Modified Polyol method was used to synthesize a precursor powder, which was calcined at diferent temperatures in order to attain nanoparticles with different size particles. Structural characterization of nanoparticles was carried out by absorption spectroscopy in the infrared region with Fourier Transformed (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (MET). From FTIR technique was possible to investigate chemical bonds and the Ni0,5Zn0,5Fe2O4 phase formation. The evolution of the thermal behavior of both precursor powder and nanoparticles was performed using the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TG). Nanocomposites of vulcanized natural rubber were prepared using different concentration of Ni0,5Zn0,5Fe2O4 nanoparticles, which were added to other components necessary to the vulcanization process of natural rubber (NR), Hevea brasiliensis - clone RRIM 600. The structural analysis of nanocomposites of vulcanized natural rubber containing as additives different fractions of nickel zinc ferrite called here as NR/NZF was conducted by use of techniques: XRD, FTIR, optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Thermal analyses of nanocomposites were performed using DSC, TG, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) in order to identify changes in behavior of vulcanized natural rubber, as a function of fraction of Ni0,5Zn0,5FeO4 nanoparticles.

Cinéticas de espumación y control de la estructura celular en materiales celulares basados en caucho natural y poliolefinas

En este trabajo se han fabricado y caracterizado materiales celulares basados en polipropileno y caucho natural. Los materiales celulares han sido fabricados a partir de procesos de espumado libre (presión atmosférica) y mediante el empleo de agentes espumantes químicos. Con respecto a las espumas de poliproleno, el polipropileno ramificado presentó mayor estabilidad en fundido que los demás polimeros (polipropileno random y lineal). Se han producido espumas con elevados ratios de anisotropia (2,5) mediante el uso de una matriz de caucho natural vulcanizada y utilizando precursores solidos de geometria cilindrica pero con distintas dimensiones. Mediante el uso de irradiación con electrones a distintos niveles se ha obtenido espumas de caucho natural con baja densidad (densidad relativa = 0,1) y con tamaños de celda en algunos casos de 20 micras. Mediante las distintas estrategias empleadas ha sido posible ejercer un control de la estructura celular en distintas etapas del proceso de espumado.

Evaluation of the acid hydrolysis as pre-treatment to enhance the integration and functionality of starch composites filled with rich-in-pectin agri-food waste orange peel

Producción CientíficaThe poor management of citrus wastes as a result of their low compostability and value for animal feeding greatly hinders the disposal of this waste. Nowadays, the incorporation of vegetable biomass into a polymer matrix is widely considered as an emerging approach to reduce the environmental problem related to the accumulation and management of food wastes. However, the fibrillar morphology and chemical heterogeneity of biomass usually restrains the compatibility with polymer matrices. Despite that, starch composites containing up to 40 wt% of the neat/hydrolyzed orange peel with excellent mechanical, and moisture resistant features were successfully fabricated in this research. The compatibility between both components was improved by using a simple and scalable process based on the acid hydrolysis of the biomass. Indeed, it was demonstrated that the final properties of these biocomposites were tuned by modifying the acid conditions (type and concentration of acid). For example, composites treated with chlorohydric acid displayed superior Young’s modulus values (about 30% more) and slightly greater elongation than the composites composed by 40 wt% of neat orange peel. Moreover, the exposure of vegetable biomass to moderate acid conditions (0.1 and 1 M chlorohydric acid) resulted into the generation of highly-value products, such as organic acids or humic substances, able to form ester bonds with the starch matrix strengthening the water resistance and mechanical features of the composites.Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación y Ministerio de Universidades (RTI2018 - 098749-B-I00, PID2021-127108OB-I00, TED2021-130965B-I00 y PDC2022-133391-I00)Junta de Castilla y León - EU-FEDER (CLU-2019-04 y VA202P20)Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación - AEI- Proyecto BIOPAGRO (RTC2019-006989-5)Ministerio de Universidades de España - Next Generation EU-beca postdoctoral “Margarita Salas” (CONVREC-2022-63

Morphological characterization by SEM, TEM and AFM of nanoparticles and functional nanocomposites based on natural rubber filled with oxide nanopowders

Nanocomposites were prepared from mixture of different concentrations of ferroelectric nanoparticles in an elastomeric matrix based on the vulcanized natural rubber. The morphological characterization of nanocomposites was carried out using Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Atomic force microscopy (AFM). The nanocrystalline ferroelectric oxide is potassium strontium niobate (KSN) with stoichiometry KSr2Nb5O15, and was synthesized by the chemical route using a modified polyol method, obtaining particle size and microstrain equal to 20 nm and 0.32, respectively. These ferroelectric nanoparticles were added into the natural rubber in concentrations equal to 1, 3, 5, 10, 20 and 50 phr (parts per hundred of rubber) forming ferroelectric nanocomposites (NR/KSN). Using morphological characterization, we identified the maximum value of surface roughness at low concentrations, in particular, sample with 3 phr of nanoparticles and factors such as encapsulation and uniformity in the distribution of nanoparticles into the natural rubber matrix are investigated and discussed

Natural rubber/leather waste composite foam: A new eco-friendly material and recycling approach

This article describes a new approach of recycling the leather waste (shavings) using it as filler in natural rubber foams composites. The foams were prepared using different amounts of leather waste (0-60 parts per hundred of rubber) and submitted to morphological (SEM microscopy) and mechanical analyses (cyclic stress-strain compression). The increase of leather shavings on the composite causes an increase of viscosity in the mixture, which reflects in the foaming process. This results in smaller and fairly uniform cells. Furthermore, expanded rubber has the biggest cell size, with more than 70% of cell with 1000 mu m, while the composite with the higher concentration of leather has around 80% of total number of cells with 100-400 mu m. The mechanical parameters were found to depend on the leather dust concentration. Moreover, the stiffness rises with the increase of leather shavings; consequently, the compression force for expanded rubber was 0.126 MPa as well as the composite with higher concentration of leather was 7.55 MPa.
