Biomass Pyrolysis Solids as Reducing Agents: Comparison with Commercial Reducing Agents
(MDPI, 2016-01)
Biomass is one of the most suitable options to be used as renewable energy source due to its extensive availability and its contribution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass under ...
Cellulose Nanocrystal Membranes as Excipients for Drug Delivery Systems
(MDPI, 2016-12-12)
In this work, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were obtained from flax fibers by an acid hydrolysis assisted by sonochemistry in order to reduce reaction times. The cavitation inducted during hydrolysis resulted in CNC with ...
Conversion of lignin to value added chemicals
(2016-12-20)
En un basado en recursos fósiles, la biomasa y especialmente la lignina representa una de las fuentes para la producción productos químicos de alto valor añadido. Durante el desarrollo de esta tesis se han desarrollado los ...
Functionalization of Cellulose Nanocrystals in Choline Lactate Ionic Liquid
(MDPI, 2016-06)
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are valuable nanomaterials obtained from renewable resources. Their properties make them suitable for a wide range of applications, including polymer reinforcement. However, due to their highly ...

Development of advanced catalytic systems for the selective hydrogenolysis of biomass-derived polyols
(2016-05-16)
La progresiva transición desde una economía basada en el petróleo hacia una bioeconomíaes completamente necesaria para conseguir una sociedad más sostenible, lo cual implica una reducción de la dependencia del petróleo y ...
Assessment of Biomass Energy Potential and Forest Carbon Stocks in Biscay (Spain)
(MDPI, 2016-03)
The aim of this research is to identify, quantify and characterize the potential available forest biomass of Pinus radiata D. Don and Eucalyptus globulus Labill. across Biscay province in northern Spain. In order to do ...
Water Uptake Behavior and Young Modulus Prediction of Composites Based on Treated Sisal Fibers and Poly(Lactic Acid)
(MDPI, 2016-05)
The main aim of this work was to study the effect of sisal fiber surface treatments on water uptake behavior of composites based on untreated and treated fibers. For this purpose, sisal fibers were treated with different ...
An Alternative Approach for the Incorporation of Cellulose Nanocrystals in Flexible Polyurethane Foams Based On Renewably Sourced Polyols
(Elsevier, 2016-11-16)
Este trabajo analiza tanto el efecto de los nanocristales de celulosa en las propiedades finales de espumas flexibles de poliuretano basadas en castor oil y maíz, sino que además se realiza un análisis en profundidad sobre ...
