Cellulose Nanocrystal Membranes as Excipients for Drug Delivery Systems
(MDPI, 2016-12-12)
In this work, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were obtained from flax fibers by an acid hydrolysis assisted by sonochemistry in order to reduce reaction times. The cavitation inducted during hydrolysis resulted in CNC with ...
Triethyl Citrate (TEC) as a Dispersing Aid in Polylactic Acid/Chitin Nanocomposites Prepared via Liquid-Assisted Extrusion
(MDPI, 2017-08-31)
The production of fully bio-based and biodegradable nanocomposites has gained attention during recent years due to environmental reasons; however, the production of these nanocomposites on the large-scale is challenging. ...
Functionalization of Cellulose Nanocrystals in Choline Lactate Ionic Liquid
(MDPI, 2016-06)
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are valuable nanomaterials obtained from renewable resources. Their properties make them suitable for a wide range of applications, including polymer reinforcement. However, due to their highly ...
The Antifungal Activity Of Functionalized Chitin Nanocrystals In Poly (Lactid Acid) Films.
(MDPI AG, 2017-05-18)
As, in the market, poly (lactic acid) (PLA) is the most used polymer as an alternative to conventional plastics, and as functionalized chitin nanocrystals (CHNC) can provide structural and bioactive properties, their ...
Base catalysed depolymerization of lignin: Influence of organosolv lignin nature
(2014-07)
Three different lignins obtained from olive tree pruning by organosolv processes
(acetosolv, formosolv and acetosolv/formosolv) were depolymerized by alkaline hydrolysis in a batch reactor to produce high value added ...
Antioxidant activity of phenolic compounds obtained by autohydrolysis of corn residues
(2012-03)
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of autohydrolysis temperature of corn residues in the antioxidant
activity of the phenolic compounds extracted from the liquid phase. The treatments were carried out at
160, 180, ...
Depolymerization of different organosolv lignins in supercritical methanol, ethanol and acetone to produce phenolic monomers
(ACS, 2015-12-18)
Olive tree pruning was delignified by organosolv processes (acetosolv, formosolv and acetosolv/formosolv) to extract different lignins. The obtained lignins (acetosolv lignin (AL), formosolv lignin (FL) and acetosolv/formosolv ...
Effect of the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 on lignin depolymerization
(Elsevier, 2013-05)
Lignin is a good candidate for photocatalytic cracking due to the presence of hydroxyl groups. The photocatalytic cracking reaction involves TiO2 as heterogeneous catalyst.
In the present work lignin obtained by two ...
Effect of different organosolv treatments on the structure and properties of olive tree pruning lignin
(Elsevier, 2014-05-25)
Different organosolv processes (acetosolv, formosolv and acetosolv/formosolv) were applied to extract lignin from olive tree pruning. Obtained lignins were characterized by several methods to determine their composition, ...
