Ecofriendly Biopolymer-Based Nanocomposite Films with Improved Photo-Oxidative Resistance

2022

The interest towards high performance biopolymer-based materials increases continuously and, to guarantee appropriately industrial applications, the photo-oxidative resistance and stability of these materials must be adequately addressed. In this study, innovative biopolymer-based nanocomposites, i.e., Polyamide 11 (PA11), containing ad-hoc modified Layered Double Hydroxides (LDH), were successfully formulated and characterized. Particularly, LDH were considered carriers for hindered amine light stabilizing molecules, so two different hindered amine moieties (HALS1 and HALS2) were anchored on LDH layered internal structures and/or outer surfaces. The presence of HALS1 and HALS2 in LDH were …

Photoactivity and Chemical Reactivity in Titanium(IV)-Organic Frameworks

2020

La presente tesis doctoral ha sido realizada como compendio de publicaciones y lleva por título “Fotoactividad y reactividad química en redes metal-orgánicas de titanio(IV)” (Photoactivity and Chemical Reactivity in Titanium(IV)-Organic Frameworks). La tesis se encuentra dividida en cinco capítulos además de un capítulo final de conclusiones y un resumen en castellano. El primer capítulo trata de una introducción acerca de las redes metal-orgánicas (del inglés Metal-Organic Frameworks, MOFs) de titanio(IV) existentes hasta la fecha para dar una visión general de su variedad estructural, así como de las estrategias sintéticas empleadas y las propiedades fotocatalíticas de estos materiales.

Pattern formation in hyperbolic reaction-transport systems and applications to dryland ecology

2023

Pattern formation and modulation is an active branch of mathematics, not only from the perspective of fundamental theory but also for its huge applications in many fields of physics, ecology, chemistry, biology, and other sciences. In this thesis, the occurrence of Turing and wave instabilities, giving rise to stationary and oscillatory patterns, respectively, is theoretically investigated by means of two-compartment reaction-transport hyperbolic systems. The goal is to elucidate the role of inertial times, which are introduced in hyperbolic models to account for the finite-time propagation of disturbances, in stationary and transient dynamics, in supercritical and subcritical regimes. In p…

Bone-Healing Pattern on the Surface of Titanium Implants at Cortical and Marrow Compartments in Two Topographic Sites: an Experimental Study in Rabbi…

2018

This study evaluates the bone-healing patterns on the surface of titanium implants at the cortical and marrow compartments of bicortically-installed implants in the diaphysis and metaphysis of rabbit tibiae. In 27 New Zealand rabbits, two implants, one for each macro-design and with equal resorbable blasted media (RBM) implant surfaces, were randomly implanted in the diaphysis or metaphysis of each tibia. The flaps were sutured to allow submerged healing. The animals were sacrificed after two, four, or eight weeks, with nine weeks used for the period of healing. Ground sections were prepared and analyzed. No statistically significant differences were found between the two groups for newly f…

Anterolateral thigh perforator flap made by customized 3D-printing fabrication of fixed positioning guide for oromaxillofacial reconstruction:a preli…

2022

Oromaxillofacial carcinomas frequently result in serious tissue defect due to enlarged resection for treating their extensive invasion, which require challenging reconstruction. Three-dimensional (3D) printing is an advanced technology which has greatly promoted the progress of craniomaxillofacial reconstructive surgery. This present study aimed to investigate the advantages of anterolateral thigh (ALT) perforator flap manufactured by 3D printing fixed positioning guide template in curing oromaxillofacial defect. Twenty patients with oromaxillofacial defects resulted from severe primary malignant tumors were divided into experimental group assisted by digital technique (n=8) and controlled …

Optimality of Increasing Stability for an Inverse Boundary Value Problem

2021

In this work we study the optimality of increasing stability of the inverse boundary value problem (IBVP) for the Schrödinger equation. The rigorous justification of increasing stability for the IBVP for the Schrödinger equation were established by Isakov [Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst. Ser. S, 4 (2011), pp. 631--640] and by Isakov et al. [Inverse Problems and Applications, Contemp. Math. 615, American Math Society, Providence, RI, 2014, pp. 131--141]. In [Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst. Ser. S, 4 (2011), pp. 631--640] and [Inverse Problems and Applications, Contemp. Math. 615, American Math Society, Providence, RI, 2014, pp. 131--141], the authors showed that the stability of this IBVP increases …

Anion exchange membrane based on alkali doped poly(2,5-benzimidazole) for fuel cell

2012

Abstract The properties of alkali doped poly(2,5-benzimidazole) membrane with different alkali doping levels for fuel cell application are reported in this work. The alkali doping level played an important role for the ion conductivity of the membrane. The ion conductivity significantly increased with alkali doping level. The ion conductivity also increased with the temperature. The ion conductivity of the alkali doped ABPBI membrane (alkali doping level = 0.37), reached to 2.3 × 10 − 2  S cm − 1 at room temperature and 7.3 × 10 − 2  S cm − 1 at 100 °C. The water uptake of the alkali doped ABPBI membrane was increased from 9.1% to 19.2% with increasing alkali doping level at room temperatur…

Pd and PdAu on mesoporous silica for methane oxidation: Effect of SO2

2007

Abstract Palladium and gold–palladium catalysts supported on mesoporous silica were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation. They were characterized by XPS, XRD, BET, and FTIR acidity measurements. The activity was tested in the oxidation of methane under lean conditions. The effect of adding SO 2 to the reactant mixture was investigated. Test reactions were consecutively performed to evaluate the thermal stability and poisoning reversibility. The palladium catalyst performed quite well in terms of the light-off temperature ( T 50 300  °C) and SO 2 tolerance. Moreover, the activity, which decreased after a night treatment in SO 2 at 350 °C, was completely recovered in subsequent cycles. …
