Biocomposites Based on Poly(Lactic Acid) Matrix and Reinforced with Lignocellulosic Fibers: The Effect of Fiber Type and Matrix Modification
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-02-14)
in composite materials, two or more different components are combined to produce a new material with different characteristics from the individual components. In recent years, due to environmental concerns, the development ...
Advanced and traditional processing of thermoplastic polyurethane waste
(Elsevier, 2022-04)
In this work different ways to valorise discarded ear tags made of TPU from livestock sector were studied. This singular residue does not require separation from other plastics like other industrial and urbane wastes, which ...
Furan-containing biobased polyurethane nanofibers: A new versatile and green support clickable via Diels-Alder reaction
(Elsevier, 2022-09)
A new biobased polyurethane formulation containing furan was synthesized and subsequently functionalized and de-functionalized via Diels-Alder and retro Diels-Alder reactions. Furan was inserted in the backbone polymer ...
Effect of the biobased polyols chemical structure on high performance thermoset polyurethane properties
(Elsevier, 2022-12)
The sustainability of the polymeric materials has become a fundamental challenge; therefore, the development of new biobased formulations has gained increasing interest. Thermoset polyurethanes (PURs) present high performance ...
Study of a renewable capping agent addition in lignin base catalysed depolymerisation process
(Elsevier, 2020-07-13)
The aim of this work was to study the influence of a renewable capping agent (CA) in the production of monomeric compounds from the depolymerization of an organosolv lignin (Pinus radiata) by a base catalyzed depolymerization ...
Valorization of White Grape Pomace: Integral Strategies for Advanced Applications
(2023-12-19)
Sustainable agricultural waste management is crucial to supply increasing food demands. Grape pomace from Txakoli wine production poses environmental issues, but the circular economy is emerging as a solution to minimize ...
Self-assembly and crystallization of double crystalline aliphatic thermoplastic biopolyurethane and its nucleation with cellulose nanocrystals
(Elsevier, 2022-01-13)
[EN] An aliphatic segmented thermoplastic biopolyurethane (STPU), based on aliphatic hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) and 1,3 propanediol (1,3PD) as urethane rich phase and a poly(sebacate) as a macrodiol phase, with ~50 ...
