The use of cold plasma surface modification techniques has lately gained increasing interest as a complementary option (nonpollutant and free of hazardous chemicals) to increase the thermal stability of bio-based fibers, and thus make them more suitable for polymer reinforcing applications. A considerable amount of studies has been performed to imp...

Automotive and industrial design companies have profusely used commodity materials like glass fiber-reinforced polypropylene. These materials show advantageous ratios between cost and mechanical properties, but poor environmental yields. Natural fibers have been tested as replacements of glass fibers, obtaining noticeable tensile strengths, but bei...
In general, physical chemistry is a multidisciplinary science that involves knowledge of thermodynamics, quantum chemistry, transport phenomena, electrochemistry, among other. In foods, physical chemistry is useful to understand the changes of foods and provide the basis for the food processing optimization. In this context, take in count thermodyn...
In the present work, bleached sugarcane bagasse (CAB) or commercial bleached hemp (CCB) fibers reinforced PA6 composites were manufactured. The processing framework used for these composites consisted in a kinetic mix followed by a double extrusion. This was made to ensure a well fibers dispersion inside the PA6 matrix. Preliminary, the tensile str...
En este libro se aborda como es posible llegar al conocimiento moral científico basándonos en la cuestión de si nuestro comportamiento esta determinado necesariamente por nuestras creencias morales, resolviendo, de paso, algunas otras dudas que pudiéramos tener respecto del cómo, porque y para que, de la ciencia, así como sacar a la luz las contrad...
El Viaje de Icael es una novela épica y fantástica, que tiene la esperanza de convertirse en la obra introductoria al universo fantástico que el autor desea compartir con nuestro mundo físico. Sin embargo, la realidad siempre supera a la ficción, por lo que los lectores encontraran analogías con la historia de la humanidad y la vida cotidiana. Esta...

Cold plasma covering is an ecological, economically, and less harmful to treated material, technology in comparison with chemical covering technology. Cold plasma covering useful for various industrial manufacture of textiles, biochips, friction bearings, fuel tanks, CDs (compact discs), DVDs (digital versatile discs), among others. Cold plasma cov...

Este estudio se llevó a cabo para comprender como son afectadas las propiedades mecánicas, térmicas y morfológicas de las fibras lignocelulósicas debido a tratamientos superficiales utilizando la tecnología de plasma. Es importante mencionar que las fibras lignocelulósicas no dejan huella de carbono y son muy ligeras, entre otras cualidades industr...
