A sustainable methanol-based solvent exchange method to produce nanocellulose-based ecofriendly lubricants
Roman, Claudia; García Morales, Moisés
; Eugenio, María Eugenia; Ibarra, David; Martín Sampedro, Raquel; Delgado Canto, Miguel Ángel (Elsevier, 2021)
A prospective methodology aimed to develop totally sustainable oleogels with potential application in lubrication is reported. Oleogels were prepared with cellulose nanofibrils from elm pulps in castor oil. Even at a ... -
Computational Design Applied to Equilibrium-Staged and Rate-Based Absorption Processes
Román, Claudia; Delgado Canto, Miguel Ángel; Lazar, Liliana; García Morales, Moisés (Revista de Chimie, 2020-08)
Simulators are of great interest in Chemical Engineering because they facilitate process optimization and help evaluate different solutions through the so-called “what-if” approach. They include the most advanced ... -
Effective integration of computational tools into Chemical Engineering studies at an international level
Román, Claudia; Delgado Canto, Miguel Ángel; Lemos, Francisco; García Morales, Moisés (Universitat Politècnica de València, 2020-04)
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 ... -
Exploring the effect of the pulp bleaching on the thermo-rheological behavior of sustainable cellulose nanofiber-based oleogels
Roman, Claudia; Delgado Canto, Miguel Ángel; Fernández Silva, Samuel David; García Morales, Moisés (Elsevier, 2022-09-17)
Taking advantage of the high thickening capacity of cellulose nanofibers in castor oil, sustainable lubricating oleogels were obtained. Methanol was used as mediator to transfer the nanofibers, originally present as a ... -
Fatigue performance evaluation of bitumen mastics reinforced with polyolefins through a dissipated energy approach
Román, Claudia; Delgado Canto, Miguel Ángel; García Morales, Moisés (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, 2020-03)
Polymers are known to improve the fatigue resistance of asphalt mastics. However, undesirable results can be obtained if the polymer is not successfully integrated into the bitumen binder. The goal of this work is to ... -
Preliminary Insights into Electro-Sensitive Ecolubricants: A Comparative Analysis Based on Nanocelluloses and Nanosilicates in Castor Oil
García Morales, Moisés; Fernández Silva, Samuel D.; Roman, Claudia; Delgado Canto, Miguel Ángel (MDPI, 2020-09)
The newest generation of lubricants needs to adapt to stricter environmental policies. Simple and sustainable formulations with tunable rheological properties under the action of electric potentials may be the key. The ... -
Rheological and Tribological Properties of Nanocellulose-Based Ecolubricants
Fernández Silva, Samuel D.; Fernández Silva, Samuel D.; Delgado Canto, Miguel Ángel; Roman, Claudia; García Morales, Moisés (MDPI, 2021)
Based on the response surface methodology, a rheological and tribological study carried out on eco-friendly lubricants is described. Such ecolubricants consisted of fibrillated or crystalline nanocellulose in vegetable ...
