Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya
La Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. Barcelona Tech (UPC) és una institució pública de recerca i d'educació superior en els àmbits de l'enginyeria, l'arquitectura i les ciències.
L’activitat dels seus campus i centres fan de la UPC un punt de referència i, en complicitat amb el teixit productiu, són agent i motor de canvi econòmic i social, en posar en valor la recerca bàsica i aplicada i transferir tecnologia i coneixement a la societat.
Els investigadors i investigadores de la UPC treballen des dels laboratoris i centres de recerca per augmentar la producció científica, valoritzar-la socialment a través de la transferència de resultats i continuar liderant projectes internacionals d’excel·lència, ja sigui a partir d’iniciatives pròpies o en col·laboració amb altres centres de recerca i universitats d’arreu del món.

(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 ...
(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 ...
(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 ...
(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, ...
(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 ...
(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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
