Electrochemical Activity of Lignin Based Composite Membranes
(MDPI, 2021-02-21)
Our society’s most pressing challenges, like high CO2 emission and the constant battle against energy poverty, require a clean and easier solution to store and utilize the renewable energy resources. However, recent ...
Lignin-Based Polyols with Controlled Microstructure by Cationic Ring Opening Polymerization
(MDPI, 2021-02-22)
Lignin-based polyols (LBPs) with controlled microstructure were obtained by cationic ring opening polymerization (CROP) of oxiranes in an organosolv lignin (OL) tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution. The control on the microstructure ...
Effect of gelatin concentration, ribose and glycerol additions on the electrospinning process and physicochemical properties of gelatin nanofibers
(Elsevier, 2022-11)
Rheological properties of gelatin-based solutions containing different concentrations of ribose and/or glycerol were assessed before electrospun mats were manufactured and their properties investigated. Characterization ...
Value-Added Bio-Chemicals Commodities from Catalytic Conversion of Biomass Derived Furan-Compounds
(MDPI, 2020-08-07)
The depletion of fossil resources in the near future and the need to decrease greenhouse gas emissions lead to the investigation of using alternative renewable resources as raw materials. One of the most promising options ...
Advanced heterogeneous catalytic systems for biofuels production derived from HMF
(2021-02-22)
La presente tesis doctoral tiene como objetivo la obtención de biocombustibles a partir del 5-hidroximetilfurfural (HMF). Este compuesto es una molécula plataforma que se obtiene de la biomasa lignocelulósica. El HMF puede ...
Physicochemical and Biological Performance of Aloe Vera-Incorporated Native Collagen Films
(MDPI, 2020-12-02)
Collagen was obtained from porcine skin by mechanical pretreatments with the aim of preserving the triple helix structure of native collagen, which was indirectly corroborated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and ...
A Green Approach towards Native Collagen Scaffolds: Environmental and Physicochemical Assessment
(MDPI, 2020-07-18)
Native collagen scaffolds were prepared in this work, in which both materials and environmental approaches were considered with the aim of providing a global strategy towards more sustainable biomaterials. From the ...
Electroconductive Photo-Curable PEGDA-Gelatin/PEDOT:PSS Hydrogels for Prospective Cardiac Tissue Engineering Application
(Frontiers Media, 2022-06)
Electroconductive hydrogels (ECHs) have attracted interest for tissue engineering applications due to their ability to promote the regeneration of electroactive tissues. Hence, ECHs with tunable electrical and mechanical ...
Non-destructive determination of core-transition-outer wood of Pinus nigra combining FTIR spectroscopy and prediction models
(Elsevier, 2022-08)
The early detection of wood quality by using advanced analytical non-destructive methods is an ongoing area of research and is highly interesting for the forest-based sector. The presence of core wood has negative effects ...
Antioxidant, Antifungal and Phytochemical Investigations of Capparis spinosa L.
(MDPI, 2021-10-19)
The antioxidant and antifungal activities of crude hydro-ethanolic extract from Capparis spinosa L. (Capparidaceae) leaves and their fractions, obtained by liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) using solvents with increasing ...
