Magnetically responsive chitosan-pectin films incorporating Fe3O4 nanoparticles with enhanced antimicrobial activity.
(Elsevier, 2023-02)
Chitosan-pectin films with iron oxide (Fe3O4) magnetic nanoparticles were prepared by solution casting in order to produce biopolymer based magnetically active materials. Infrared (FTIR) spectra indicated physical interactions ...
Combination of 3D printing and electrospinning to develop chitin/gelatin/PVA scaffolds
(ACC Science, 2023)
In this study, novel scaffolds based on natural polymers were developed by combining 3D printing (3DP) and electrospinning (ES) techniques. ES ink was prepared with gelatin and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), while 3DP ink was ...
Sustainable Collagen Blends with Different Ionic Liquids for Resistive Touch Sensing Applications
(American Chemical Society, 2023-04)
Considering the sustainable development goals to reduce environmental impact, sustainable sensors based on natural polymers are a priority as the large im plementation of these materials is required considering the Internet ...
Effect of sterilization processes on alginate/gelatin inks for three-dimensional printing
(WHIOCE, 2023)
Sterilization is a crucial step in the process of developing bioinks for tissue engineering applications. In this work, alginate/gelatin inks were subjected to three sterilization methods: ultraviolet (UV) radiation, ...
Whey Protein Films for Sustainable Food Packaging: Effect of Incorporated Ascorbic Acid and Environmental Assessment
(MDPI, 2023-01-11)
The management of food waste and by-products has become a challenge for the agri-food sector and an example are whey by-products produced in dairy industries. Seeking other whey valorisation alternatives and applications, ...
Sustainable lithium-ion battery separators based on cellulose and soy protein membranes
(Elsevier, 2023-09)
The food industry produces millions of tons of natural by-products. Through this study, we followed an environmentally friendly strategy using discards, such as soy protein isolate (SPI) from soya oil production and marine ...
Sustainable Collagen Composites with Graphene Oxide for Bending Resistive Sensing
(MDPI, 2023-09-22)
This work reports on the development of collagen films with graphene oxide nanoparticles (GO NPs), aiming toward the development of a new generation of functional sustainable sensors. For this purpose, different GO NP ...
Biorefinery concept in the meat industry: From slaughterhouse biowastes to superaborbent materials
(Elsevier, 2023-09)
The expansion of food production has a large environmental impact in many ways. More specifically, 30–40% of
total food production is lost as wastes and/or by-products before it reaches the market. In this sense, blood ...
Sustainable antibacterial collagen composites with silver nanowires for resistive pressure sensor applications
(Elsevier, 2023-11)
Considering the circular economy and the increasing need of smart materials for the digitalization of society, it is essential that these materials are based on bio-resources. Thus, in order to replace synthetic by natural ...
