3D printing has evolved into an innovative and sustainable manufacturing technique with the integration of filaments crafted from recycled materials, such as sustainable polyurethanes and end-of-life tire powder. This eco-conscious…
Summary Chemical recycling of polymers is a key research way to achiveve more sustainable polymeric compounds. By means of chemical recycling is possible to make waste into new raw materials…
Summary Our daily life would be unimaginable without rubber, which has become essential in multiple objects like tires, balls, hoses, etc. All these applications came from the great characteristics and…
Hybrid materials have been studied because in these materials the properties of organic components, such as elasticity and biodegradability, could be combined with the properties of inorganic components, such as…
High biobased carbon content polyurethane dispersions (PUD) are a more sustainable alternative to conventional oil-derived waterborne dispersions in coatings. However, there are still many performance limitations from restricted availability of…
Metal-organic frameworks (MOF) are porous materials made up of organic binders and a metal cluster, currently attracting attention as heterogeneous catalysts in various reactions of interest. However, their application in…
February 11th marks the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. For this reason, the elastomers Group has decided to record our female scientists answering some questions related to…
PBS and PBSA were irradiated with gamma up to a 400 kGy dose. Gel content appeared at approximately 100 kGy dose with a higher gel content for PBSA. Charlesby-Pinner analysis indicated that…
Effect of electron beam (EB) irradiation is analyzed in low and high density polyethylenes (LDPE and HDPE, respectively) at different doses. Parameters as important as degree of crystallinity, melting or…
Student of the Master of High Specialization of Polymers and Rubber (MAEPYC). Performing the TFM on tire rubber recycling under the direction of Zenen Zepeda Rodríguez and Juan López Valentín.…
On the 11th and 17th of November, students from Colegio Sagrado Corazón Rosales and Colegio Salesianos El Pilar visited the laboratories of the Elastomers Group of the Consejo Superior de…
Dr. Ángel Marcos participated in Poly Cápsula called: » Manufactura Aditiva de polímeros y materiales compuestos» streamed during the XXXV Congreso de la Sociedad Polimérica de México, SPM2022 that took…
Copoly(o-hydroxyamide)s (HPA) and copoly(o-hydroxyamide-amide)s (PAA) have been synthesized to be used as continuous phases in mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). These polymeric matrices were blended with different loads (15 and 30…
There is a growing interest in multifunctional composites and in the identification of novel applications for recycled materials. In this work, the design and fabrication of multiple particle-loaded polymer composites,…
Biochar aging may affect the interactions of biochar with water and thus its performance as soil amendment; yet the specific mechanisms underlying these effects are poorly understood. By means of FTIR,…
In this work, using supramolecular polyurethanes theories, two polycaprolactone-based polyurethanes with 2-ureido-4-[1H]-pyrimidinone (UPy) motifs capable of forming quadruple hydrogen bonds were synthetized and characterized, focusing our attention on their capability…
Many efforts are being made to find innovative ways of recycling rubber from end-of-life tires (ELTs), also called ground tire Rubber (GTR). Recycling through devulcanization allows the reintroduction of rubber…
