Nucleation and Crystallization of PA6 Composites Prepared by T-RTM: Effects of Carbon and Glass Fiber Loading
(MDPI, 2019-10-14)
Thermoplastic resin transfer molding (T-RTM) is attracting much attention due to the need for recyclable alternatives to thermoset materials. In this work, we have prepared polyamide-6 (PA6) and PA6/fiber composites by ...
Towards Circular Economy: Different Strategies for Polyurethane Waste Recycling and the Obtaining of New Products
(MDPI, 2018-11-22)
As a consequence of the high production and simultaneous consumption of polyurethanes
(PU) a great volume of PU waste is landfilled. In this scenario, suitable and efficient routes for PU
waste recycling have been searched ...
Lignocellulosic Biomass as a Source of Raw Materials for the Synthesis of Polyurethanes
(MDPI, 2018-11-06)
Precursors have been satisfactorily synthesized from lignocellulosic biomass for later use in the synthesis of polyurethanes resulting in competitive final properties with those of petroleum derived polyurethanes
Electrospinning of Fish Gelatin Solution Containing Citric Acid: An Environmentally Friendly Approach to Prepare Crosslinked Gelatin Fibers
(MDPI, 2019-09-01)
The majority of the crosslinking approaches employed to confer water resistance properties to electrospun gelatin mats are based on the use of potential cytotoxic agents, turning out to be not suitable for biomedical ...
Genome sequence and characterization of the bcs clusters for the production of nanocellulose from the low pH resistant strain Komagataeibacter medellinensis ID13488
(Wiley, 2019-02-22)
Komagataeibacter medellinensis ID13488 (formerly Gluconacetobacter medellinensis ID13488) is able to produce crystalline bacterial cellulose (BC) under high acidic growth conditions. These abilities make this strain desirable ...
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 ...
Assessment of Biomass Energy Potential and Forest Carbon Stocks in Biscay (Spain)
(MDPI, 2016-03)
The aim of this research is to identify, quantify and characterize the potential available forest biomass of Pinus radiata D. Don and Eucalyptus globulus Labill. across Biscay province in northern Spain. In order to do ...
Spatial Distribution of Biomass and Woody Litter for Bio-Energy in Biscay (Spain)
(MDPI, 2018-05)
Forest management has been considered a subject of interest, because they act as carbon (C) sinks to mitigate CO2 emissions and also as producers of woody litter (WL) for bio-energy. Overall, a sustainably managed system ...
Supramolecular Structure and Renaturation of a (1→3)-β-D-Glucan Compared with Curdlan and Scleroglucan
(MDPI, 2014-09-22)
A (1→3)-β-D-Glucan produced by Lactobacillus suebicus CUPV221 strain was
investigated by tapping mode atomic force microscopy (TM-AFM), to compare its
supramolecular structure and conformation with two commercial ...
Sustainable Renewable Energy by Means of Using Residual Forest Biomass
(MDPI, 2018-12-21)
The substitution of energy based on fossil fuel by bioenergy could be an effective solution to reduce external energy dependency, thereby promoting sustainable development. This article details a study of the use of biomass ...
