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 ...
Non-coding DNA is rich in adenines and thymines. Their unique properties, such as high polymorphism, flexibility, transitional states that lead to DNA hairpin formation and the possibility to adopt either Watson-Crick or ...
Nowadays biopolymers are a good alternative to petrochemical polymers. One of these biopolymers is Poly[(R)-3- Hydroxybutyrate] (PHB) which is produced from renewable resources by various microorganisms and, after its use ...
Cotxes, camions, tractors, avions... tots necessiten els neumàtics com a component imprescindible per al seu funcionament. Malauradament, degut al desgast per ús, els neumàtics tenen una vida útil limitada que obliga a ...
In this thesis, different theoretical approaches designed to study a wide interval of length- and/or time-scales have been used to examine the microscopic properties of chemical systems with varying degrees of complexity ...
Entre els accidents greus que poden ocórrer a les instal·lacions industrials o durant el transport de substàncies perilloses, els dolls de foc presenten un especial interès. Tot i que tenen una distància relativament més ...
Polymer clay nanocomposites of polyamides and biodegradable polymers with three kinds of organomodified clays were prepared by different techniques (in situ polymerization, solution casting, and melt mixing). The polymers ...
