Preparation and Characterization of Bionanocomposite Films Based on Wheat Starch and Reinforced With Cellulose Nanocrystals

Montero, Belén; Rico, Maite; Barral, Luis; Bouza, Rebeca; López, Joaquín; Schmidt, Anja; Bittmann-Hennes, Birgit (Springer Nature, 2021)

[Abstract] In recent times, the attention of scientific community has been focusing on the replacement of petroleum-based polymers by others more environmentally friendly. In this sense, bionanocomposites based on ...

Influence of the Hydrophilicity of Montmorillonite on Structure and Properties of Thermoplastic Wheat Starch/Montmorillonite Bionanocomposites

Derungs, Irene; Rico, Maite; López, Joaquín; Barral, Luis; Montero, Belén; Bouza, Rebeca (John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2021-11)

[Abstract] The increasing environmental pollution with petroleum-based plastics has advanced research on biodegradable polymers. Thermoplastic starch (TPS) is one promising candidate due to wide availability from various ...

Isosorbide Plasticized Corn Starch Filled With Poly(3-Hydroxybutyrate-co-3-Hydroxyvalerate) Microparticles: Properties and Behavior Under Environmental Factors

Area, Miguel R.; Montero, Belén; Rico, Maite; Barral, Luis; Bouza, Rebeca; López, Joaquín (Elsevier, 2022-03)

[Abstract] In this work, new green and fully biodegradable composites, based on corn starch, plasticized with two different amounts of isosorbide and filled by poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) microparticles, ...

Dense Matrix Multiplication Algorithms and Performance Evaluation of HPCC in 81 Nodes IBM Power 8 Architecture

Estévez Ruiz, Eduardo Patricio; Caluña, Giovanny; Jiménez Patiño, Fabian Rodolfo; López, Joaquín; Thirumuruganandham, Saravana Prakash (MDPI, 2021-08)

[Abstract] Optimizing HPC systems based on performance factors and bottlenecks is essential for designing an HPC infrastructure with the best characteristics and at a reasonable cost. Such insight can only be achieved ...
