Lectura de las proporciones utilizadas por el maestro Ayora en las iglesias salón valencianas del XVIII
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), 2020-03-04)
En el presente artículo se analiza la obra del Maestro Arquitecto Joseph Ayora y su saga, y su aportación a los templos valencianos del XVIII, concebidos siguiendo el modelo hallenkirchen. Nacido en un pequeño pueblo de ...
Effect of debris size on the tribological performance of thermally sprayed coatings
(Elsevier, 2020)
This research aims to assess the effect of the debris particle size on the tribological performance
and lubrication regime parameters of a Ni-based alloy coating. This is a key industrial problem,
and its resolution can ...
On the relationship between the specific heat enhancement of salt-based nanofluids and the ionic exchange capacity of nanoparticles
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018)
Nanoparticles have been used in thermal applications to increase the specific heat of the molten salts used in Concentrated Solar Power plants for thermal energy storage. Although several mechanisms for abnormal enhancement ...
Melt processability, characterization, and antibacterial activity of compression-molded green composite sheets made of poly(3- hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) reinforced with coconut fibers impregnated with oregano essential oil
(Elsevier, 2018-09)
New packaging materials based on green composite sheets consisting of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydro-
xyvalerate) (PHBV) and coconut fibers (CFs) were obtained by twin-screw extrusion (TSE) followed by com-
pression ...
Multilayer structures based on annealed electrospun biopolymer coatings of interest in water and aroma barrier fiber-based food packaging applications
(Wiley, 2018-08)
In this research work, for the first time, a fiber-based packaging material was coated by annealed electrospun ultrathin fibers of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate), poly(vinyl alcohol), and polylactide. The resultant mono- and ...

Enhancement of plasma protein adsorption and osteogenesis of hMSCs by functionalized siloxane coatings for titanium implants
(Wiley, 2018-03)
A series of sol–gel derived silicon based coatings
were developed to improve the osseointegration of commer-
cial titanium dental implants. The osseointegration starts
with a positive interaction between the implant ...
Characterization of thermal contacts between heat exchangers and a thermoelectric module by impedance spectroscopy
(Elsevier, 2019)
Heat to electricity energy conversion efficiency of a thermoelectric (TE) device is not only influenced by the TE materials properties, but it also depends on the temperature difference between both sides of the TE legs. ...
