Chitin nanowhisker-containing photo-crosslinked antimicrobial gelatin films
(Elsevier, 2024-02)
Nearly 57 Mt of food waste are generated annually in the EU for many reasons, for instance, because of microbial food spoilage. So, actions to reduce food loss and waste are needed and active packaging could offer a new ...
Pectin and pectin/chitosan hydrogel beads as coffee essential oils carrier systems
(Elsevier, 2024-06)
Two pectin fractions extracted from coffee pulp, one high-methoxylated (Coffea arabica pectin, CAP) and other low-methoxylated (chelating agent-soluble pectic fraction, CSP), were used for the development of hydrogel beads ...
Valorisation of Sub-Products from Pyrolysis of Carbon Fibre-Reinforced Plastic Waste: Catalytic Recovery of Chemicals from Liquid and Gas Phases
(MDPI, 2024-02-21)
Waste carbon fibre-reinforced plastics were recycled by pyrolysis followed by a thermo-catalytic treatment in order to achieve both fibre and resin recovery. The conventional pyrolysis of this waste produced unusable gas ...
Strategies for Improving Sustainability in the Development of High-Performance Styrenic Block Copolymers by Developing Blends with Cellulose Derivatives
(MDPI, 2024-03-21)
Next-generation high-performance polymers require consideration as sustainable solutions. Here, to satisfy these criteria, we propose to combine high-performance styrenic block copolymers, a class of thermoplastic elastomer, ...
Dielectric characterisation of chitosan-based composite membranes containing fractionated kraft and organosolv lignin
(Elsevier, 2024-03)
Chitosan-based composite membranes with fractionated kraft and organosolv lignin were prepared by solvent casting. A small lignin fraction (1%) was added to the neat chitosan to obtain a good distribution. The influence ...
Self-assembly and crystallization of double crystalline aliphatic thermoplastic biopolyurethane and its nucleation with cellulose nanocrystals
(Elsevier, 2022-01-13)
[EN] An aliphatic segmented thermoplastic biopolyurethane (STPU), based on aliphatic hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) and 1,3 propanediol (1,3PD) as urethane rich phase and a poly(sebacate) as a macrodiol phase, with ~50 ...
Polyvinylidene fluoride supported phase change material fibers fabricated via emulsion jet injection method
(Elsevier, 2024-04)
The manufacture of fibers with thermoregulatory properties is generating increasing interest, given the ease with which these materials can be adapted to different geometries and applications such as the production of ...

Emerging Reprocessable and Recyclable Biobased Cross-Linked Polyurethanes Through Diels–Alder Chemistry
(ACS, 2024)
[EN] Cross-linked polyurethanes (PUs) present outstanding properties and high versatility, making them ideal to use in many different applications. Nevertheless, the intersection of environmental and socioeconomic concerns ...
Application of zeolites for the production of biofuels and furans from hexose sugars in ethanol
(Elsevier, 2024-02)
The use of zeolites as catalysts in the transformation of glucose and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) into 5-ethoxymethylfurfural (EMF) was evaluated. The behaviour of the catalysts could be explained by their morphology, ...
