A feasibility study of the installation of a modular bioreactor inside a chemical scrubber at a wastewater treatment plant
(Elsevier, 2021-03)
Chemical scrubbing and biofiltration are well-established technologies for treating contaminated pollutants generated at wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Nevertheless, the growing need to reduce the ecological footprint ...
Spatio-seasonal patterns of the impact of wastewater treatment plant effluents on antibiotic resistance in river sediments
(Elsevier, 2023-02)
There is a growing concern about the risk of antibiotic resistance emergence and dissemination in the environment. Here, we evaluated the spatio-seasonal patterns of the impact of wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents ...
3D printed alginate-cellulose nanofibers based patches for local curcumin administration
(Elsevier, 2021-07)
Alginate and nanocellulose are potential biomaterials to be employed as bioinks for three-dimensional (3D) printing. Alginate-cellulose nanofibers (A-CNF) formulations with CNF amounts up to 5 wt% were developed and ...
The versatility of collagen and chitosan: From food to biomedical applications
(Elsevier, 2021-07)
Biodegradable polymers obtained from renewable resources, such as chitosan and collagen, are sustainable alternatives to develop environmentally friendly materials. Due to their abundance, biocompatibility and antimicrobial ...
The challenge of education for sustainability in higher education: key themes and competences within the University of the Basque Country
(Frontiers Media, 2023-07)
Introduction: One of the major challenges for higher education institutions in the last decade has been (and will continue to be) the integration of sustainability into their curricula and the development of sustainability ...
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, ...
Biocomposites Based on Poly(Lactic Acid) Matrix and Reinforced with Lignocellulosic Fibers: The Effect of Fiber Type and Matrix Modification
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-02-14)
in composite materials, two or more different components are combined to produce a new material with different characteristics from the individual components. In recent years, due to environmental concerns, the development ...
