Functional coatings based on biopolymers obtained from renewable sources.
Edible coatings for enhancing of shelf-life and quality in food.
Functional coatings for glass and metal based on sol-gel chemistry.
Functional coatings based on biopolymers obtained from renewable sources:
- Chemical transformation of residues (bio-diesel, fatty acids, seaweed, etc..) into water-based resins.
- Water-based polyurethane resins with high solid content and improved performances (high gloss, scratch resistance, easy to clean, etc...)
- Synthesis of functional coatings for wood and plastic composites based on biopolymers and of functional coatings for glass and metals, based on sol-gel chemistry.
- Synthesis of thermoset adhesives for wood particle boards. Non-isocyanate polyurethanes (NIPUs).
- Formulation of acrylate emulsions for thermal and UV curing adhesives
- Characterization of the developed coatings
- Deposition of coatings by dipping, spin coating, spraying or electrodeposition
Edible coatings for enhancing of shelf-life and quality in food:
- Formulation and characterization of edible films and coatings with antimicrobial and antioxidant and barrier to gas properties.
- Micro andnano encapsulation of ingredients.
- Food ingredients extraction.
- Determination of parametersphysico-chemicals ( WTR, OTR, viscosity, etc...), components (HPLC, GC-MS) and nutritionals of food products (TBA)
- Development of alternative and natural methodologies to extend the food shelf-life
Functional coatings for glass and metal based on sol-gel chemistry:
- Synthesis of inorganic and inorganic/organic coatings (SiO2, TiO2,ZnO and derivatives)
- Surface modification of substrates: Wettability, corrosion protection, release properties, surface energy, hardness, scratch and wear resistances, transparency and photocatalytic activity
- Increasing active surface by including mesoporous substrates. SBA-15, TiO2 andsimilars
- Deposition of coatings by dipping, spin coating, spraying or electrodeposition
- Development of thin films, thickness <200nm
- Coatings cured at low temperature (<150ºC) or by UV treatments
- Surfaces Self-cleaning by means of photocatalytic or superhydrophobic coatings
- Roughness surface modification if needed
- Characterization of coatings: SEM, AFM, Raman, FTIR, adhesion, friction coefficient, wear rate, transmittance, refraction index, thermal characterization, electrical conductivity.
