Occupational exposure to nano-TiO2 in the life cycle steps of new depollutant mortars used in construction
(IOP Publishing, 2015)
The present work is focused on the measurement of workers exposure to nano-TiO2 in the life cycle steps of depollutant mortars. It has been done in the framework of the SCAFFOLD project, which aims at the management of ...
Analysis of multivariate stochastic signals sampled by on-line particle analyzers: Application to the quantitative assessment of occupational exposure to NOAA in multisource industrial scenarios (MSIS)
(IOP Publishing, 2015)
In multisource industrial scenarios (MSIS) coexist NOAA generating activities with other productive sources of airborne particles, such as parallel processes of manufacturing or electrical and diesel machinery. A distinctive ...
Functional Assessment of Particleboards Made of Apple and Plum Orchard Pruning
(Springer, 2020-06)
Three-layered composite materials consisting in wood-chips bonded by a resin (particleboard) were successfully produced from two by-products: plum and apple tree branches, waste biomass produced after orchard pruning; a ...
Crystallization and Morphology of Triple Crystalline Polyethylene-b-poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(ε-caprolactone) PE-b-PEO-b-PCL Triblock Terpolymers
(MDPI, 2021-09-16)
The morphology and crystallization behavior of two triblock terpolymers of polymethylene, equivalent to polyethylene (PE), poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO), and poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL) are studied: PE227.1-b-PEO4615.1-b-PCL3210.4 ...
Properties and applications of antioxidant bilayer films based on fish skin gelatin containing epigallocatechin gallate
(2020-04-28)
Bilayer film was successfully prepared by lamination fish gelatin film (GF)with emulsified film (EF) or poly(lactic) acid film (PLAF) via two-steps castingtechnique and thermo-compression technique. Lamination with EF or ...
