Intrinsic adhesive and cohesive assessment of the moisture sensitivity of bio-rejuvenated recycled asphalt binders
2019
Alternative binders not derived from fossil fuels, known as biobinders, are opening new paths for multiple applications in road infrastructure. Biobinders, usually produced from bio-oils obtained from the processing of biomass and industry by-products, are tuneable materials whose properties can be adjusted to meet specific targets. For this reason, an interesting approach is to couple biobinders with Reclaimed Asphalt (RA) by taking advantage of their rejuvenating properties to design bio-asphalt mixtures with high-content RA and no additional virgin bitumen. Recent research has proven the feasibility of this approach through validation at full-scale (BioRePavation project). However certai…
Uniform fibre Bragg gratings with an embedded perturbed section for multiple applications
1999
The interest in fibre Bragg gratings has been increased with the development of flexible fabrication techniques which are able to make gratings with any non-uniform characteristic (chirped, apodised, sampled, phase-shifted, etc.) required for an specific application [1].
Mind the gap in the knowledge of the potential food applications of ultrasound based on its mechanism of action
2021
Abstract Ultrasound is recognized as one of the alternative green technologies that are used in food technology over the last decades. It is used for several purposes, such as analysis, preservation, emulsification, crystallization, homogenization, extraction, thawing, filtration, and drying. To achieve these purposes, ultrasound mainly consists of the application of acoustic waves generating mechanical and chemical phenomena that are fundamentally different compared with those applied in conventional methods. The principle of this technology aims to save energy, decreases the processing time, and improves the quality, safety, and shelf life of food products. In this regard, this book chapt…
