Resinas compuestas: Revisión de los materiales e indicaciones clínicas
2006
El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar los diferentes componentes de los composites actualmente utilizados en Odontología y aportar al profesional las bases que puedan proporcionarle los criterios a tener en cuenta para seleccionar uno u otro en función de los requerimientos terapéuticos. La mayoría de los composites de uso en Odontología corresponden a materiales híbridos, se denominan así por estar conformados por grupos poliméricos reforzados por una fase inorgánica de vidrio de diferente composición, tamaño y porcentaje de relleno. Los composites fluidos o los condensables han tratado de dar respuesta algunos requerimientos funcionales, aunque sin demasiado éxito en la mejora de sus p…
Green composites of organic materials and recycled post-consumer polyethylene
2004
International audience; Addition of organic fillers to post‐consumer recycled plastics can give rise to several advantages. First of all, the cost of these fillers is usually very low, the organic fillers are biodegradable contributing to an improved environmental impact and, last but not least, some mechanical and thermomechanical properties can be enhanced. Organic fillers are not widely used in the plastic industry although their use is increasing. Bad dispersion into the polymer matrix at high‐level content and poor adhesion with the matrix are the more important obstacles to this approach. In this work various organic fillers have been used with a post‐consumer plastic material origina…
Nanocomposites based on esterified colophony and halloysite clay nanotubes as consolidants for waterlogged archaeological woods
2017
We have designed an innovative protocol for the consolidation of waterlogged archaeological woods by using acetone mixtures of halloysite clay nanotubes and a chemically modified colophony (Rosin). Firstly, we have investigated the thermal properties of HNTs/Rosin nanocomposites, which have been prepared by means of the casting method from acetone. The HNTs content have been systematically changed in order to study the influence of the inorganic filler on the thermal stability and glass transition process of Rosin. We have observed that the thermal properties of the hybrids are affected by the specific HNTs/Rosin interactions. Then, acetone dispersions of HNTs/Rosin composites at variable f…
Effect of TiO2 and Al2O3 Addition on the Performance of Chitosan/Phosphotungstic Composite Membranes for Direct Methanol Fuel Cells
2023
Composite chitosan/phosphotungstic acid (CS/PTA) with the addition of TiO2 and Al2O3 particles were synthesized to be used as proton exchange membranes in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). The influence of fillers was assessed through X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, liquid uptake, ion exchange capacity and methanol permeability measurements. The addition of TiO2 particles into proton exchange membranes led to an increase in crystallinity and a decrease in liquid uptake and methanol permeability with respect to pristine CS/PTA membranes, whilst the effect of the introduction of Al2O3 particles on the characteristics of membranes is almost the op…
