[EN] A comparative study of the relaxational behavior of amorphous and partially crystalline poly(ethylene-2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylate) (PEN), has been carried out by thermally stimulated depolarization currents (TSDC), ...
Water absorption in chitosan rapidly increases when the deacetylation degree decreases between 85
and 45%. This seems to contradict the fact that water absorption in chitin is much lower than that of
chitosan. The aim ...

[EN] Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-valerate) (PHBV), being one of the most studied and commercially available polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), presents an intrinsic brittleness and narrow processing window that currently hinders ...
[EN] Mainly due to environmental aims, petroleum-based plastics are being replaced by natural polymers. In the last decades, starch has been evaluated in its film-forming ability for applications in the food packaging area. ...

[ES] El gran aumento en la producción y consumo de plásticos ha generado un grave problema medioambiental por su incapacidad de biodegradación. Por ello se han puesto en marcha diferentes estrategias como el reciclaje y ...
[EN] Cinnamic and ferulic acid were incorporated into highly hydrolysed and partially acetylated poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) for the purpose of obtaining active films. The microstructure, crystallinity, tensile and barrier ...
[EN] The dielectric properties of virgin polylactide (PLA) and its reinforced composites with different weight amounts of sisal fibres were assessed at broad temperature (from - 130 degrees C to 130 degrees C) and frequency ...
[EN] Aligned mats of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) nanofibers containing nanosized hydroxyapatite filler have been obtained via electrospinning onto a rotating mandrel. Their structure and morphology have been characterized as ...
Delgado Fernández, Andrea(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2022-04-08)
[ES] Aunque tradicionalmente los tratamientos térmicos han sido vinculados a materiales metálicos, estos pueden ser aplicados a cierto grupo de polímeros. Dentro de los polímeros se encuentra un grupo denominado termoplásticos, ...
[EN] The influence of an accelerated hygrothermal ageing simulation test on a commercial PLA and its three
subsequent mechanically-reprocessed materials was studied. The analysis was focused on the water
diffusion kinetics ...
Chitosan fiber mats were successfully processed by electrospinning. The as-spun fiber mats were neutralized with ethanol and cross-linked with glutaraldehyde. A decrease of the fiber average diameter from 243 +/- 43 nm ...
