Valorization of White Grape Pomace: Integral Strategies for Advanced Applications
(2023-12-19)
Sustainable agricultural waste management is crucial to supply increasing food demands. Grape pomace from Txakoli wine production poses environmental issues, but the circular economy is emerging as a solution to minimize ...
Reversible optical storage properties of nanostructured epoxy-based thermosets modified with azobenzene units
(ACS, 2011-11-22)
Azo-containing polymers are of particular interest in the design of materials for applications in optical recording. The aim of this contribution was the synthesis and characterization of optically active epoxy-based ...
Enhanced stability of photo-induced anisotropy due to intermolecular interactions in an azo-prepolymer confined in block copolymer
(Elsevier, 2013-02-08)
Many efforts in the field of azobenzene-containing polymers are concentrated on exploring new material concepts to obtain efficient and stable photo-induced anisotropy. Here, an easy approach to improve the birefringent ...
Thermo-responsive properties of self-healable thermosets based on epoxidized soybean oil
(Elsevier, 2024-01-26)
In this work, epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) based thermosetting materials cured with citric acid (CA) and modified with low molecular weight 4′-(hexyloxy)-4-biphenyl-carbonitrile (HOBC) nematic liquid crystal were synthesised ...
Modelización fotoquímica optimizada aplicada a la comprensión de los episodos de ozono troposférico en el Atlántico-Sur europeo
(2021-07-07)
Más del 98% de la población europea está expuesta a niveles nocivos de ozono troposférico según la OMS. En el Sur de Europa, la situación es todavía más grave debido a que, las mayores temperaturas y horas de luz solar que ...
Effect of Different Compatibilizers on the Properties of Green Low-Density Polyethylene Composites Reinforced with Bambusa Vulgaris Bamboo Fibers
(MDPI, 2024-06-21)
Low-density green polyethylene (LDGPE) composites reinforced with 5 wt% of bamboo fiber and 3 wt% of a compatibilizing agent (polyethylene grafted with maleic anhydride and tannin) were processed through extrusion and ...
Elaboration of Thermally Performing Polyurethane Foams, Based on Biopolyols, with Thermal Insulating Applications
(MDPI, 2024-01-16)
In this work, biobased rigid polyurethane foams (PUFs) were developed with the aim of achieving thermal and fireproofing properties that can compete with those of the commercially available products. First, the synthesis ...
