Current Higher Education students have grown up in a society characterized by the massive use of information technologies, which affects the way they expect to acquire new knowledge. In Chemical Engineering studies, ... -
Electro-active control of the viscous flow and tribological performance of ecolubricants based on phyllosilicate clay minerals and castor oil
García Morales, Moisés; Fernández Silva, Samuel D.; Roman, Claudia; Delgado Canto, Miguel Ángel
(Elsevier, 2020-11)
Lubricating fluids with highly improved tribological performance very often entail the use of environmentally disrespectful formulations. Based on organoclay dispersions in castor oil, the present research explores the ... -
End-performance evaluation of thiourea-modified bituminous binders through viscous flow and linear viscoelasticy testing
Cuadri Vega, Antonio Abad; García Morales, Moisés
; Navarro Domínguez, Francisco Javier
; Airey, Gordon; Partal López, Pedro
(Spinger Verlag, 2013)
Straight-run bitumens are no longer suitable in new asphalt mixtures. Consequently, the use of modified bitumens has become more important. In order to both improve binders mechanical properties and prevent it from phase ... -
Enhancing the viscoelastic properties of bituminous binders via thiourea-modification
Cuadri Vega, Antonio Abad; García Morales, Moisés
; Navarro Domínguez, Francisco Javier
; Partal López, Pedro
(Elsevier, 2012)
Although added in a very low concentration, bitumen controls the final properties and performance of the resulting asphalt mixture. As an alternative to classic bitumen modification with polymers, we herein propose the use ... -
