Influence of Process Parameters in Graphene Oxide Obtention on the Properties of Mechanically Strong Alginate Nanocomposites
(MDPI, 2020-02-28)
Sodium alginate, a biopolymer extracted from brown algae, has shown great potential for many applications, mainly due to its remarkable biocompatibility and biodegradability. To broaden its fields of applications and improve ...
Two different incorporation routes of cellulose nanocrystals in waterborne polyurethane nanocomposites
(Elsevier, 2016-03)
The renewability, availability and low-cost of eco-friendly cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), have gaining attention for nanocomposites preparation due to their unique properties in the nanoscale and their water dispersibility, ...
Shape-memory properties of crosslinked biobased polyurethanes
(2016-03-25)
Biobased crosslinked polyurethanes were synthesized and characterized as shape-memory polymers. Both the macrodiol and the diisocyanate were derived from renewable sources; the first one from castor oil, and the second one ...
Synthesis and characterization of polyurethanes with high renewable carbon content and tailored properties.
(2016-08-31)
Thermoplastic and cross-linked biobased polyurethanes with a renewable carbon content ranging from 78 to 98% were synthesized and characterized. The macrodiol and the diisocyanate used were derived from renewable source, ...
