films for Sustainable Dye Removal in Water Purification
(MDPI, 2023-12-27)
Self-standing nanocomposite films were prepared by three-dimensional UV-induced radical copolymerization of methacrylated alginate (MALG) with acrylic acid (AA) and reinforced with graphene oxide (GO) to improve both ...
