Mechanochemical Preparation of Novel Polysaccharide-Supported Nb2O5 Catalysts
(MDPI, 2019)
Polysaccharides extracted from natural sources can be used as starting material for the preparation of nanoparticle supported composites. A novel family of bio-nanocomposites was mechanochemically synthesized by using ...
Nanocellulose-Based Inks—Effect of Alginate Content on the Water Absorption of 3D Printed Constructs
(MDPI, 2019)
2,2,6,6-tetramethylpyperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) oxidized cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) were used as ink for three-dimensional (3D) printing of porous structures with potential as wound dressings. Alginate (10, 20, 30 and 40 ...
Cellulose Nanofibers and Other Biopolymers for Biomedical Applications. A Review
(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 ...
Optimum Particle Size of Treated Calcites for CO2 Capture in a Power Plant
(MDPI, 2019)
This work has analyzed the influence of the particle size of a calcite from a quarry, whether original, calcined, or rehydrated, on the efficiency of CO2 capture of the gases emitted in a coal-fired power plant. Three ...
Improvement of the Concrete Permeability by Using Hydrophilic Blended Additive
(MDPI, 2019)
Crystalline hydrophilic additives are increasingly used as efficient methods for reducing water permeability in concrete. Their effectiveness in hindering water penetration has been proven in different cementitious materials, ...
On the Beneficial Effect of MgCl2 as Electrolyte Additive to Improve the Electrochemical Performance of Li4Ti5O12 as Cathode in Mg Batteries
(MDPI, 2019)
Magnesium batteries are a promising technology for a new generation of energy storage for portable devices. Attention should be paid to electrolyte and electrode material development in order to develop rechargeable Mg ...
Lignin: A Biopolymer from Forestry Biomass for Biocomposites and 3D Printing
(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. ...
Use of Steel Industry Wastes for the Preparation of Self-Cleaning Mortars
(MDPI, 2019)
An important problem, which must be solved, is the accumulation of industrial waste in landfills. Science has an obligation to transform this waste into new products and, if possible, with high added value. In this sense, ...
Bacteria, archae, fungi and viruses: it takes a community to eliminate waste
(Wiley and Society for Applied Microbiology, 2019)
Simple and Eco-Friendly Fabrication of Electrode Materials and Their Performance in High-Voltage Lithium-Ion Batteries
(Wiley, 2019)
The huge consumption of rechargeable Li-ion batteries (LIBs) make it necessary to recover and reuse the different components of spent batteries, thus favoring sustainable development. Graphite is a critical material in the ...
