The circular economy is a paradigm for the upcoming industrial era, in which plastic wastes must be focused on as new resources. Chemical valorisation permits deepening into waste-to-gate schemes by obtaining chemical platforms to reintroduced production market. In this context, potential of protic ionic liquid 2-hydroxyethyl ammonium acetate (2-HEAA) used homogeneous catalytic co-solvent glycolytic conversion post-consumer poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) was validated from different...
Encapsulated fat-soluble powders containing vitamin A (VA) and E (VE) were prepared as a feasible additive for extruded feed products. The effect of the encapsulating agents (Capsul-CAP®, sodium caseinate-SC) in combination with Tween 80 (TW) an emulsifier maltodextrin (MD) wall material on physicochemical properties emulsions was evaluated. First, nanoemulsions MD:CAP:TW:VA/VE MD:SC:TW:VA/VE characterized. Then, obtained by means spray-drying analyzed terms product yield, encapsulation...
Taking advantage of the high functionalization capacity poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), bead-free homogeneous nanofibrous mats were produced. The addition functional groups by means grafting strategies such as sulfonation and nanoparticles graphene oxide (GO) considered to bring new features PVA. Two series sulfonated nonsulfonated composite nanofibers, with different compositions GO, prepared electrospinning. use sulfosuccinic acid (SSA) allowed crosslinked functionalized controlled size...
The potential of sodium alginate (ALG) and gum arabic (GA) as wall polymers for L-ascorbic acid (AA) encapsulation a tool their preservation against the thermo-oxidative degradation was investigated. influence such used material on AA-content, size, efficiency, yield stability were evaluated. AA-microparticles obtained using spray-drying technique. An experimental Taguchi design employed to assess variables in process. microparticles morphology size distribution characterized by scanning...
The evaluation of the performance polyesters under in vitro physiologic conditions is essential to design scaffolds with an adequate lifespan for a given application. In this line, degradation-durability patterns poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA), polydioxanone (PDO), polycaprolactone (PCL) and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) were monitored compared giving, as result, basis specific from short-term long-term applications. For purpose, they immersed ultra-pure water phosphate buffer solution (PBS)...
Abstract Antimicrobial films of poly (lactic acid) (PLA)/D‐limonene/zinc oxide (ZnO)‐based bio‐nanocomposites were prepared via melt compounding and subsequent thermocompression. D‐limonene was incorporated at concentrations 10 or 20 wt%, ZnO pure nanoparticles those organically modified with oleic acid (O‐ZnO), an average diameter 13.5 nm, included 3, 5, 8 wt%. The plasticizing effect D‐Limonene corroborated by a decrease in the glass transition temperature compared to PLA. presence O‐ZnO...
Abstract In this study, bionanocomposite films based on poly(lactide) (PLA) plasticised with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) (7.5 wt%) and reinforced various contents of nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) (1, 3, 5 were prepared. The hydrothermal degradation was investigated through immersion in several aqueous environments at temperatures 8, 23, 58, 70 °C as a function time (7, 15, 30, 60, 90 days). effect water the physicochemical properties materials assessed by monitoring changes morphology,...
The hydrolytic chemical recycling of polylactide (PLA) aided by the protic ionic liquid 2-hydroxyethyl ammonium acetate (2-HEAA) as a homogeneous catalytic co-solvent was evaluated. In terms maximization, temperature emerged most significant factor, being milder compared to that applied with other catalysts, resulting in potential energy savings. From cost-efficiency perspective, employing high solvent proportion deemed unnecessary, thereby reducing reagent consumption. A higher leads...
