El presente trabajo tiene por objetivo estudiar las aplicaciones de los nanocristales o ¿nanowhiskers¿ extraídos mediante hidrólisis ácida de celulosa bacteriana (BCNW) para el desarrollo de materiales poliméricos y ...
Poly(lactic acid) PLA, and poly(hydroxybutyrate) PHB, blends were processed as films and characterized for their use in food packaging. PLA was blended with PHB to enhance the crystallinity. Therefore, PHB addition strongly ...
[EN] In this work a study of the mechanical properties of a biodegradable polymer, poly(lactic acid) (PLA),
and its variation due to the addition of 25 wt % of another biodegradable polymer, poly(hydroxybutyrate)
(PHB) ...

[ES] Esta tesis doctoral tuvo como objetivo principal el estudio, desarrollo y caracterización de nuevos materiales poliméricos mediante el uso de diferentes matrices poliméricas de origen natural y biodegradables, así ...
Thermal degradation of PLA is a complex process since it comprises many simultaneous reactions. The use of analytical techniques, such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TGA), yields useful ...
The disintegration under composting conditions of films based on poly(lactic acid) poly(hydroxybutyrate) (PLA-PHB) blends and intended for food packaging was studied. Two different plasticizers, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) ...
[EN] A method to modify polymers is that of introducing fibers in a matrix to produce a fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP). Consequently, the aim of this work was to study the compatibility effect of four coupling agents on ...
[EN] Environmentally friendly composites from poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and diatomaceous earth (DE) were successfully manufactured by extrusion, followed by injection moulding. DE was used as a filler; several compatibiliz ...
[EN] This work reports on the development of environmentally friendly PLA formulations utilizing different esters derived from geraniol as plasticizers. Geranyl formate, acetate, propionate, butyrate, isovalerate and ...

[EN] Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) present complementary barrier properties, and their combination in multilayer assemblies (laminates) could provide materials with more effective barrier capacity ...
[EN] In the last decade, among the emerging technologies in the area of bioplastics, additive manufacturing (AM), commonly referred to as 3D printing, stands out. This technology has gained great interest in the development ...
[EN] Neat and plasticized poly(lactic acid) (PLA) films were obtained by compression moulding. Three different plasticizers, at concentrations of 5 and 10%, were used: poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) of 1000 and 4000gmol(-1) ...
[EN] This work reports the potential of poly(lactic acid)-PLA composites with different halloysite nanotube (HNTs) loading (3, 6 and 9 wt%) for further uses in advanced applications as HNTs could be used as carriers for ...
[EN] Hydroxyapatite (HA), a naturally occurring calcium orthophosphate, possesses the most
similar chemical composition to human bone. In this research work, composite materials
were prepared using poly(lactic acid) (PLA) ...
