    Actualmente, la mayoría de las embarcaciones de pequeña eslora se fabrican mediante laminación manual de resina poliéster reforzada con fibra de vidrio. Los principales inconvenientes de la utilización de estos materiales compuestos son: la dependencia de los hidrocarburos para la síntesis de las resinas, el elevado coste energético para la obtención de la fibra de vidrio y la emisión de compuestos volátiles nocivos en el proceso de fabricación. En el presente trabajo, se analizan las ventajas de utilizar laminados de resina de origen renovable reforzada con fibra natural de lino. Para ello, se preparan probetas normalizadas y se someten a ensayos mecánicos de tracción y flexión. A partir de las propiedades obtenidas, se diseña una embarcación de eslora menor de 24 metros siguiendo las indicaciones de la norma internacional ISO 12215-5. Los resultados indican que pese a necesitar mayores espesores de laminado, el peso final de la embarcación se reduce un 12% utilizando biocomposites. El análisis por Elementos Finitos (FEM) subraya la posibilidad de optimizar estructuralmente el diseño de la embarcación. Finalmente, el Análisis del Ciclo de Vida (ACV) pone de manifiesto una mejora medioambiental de la embarcación fabricada con biocomposite frente a la fibra de vidrio. Sin embargo, dicha mejora está limitada por la transformación de suelos y la elevada huella hídrica de la fibra de lino en su proceso productivo.Universidad de Málaga.

    Este trabajo de investigación pretende estudiar el efecto del agua de mar en las propiedades mecánicas de un nuevo biocomposite. Dicho material se ha fabricado mediante el proceso de infusión de una resina bioepoxi (SuperSap®) reforzada con fibra natural de cáñamo tipo “mat”. Para el estudio, se sumergió en agua de mar durante un periodo de bioactividad marina de seis meses. Posteriormente, se sometió al material seco y, tras su inmersión en agua de mar, a un ensayo de impacto por caída de dardo con una energía de E0= 20J a temperatura ambiente T= 23ºC. Además se realizaron ensayos normalizados de resistencia a tracción y se observaron las superficies de rotura al Microscopio Electrónico de Barrido (SEM). Los resultados muestran una pérdida de rigidez del material debido a la degradación provocada por el agua de mar. Se observa también que la absorción de humedad da lugar a un aumento de la energía de impacto disipada por el nuevo biocomposite.This experimental work is aimed at the mechanical characterization of a new biocomposite. Such material is a no-woven hemp fibre reinforced bioepoxi (SuperSap®) manufactured by infusion. The laminate was immersed in seawater during a bioactivity period of six months. The impact behavior, before and after seawater immersion, under low-velocity impact at E0=20J and environment temperature of T=23ºC was investigated. Besides, tensile stress tests were performed and the breaking surfaces were observed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The results show stiffness lost due to resin degradation after seawater immersion. The water absorption pattern of the new biocomposite leads to increase the dissipated impact energy

    This experimental work is aimed at the influence of seawater immersion in low impact energy behavior of a novel Colombian fique fiber reinforced bio-resin laminate. Such material was manufactured by vacuum infusion. The specimens were immersed in seawater during a bioactivity period of six months. Low energy impact tests were performed in order to obtain the penetration and perforation threshold according to energy profiles. The damage extent was characterized by means of Ultrasonics. Tensile stress tests were also performed and the breaking surfaces were analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy. The results revealed that the new biocomposite, after seawater immersion, has higher penetration and perforation thresholds than the biocomposite without immersion. Tensile test results show stiffness lost and increase of elongation at break. This behavior of the immersed biocomposite is due to a plasticization process of the material

    Study X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy determination of interactions between gold nanoparticles and epidermal growth factor for potential use in biomedicine

    Nowadays, biomedical applications of gold nanoparticles coupled with Epidermal Growth Factor have attracted huge attention because of its theranostic activity, which could be useful for diagnosis and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, there is a great interest to know the nature of the intermolecular interactions between the gold nanoparticles and epidermal growth factor (EGF). A two-step synthesis was performed. In the first step, gold nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical reduction of tetrachloroauric acid using sodium citrate as reducing and capping agent. Secondly, gold nanoparticles were coupled with EGF. The obtained nanoparticles were characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and zeta-potential before and after being coupled with the EGF. Gold nanoparticles with an average diameter of 8.09 nm were obtained. After coupled with EGF, the particle average diameter increased to 9.14 nm. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed an electrostatic interaction between gold nanoparticles and EGF. Zeta potential corroborated these results. Thus, it was possible for the first time to identify the interactions between these two chemical species. Since gold nanoparticles may act as carriers of EGF, these results illustrate the great potential for the use of this bionanocomposite in neurodegenerative disease treatment.UAEME

    El 2020 estuvo marcado por el número de medidas restrictivas emitidas para enfrentar la pandemia del Covid-19[1], fortalecer y preparar el sistema de salud nacional y proteger la salud de los colombianos. Además de la evidente crisis en el sistema de salud, dada su incapacidad para atender un número significativo de ciudadanos, las medidas de confinamiento adoptadas por las autoridades nacionales, regionales y municipales produjeron una crisis social y económica nunca antes vista. Amplios sectores de la sociedad colombiana se quedaron sin empleo o fuente de ingresos. En este sentido, la privación de recursos para el sostenimiento de las familias fue extendida a varios estratos del país. Las carencias económicas para cubrir las necesidades básicas de los hogares colombianos se sintieron tanto en los sectores populares, como en las clases medias y profesionales del país
