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 ...
Biomaterials based on block segmented copolymers constituted by hard and soft segments have attracted much attention for biomedical applications in the last decades, specifically as absorbable monofilament sutures. ...
Rare Earth Elements (REEs) are known as the remarkable components in many technologies that are driving the modern world. They are widely used in chemical engineering, permanent magnets, fluorescent lighting, sensors, cell ...
In the last decades, polymeric biomaterials, due to their advanced physical and mechanical properties, have been used in a vast variety of surgical and pharmaceutical applications. In this thesis, a study on crystallinity, ...
This thesis focused on the feasibility of substituting, partially or totally, drinking water treatment plant (DWTP) conventional pre-treatment by membrane based units, in particular by ultrafiltration (UF). For such purpose, ...
The spread of bacteria and infections, initially associated with an increased number of hospital-acquired infections, has now extended into the community causing severe and difficult to treat diseases. Additionally, many ...
In this century, the major use of synthetic polymers have been as replacements for more traditional materials, particulary in packaging. Today the packaging industry is by far the major user of plastics. Another interesting ...
The current research is primarily focused on the preparation of a polycarbonate using epoxidized linseed oil (ELO) and epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) as feedstocks. The presence of unsaturation in vegetable oil structure ...
Synthetic biopolymers have attracted considerable attention in the last decades in the biomedical field. Poly(ester amide)s are a family of biodegradable polymers that can be tailored for specific applications due to the ...
In the rapidly changing scientific world, contributions of scientists and engineers are leading to major new solutions of significant medical problems. Biology and medicine are beginning to reduce the problems of disease ...
