[EN] The aim of this study is to establish the thermal performance of a biocomposite (Arbofill kokos (R)), stabilized with different natural phenolic additives, to check the antioxidant capacity of the resulting compounds. ...

[EN] Compounds derived from essential oils have been used in active packaging, but their volatility and degradability negatively affect stability and leads to high release rates. The present study aimed to develop PLA ...

[EN] Induced damage during biocomposites drilling is significantly different to that produced on composites based on synthetic reinforcement such as carbon or glass fibers. In composites reinforced with carbon or glass ...

[EN] Cellulosic material from coffee husk has not been previously studied despite being a potential source of reinforcing agents for different applications. This material has been extracted and characterised from coffee ...

[EN] The aim of this work was to design new polymer-based systems exhibiting an adjustable loading capacity of carvacrol depending on the film formulation. For this purpose, biocomposite films were developed employing ...

[EN] The eco-design considers the factors to prepare biocomposites under an end-of-life scenario. PLA/sisal biocomposites were obtained from amorphous polylactide and sisal loadings of 10, 20 and 30 wt% with and without ...
