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 ...
Sustainable production of cellulose nanofiber from sugarcane trash: A quality and life cycle assessment
(Elsevier, 2021-09-29)
Developing green processes in the chemistry and engineering domains is one of the most significant challenges for sustainable production. Sugarcane trash (ST) generated during the sugar extraction process is an excellent ...
Poliuretanozko-itsasgarrien sintesia ligninan oinarritutako biopoliolak erabiliz
(2023-03-20)
Cada vez hay más patógenos resistentes ante agentes antimicrobianos. Por ello, es indispensable desarrollar nuevas estrategias para hacer frente a este problema. Una estrategia interesante es la de combinar fármacos con ...
Development of Flame-Retardant Polylactic Acid Formulations for Additive Manufacturing
(MDPI, 2024-04-10)
Polymeric materials, renowned for their lightweight attributes and design adaptability, play a pivotal role in augmenting fuel efficiency and cost-effectiveness in railway vehicle development. The tailored formulation of ...
Optimization of Ink Composition and 3D Printing Process to Develop Soy Protein-Based Scaffolds
(MDPI, 2024-03-25)
Inks based on soybean protein isolate (SPI) were developed and their formulations were optimized as a function of the ink heat treatment and the content of other biopolymers to assess the effects of protein–polysaccharides ...
