Desarrollo de nuevas estructuras laminares de nanocelulosa con propiedades avanzadas para el packaging
(English) Changes in the use of raw materials and major lifestyle changes in first world societies have driven the massive use of petroleum-based materials in a wide range of applications. Plastic waste has become pervasive ...
Development of high performance cement-based composites reinforced with nonwoven fabrics from sustainable raw materials and textile wastes
(English) Currently there is a growing concern about the sustainability of the construction sector due to its great contribution to climate change. Approximately one third of carbon dioxide emissions are produced by this ...
Structural barrier effect on cotton fabrics
(English) Cotton, being a natural hollow fiber with remarkable economic values including moisture absorption, air permeability, softness, comfort, and warmth retention, has become one of the most essential raw materials ...
Obtaining and ennobling of cottonised hemp fibres for textile substrates
(English) The main objective of this work has been to obtain fibres and subsequently yarns and fabrics that are suitable for textile applications, through the cottonisation of an agricultural by-product of hemp (Cannabis ...
Ionic liquid-assisted the preparation of transparent cellulosic biocomposite films
(English) Interest in new environmentally friendly cellulose-based products has tremendously increased in recent years. Cellulose-based composites come in various forms and have potential applications in construction, ...
Development of dynamic textiles based on shape memory polyurethane (SMPU) for applications in car seat upholstery
(English) In recent years, numerous studies have been carried out on functional textiles due to their ability to adapt and interact with the environment. In particular, special focus has been placed on dynamic textiles ...
Analysis of the influence of false twist integrated into a high speed drafting system of an air jet spinning machine
(English) Air jet spinning is an emerging technology, already well established in the textile market. The commercial success increased over the last decades and intensified the research and innovation approach in the field ...
Aportaciones al desarrollo preclínico de un medicamento oncológico infantil con excipiente o soporte textil
The world of technical textiles is present every day in more sectors. In the work presented, a new facet of textile materials has been shown, textiles as a drug excipient and functional matrix. It is known that electro-spinning ...
Improvement of polyester dyeing at low temperature
In this thesis the polyester dyeing at low temperatures has been assessed with two different methods: exhaustion method and thermosol method. Exhaustion dyeing process was performed with high and low molecular-weight ...
Avaluació d'alternatives industrials per a l'obtenció de nous materials que valoritzen residus queratínics
The worldwide poultry industry generates a large amount of wastes which, accordingly to the current law, are mostly discarded. These wastes include chicken feathers, keratin structures which 109.056.179 ton were generated ...
Estudio de la influencia de los diferentes parámetros involucrados en la microencapsulación mediante coacervación compleja
In 1931, the first research work related to microencapsulation was published, in which a microcapsule formation technology using gelatine as a wall material was described by a process called "coacervation". The interest ...
Desarrollo de microcápsulas rígidas de fragancia y de técnicas que permitan la cuantificación de la eficiencia de encapsulación
From a long time, finishes have been developed with fragances; despite this fact, whatever the technology used to obtain the fragrance formulation, the final effect on the odor is very low. The smell usually disappears ...
Millora de la protecció UV de substrats tèxtils mitjançant l'aplicació, en l'extrusió, de nano i micropartícules
In this thesis, we study the improvement of the UV protection of polyester textiles by introducing nano or microparticles of TiO2 in the polyester during the extrusion of the yarn. Initially, the influence of different ...
Development of new lightweight green composites reinforced with nonwoven structures of flax fibres
Composite materials offer good mechanical performance with lower weight than classical materials, what has encouraged their use in many industry applications. Moreover, the rising awareness about environmental problems has ...
Preparación de soportes biomateriales con estructuras fibrilares obtenidas mediante electro-hilatura
The fabrication of scaffolds materials with the ability to mimic the structural and functional properties of extracellular matrix is one of the most important points of interest into the tissue engineering field. Among the ...
Enzymatic-assisted preparation of nanocrystalline cellulose from non-wood fibers
In the current scenario of growing environmental concerns, the search for innovative, renewable, non-polluting materials has never been as intensive as it is today. Cellulose, being the most abundant polymer on earth, ...
Enzymatic and chemical treatments to obtain pulps with high-cellulose content
La celulosa es el polímero más abundante en la Tierra y en los últimos años ha ganado un amplio interés como fuente de nuevos productos con requisitos de procesamiento y de calidad diferentes a los procesos convencionales ...
Surface functionalization of cellulosic substrates by using chemical and biotechnological methods
This thesis deals with the surface modification of cellulosic substrates by use of chemo-enzymatic methods. Functionalizing cellulose is intended to adjust its properties for various purposes, but particularly for obtaining ...
Tratamiento y reutilización de efluentes de la industria textil mediante técnicas de membranas
Textile industry consumes large amount of water in their processes, mainly in dyeing and finishing operations. In general, during the dyeing process, up to 30% of dyes used can be discharged into wastewater. For this reason, ...
Eliminación del color de las aguas residuales procedentes de la tintura con colorantes reactivos
This thesis is based on the study of colour elimination of textile effluents which contain reactive dyes. Reactive dyes are widely used in the dyeing of cotton and other cellulosic fibre. However they exhibit a low degree ...
