    • A Logistic Approach for Kinetics of Isothermal Pyrolysis of Cellulose 

      López-Beceiro, Jorge; Díaz-Díaz, Ana-María; Álvarez García, Ana; Tarrío-Saavedra, Javier; Naya, Salvador; Artiaga, Ramón (MDPI, 2021-03)
      [Abstract] A kinetic model is proposed to fit isothermal thermogravimetric data obtained from cellulose in an inert atmosphere at different temperatures. The method used here to evaluate the model involves two steps: (1) ...
    • A relatively simple look at the rather complex crystallization kinetics of PLLA 

      López-Beceiro, Jorge; Díaz-Díaz, Ana-María; Fernández-Pérez, Enrique; Ferreira, Ignatius; Focke, Walter W.; Artiaga, Ramón (MDPI, 2023-04-14)
      [Abstract] This work demonstrates that, despite the existence of a significant number of works on PLA crystallization, there is still a relatively simple way, different from those already described, in which its complex ...
    • Comparison by thermal analysis of Joule‑cured versus oven‑cured composites 

      Vázquez, Laura; López-Beceiro, Jorge; Díaz-Díaz, Ana-María; Álvarez García, Ana; Pereira Rodríguez, Mercedes; Artiaga, Ramón (Springer, 2024-03-20)
      [Abstract]: The current technology for curing high-performance composites, such as those used in industries like such as aeronautics and the automotive industry, is based on the use of autoclaves, where the material is ...
    • Crystallization kinetics of a commercial poly(lactic acid) based on characteristic crystallization time and optimal crystallization temperature 

      Díaz-Díaz, Ana-María; López-Beceiro, Jorge; Yanchun, Li; Cheng, Yi; Artiaga, Ramón (Springer, 2020-07-23)
      [Abstract]: A model is proposed to fit differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) isothermal crystallization curves obtained from the molten state at different temperatures. A commercial 3D printing polylactic acid (PLA) ...
    • Dynamic rheological comparison of silicones for podiatry applications 

      Díaz-Díaz, Ana-María; Sánchez Silva, Bárbara; Tarrío-Saavedra, Javier; López-Beceiro, Jorge; Janeiro Arocas, Julia M.; Gracia-Fernández, Carlos; Artiaga, Ramón (Elsevier, 2018-05-26)
      [Abstract]: This work shows an effective methodology to evaluate the dynamic viscoelastic behavior of silicones for application in podiatry. The aim is to characterize, compare their viscoelastic properties according to ...
    • Fillers and methods to improve the effective (out-plane) thermal conductivity of polymeric thermal interface materials – A review 

      Mumtaz, Nighat; Li, Yanchun; Artiaga, Ramón; Farooq, Zunaira; Mumtaz, Amina; Guo, Qian; Nisa, Fakhr Un (Elsevier, 2024-02-15)
      [Abstract]: The internet of things and growing demand for smaller and more advanced devices has created the problem of high heat production in electronic equipment, which greatly reduces the work performance and life of ...
    • Properties of Mosquito Repellent-Plasticized Poly(lactic acid) Strands 

      Mapossa, Antonio B.; López-Beceiro, Jorge; Díaz-Díaz, Ana-María; Artiaga, Ramón; Moyo, Dennis; Mphateng, Thabang N.; Focke, Walter W. (MDPI, 2021-09)
      [Abstract] Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is an attractive candidate for replacing petrochemical polymers because it is fully biodegradable. This study investigated the potential of PLA as a sustainable and environmentally friendly ...
    • Structure and thermal property relationships in the thermomaterial di-n-butylammonium tetrafluoroborate for multipurpose cooling and cold-storage 

      García Ben, Javier; Bermúdez-García, Juan Manuel; Delgado Ferreiro, Ignacio; López-Beceiro, Jorge; Artiaga, Ramón; Castro-García, Socorro; Sánchez-Andújar, Manuel; Señarís-Rodríguez, M. A. (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2023-11-07)
      [Abstract]: Nowadays around 46% of food production around the world requires refrigeration, which is generally provided either by active vapour-compression (based on refrigerants with liquid–gas transitions) or passive ...
    • Thermal and rheological comparison of adhesives 

      Sánchez Silva, Bárbara; Díaz-Díaz, Ana-María; Tarrío-Saavedra, Javier; López-Beceiro, Jorge; Gracia-Fernández, Carlos; Artiaga, Ramón (Springer, 2019-10-10)
      [Abstract]: In some industrial sectors such as naval construction, the use of adhesives is still limited to some specific applications. However, shipbuilders, academia and classification societies are cooperating to expand ...
