The residues resulting from orange and spinach processing, composed mainly by peels and seeds; and leaves, respectively, contain relevant amounts of polyphenols, so they can be used as raw material for recovery natural ...
The growing concern over environmental pollution in recent decades has placed increasing focus on research into the development of sustainable processes associated with the removal of contaminants in waters. Water is scarcer ...
The leather manufacturing process consists of a sequence of complex chemical reactions and mechanical processes that allow turning skin, a putrefiable by-product of alimentary industry, into leather, a stable high-value-added ...
The aluminum alloy AA2024-T3, u sed extensively in the aerospace industry, dueto the heterogeneous microstructures intentionally designed to optím ize the m echanical properties, is very susceptible to localízed corros ...
(English) The historical analysis performed has shown that jet fires have been the origin of a high number of domino effect accidents, both in the process industry and in the transportation of flammable fluids by pipelines ...
The most widely accepted option for the long-term management of radioactive waste materials considers their disposal in deep underground facilities (examples are Finland, Belgium, France, Sweden, etc.). Such installations ...
Chemical plants and other industrial installations process and store hazardous materials, which represent a certain risk to people, equipment and the environment. Overpressure is one of the most common upsets in process ...
Since the pioneering work of Reches and Gazit in 2003, in which the formation of diphenylalanine (FF) nanotubes in aqueous solution was discovered, significant efforts have been made to develop a new generation of biomaterials ...
A more sustainable and secure energy supply is required for the forthcoming generations; where the actual dependence on the fossil fuel reserves should be replaced by self-sufficiency and use of renewable energy resources. ...
Los objetivos que se persiguen la memoria presentada puede desglosarse en dos grandes bloques temáticos, los cuales están estrechamente relacionados.<br/><br/>1) El estudio conformacional y estructural de diferentes ...
(English) This thesis focuses on the study of the catalytic production of hydrogen from methanol and water. Catalytic production is carried out in a catalytic membrane reactor which manages to produce and purify hydrogen. ...
"Síntesis y caracterización de nuevas poliesteramidas: estudio de sus propiedades."<br/><br/>El estudio de los polímeros biodegradables ha adquirido un gran interés en los últimos años por ser una alternativa al reciclado ...
Con la finalidad de obtener nuevos materiales de altas prestaciones a partir de recursos naturales, la memoria de la tesis "Síntesis y caracterización de poliamidas derivadas del ácido tartárico", presentada por Jordi Bou ...
Dicho trabajo de investigación se basa en la preparación, caracterización y evaluación de propiedades de poliamidas derivadas de la L-lisina y de los ácidos L y D tartáricos, con posibilidades de utilización como polímeros ...
En esta tesis se sintetiza y caracteriza un nuevo polímero basado en el biimidazol, el poli[4-4'(p-fenilen)-2,2'bi-1H-imidazol] (PBII), con el objetivo de evaluar su viabilidad como polímero conductor en membranas de pilas ...
Se han sintetizado nylons 1,n (n=5,6,7,8,10 y 12); nylons 2/n estadísticos con distintas proporciones de glicina (n=6, 11 y 12) y nylons m,n (m=6,12; n=6) con glicina incorporada secuencialmente y al azar. Los productos ...
La creciente demanda de materiales biodegradables para su utilización en el campo de la biomedicina ha incrementado el interés en la síntesis de nuevos polímeros. Los poliésteres alifáticos constituyen el grupo de polímeros ...
This thesis focuses on the preparation of nanomaterials made of proteins and polymers. Even though the technology has advanced in the last decades to design new devices at the atomic scale, researchers are still inspired ...
Dietary polyphenols represent a group of secondary metabolites which widely occur in fruits, vegetables, wine, tea, extra virgin olive oil, chocolate and other cocoa products. Previous studies have shown the interaction ...
AT-rich sequences confer unique properties to DNA, such as high polymorphism and flexibility. The abundance of AT-rich DNA in several pathogens' genomes and the ability of specific molecules to selectively target AT base ...
