The objective of the circular economy is to definitively change the way in which we produce and consume, it consists of doing more with less, and it brings us back to simplicity, trying to break the dependence: production-consumption of raw materials, making the most of each material and extending its useful life. Through eco-design, it seeks to generate circular products that allow the easy separation of all materials, providing new ways of their management and processing to avoid elimination at the end of their ...

Worldwide there is a need to develop new advanced materials based on silicone elastomers with high-performance properties, reinforced with nanoparticles. The curing process as a primary step has a major impact on the properties of the final product, including the determination of the optimal amount of reinforcing agent in the nanometer range and cross-linking agent (peroxides - specific to food, pharmaceutical, medical and consumer goods industries). The aim of the study is to obtain an antibacterial elastomer com...
