• closedAccess   Effect of the Strain Rate and Drawing Temperature on the Mechanical Behavior of EVOH and EVOH Composites 

      Franco Urquiza, Edgar A.; Gamez-Perez, Jose; Velázquez Infante, Julio César; Santana Pérez, Orlando Onofre; Martínez Benazat, Antonio; Maspoch, Maria Lluïsa Wiley (2013-03)
      The effect of the strain rate and draw temperature on the mechanical behavior of ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) and EVOH composites was analyzed. When EVOH is stretched at moderate strain rates, evidence of strain-induced ...
    • closedAccess   Effect of the unidirectional drawing on the thermal and mechanical properties of PLA films with different L-isomer content 

      Velázquez Infante, Julio César; Gamez-Perez, Jose; Franco Urquiza, Edgar A.; Santana Pérez, Orlando Onofre; Carrasco, Félix; Maspoch, Maria Lluïsa Wiley Periodicals, Inc. (2013-02)
      This work simulates the thermoforming process of two different L-isomer content PLA grades (95.6 and 98%), studying the influence on the induced morphology and the variation in the thermal and tensile properties. The ...

      Gamez-Perez, Jose; Velázquez Infante, Julio César; Franco Urquiza, Edgar A.; Santana Pérez, Orlando Onofre; Maspoch, Maria Lluïsa; Bárcenas-Martínez, Sandra Universidad de Oriente (2014)
      En este trabajo se investiga la influencia del procesado y del contenido de nanoarcilla en las propiedades mecánicas de láminas obtenidas por extrusión-calandra a partir de un grado comercial de PLA y una nanoarcilla ...
    • closedAccess   Fracture behavior of quenched poly(lactic acid) 

      Gamez-Perez, Jose; Velázquez Infante, Julio César; Franco Urquiza, Edgar A.; Pagès, Pere; Carrasco, Félix; Santana Pérez, Orlando Onofre; Maspoch, Maria Lluïsa BME-PT (2011)
      The effect of a quenching treatment applied on heated cast sheet extruded films of two poly(lactic acid) (PLA) commercial grades, with different optical purities, was studied. The thermal and mechanical properties of the ...
