Summary

Researchers studied the thermomechanical behavior and viscoelastic properties of two related bioplastic polymers using multiple processing and characterization techniques, aiming to better understand the processability of biodegradable alternatives to conventional plastics.

En el presente trabajo nos centraremos en el estudio del comportamiento termomecánico y las propiedades viscoelásticas de dos bioplásticos pertenecientes a una misma familia, recurriendo para ella a diferentes técnicas de procesado y caracterización. Para ello primero debemos repasar algunos conceptos generales, comenzando con establecer que consideramos como polímero, identificar la problemática actual de los diferentes polímeros que nos rodean, así como conocer los polímeros biodegradables y como estos pueden ayudar a reducir los numerosos problemas que se nos van a presentar a continuación.
