Avocado Pruning Residues for the Formulation of Bio-Based Polyethylene/Fiber-Based Biocomposites for Sustainable Food Packaging
Morcillo-Martín, Ramón; Tarrés, Quim; Aguado, Roberto J.; Espinosa, E.; Delgado-Aguilar, Marc; Rodríguez, Alejandro (Wiley, 2024)The extensive use of non-biodegradable bioplastics and fossil-based plastics in food packaging presents a significant environmental challenge. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in exploring agricultural biomass ... -
Cellulose Nanofibers and Other Biopolymers for Biomedical Applications. A Review
Moohan, John; Stewart, Sarah A.; Espinosa, E.; Rosal, Antonio; Rodríguez, Alejandro; Larrañeta, Eneko; Donnelly, Ryan F.; Domínguez-Robles, J. (MDPI, 2019)Biopolymers are materials synthesised or derived from natural sources, such as plants, animals, microorganisms or any other living organism. The use of these polymers has grown significantly in recent years as industry ... -
Horticultural Plant Residues as New Source for Lignocellulose Nanofibers Isolation: Application on the Recycling Paperboard Process
Bascón-Villegas, Isabel; Espinosa, E.; Sánchez, Rafael; Tarrés, Quim; Pérez-Rodríguez, Fernando; Rodríguez, Alejandro (MDPI, 2020)Horticultural plant residues (tomato, pepper, and eggplant) were identified as new sources for lignocellulose nanofibers (LCNF). Cellulosic pulp was obtained from the different plant residues using an environmentally ... -
Lignin: A Biopolymer from Forestry Biomass for Biocomposites and 3D Printing
Tanase-Opedal, Mihaela; Espinosa, E.; Rodríguez, Alejandro; Chinga-Carrasco, Gary (MDPI, 2019)Biopolymers from forestry biomass are promising for the sustainable development of new biobased materials. As such, lignin and fiber-based biocomposites are plausible renewable alternatives to petrochemical-based products. ... -
Lignocellulose Nanofibre Obtained from Agricultural Wastes of Tomato, Pepper and Eggplants Improves the Performance of Films of Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) for Food Packaging
Bascón-Villegas, Isabel; Sánchez-Gutiérrez, Mónica; Pérez-Rodríguez, Fernando; Espinosa, E.; Rodríguez, Alejandro (MDPI, 2021)Films formulated with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) (synthetic biopolymer) were reinforced with lignocellulose nanofibres (LCNF) from residues of vegetable production (natural biopolymer). The LCNF were obtained by mechanical ... -
Orange tree prunings as raw material for cellulose production by the kraft process
González, Zoilo; Vargas, Fátima; Jiménez, Luis; Rodríguez, Alejandro (Academiei Romane, 2013)The aim of this work was to study the influence of operational variables in the orange tree pruning kraft pulping, such as temperature (155-185 ºC), processing time (40-90 min) and active alkali concentration (10-16%) at ... -
Production of Cellulose Nanofibers from Olive Tree Harvest—a Residue with Wide Applications
Sánchez-Gutiérrez, Mónica; Espinosa, E.; Bascón-Villegas, Isabel; Pérez-Rodríguez, Fernando; Carrasco, Elena; Rodríguez, Alejandro (MDPI, 2020)With the aim of identifying new sources to produce cellulose nanofibers, olive tree pruning biomass (OTPB) was proposed for valorization as a sustainable source of cellulose. OTPB was subjected to a soda pulping process ... -
Reuse of ultrafiltration permeate as a preliminary step in the pulp and paper production
Serrano, Luis; Ferrer, Ana; Labidi, Jalel; Rodríguez, Alejandro (Academiei Romane, 2014)Permeate is a part of the stream generated in the ultrafiltration process. This stream could be utilized due to its composition in low molecular compounds. In this work, different combinations have been used to study the ... -
Revalorization of Yerba Mate Residues: Biopolymers-Based Films of DualWettability as Potential Mulching Materials
Sanchez, Laura M.; Haro, Jorge de; Domínguez, Eva; Rodríguez, Alejandro; Heredia, Antonio; Benítez, José J. (MDPI, 2024)Biodegradable mulching films are a very attractive solution to agronomical practices intended to achieve more successful crop results. And, in this context, the employment of agricultural and industrial food residues as ... -
Special issue “Lignocellulosic Biomass II”
Rodríguez, Alejandro; Espinosa, E.; Martín, Carlos (MDPI, 2023)As a result of human population growth, the availability of residual lignocellulosic materials from agriculture, forestry, food- and wood-processing industries, and other waste streams is continuously increasing. The ... -
