Hydrophobization and Photo-Stabilization of Radiata Pinewood: The Effect of the Esterification on Thermal and Mechanical Properties
(MDPI, 2020-10-24)
Wood protection through chemical modification has received increasing interest over the last decades due to the environmental issues related to conventional biocides or protecting products. Consequently, a wide range of ...
Particle emission measurements in three scenarios of mechanical degradation of polypropylene-nanoclay nanocomposites
(Elsevier, 2020-12)
Researchers and legislators have both claimed the necessity to standardize the exposure assessment of polymer nanocomposites throughout their life cycle. In the present study we have developed and compared three different ...
Recovery of Bioactive Compounds from Hazelnuts and Walnuts Shells: Quantitative–Qualitative Analysis and Chromatographic Purification
(MDPI, 2020-09-24)
Hazelnut (HS) and walnut (WS) shells, an abundant by-product of the processing industries of these edible nuts, are traditionally considered as a low-value waste. However, they are a source of valuable compounds with an ...
Thermochemical and Mechanical Properties of Pine Wood Treated by In Situ Polymerization of Methyl Methacrylate (MMA)
(MDPI, 2020-07-17)
The impregnation of low-molecular-weight monomers prior to polymerize them inside the wood may be an efficient way to improve some important wood properties. This work aimed to determine some technological properties of ...
Chitosan Films Incorporated with Exopolysaccharides from Deep Seawater Alteromonas sp.
(MDPI, 2020-08-27)
Two Alteromonas sp. strains isolated from deep seawater were grown to promote the production of exopolysaccharides (EPS, E611 and E805), which were incorporated into chitosan solutions to develop films. The combination of ...
Analysis of summer O3 in the Madrid air basin with the LOTOS-EUROS chemical transport model
(Copernicus, 2019-11)
Tropospheric O-3 remains a major air-quality issue in the Mediterranean region. The combination of large anthropogenic emissions of precursors, transboundary contributions, a warm and dry aestival climate, and topographical ...
Links Between Data On Chemical And Biological Quality Parameters In Wastewater-Impacted River Sediment And Water Samples
(Elsevier, 2018-08-15)
In many urban catchments, the discharge of effluents from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), as well as untreated wastewaters (UWWs), presents a major challenge for the maintenance of river sediment and water quality. ...
A First Evaluation of the Usefulness of Kudzu Starch in Cultural Heritage Restoration
(Nature, 2020-09-24)
In recent times, the use of natural and harmless products for the environment and restorer is taking place in the field of Cultural Heritage restoration. In this sense, wheat, rice and corn starches as adhesives, have ...
Downscaling of surface moisture flux and precipitation in the Ebro Valley (Spain) using analogues and analogues followed by random forests and multiple linear regression
(Copernicus Gesellschaft, 2011)
In this paper, reanalysis fields from the ECMWF have been statistically downscaled to predict from large-scale atmospheric fields, surface moisture flux and daily precipitation at two observatories (Zaragoza and Tortosa, ...
Creating a Green Chemistry Lab: Towards Sustainable Resource Management and Responsible Purchasing
(MDPI, 2020-10-27)
The main goal of this project was to improve the efficiency and sustainability of the chemistry teaching laboratories of the Faculty of Engineering Vitoria-Gasteiz (University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU)). With this ...
