- Resumen es exacto "Introduction A brief description of the climate impacts of conventional plastics and a proposal for the development of biodegradable materials as a solution to these problems. Chapter I: Theoretical Introduction Development of polymer properties, along with a description of biopolymers, focusing on cassava starch and sodium alginate, compounds used in the present study. Chapter II: Materials and Methods for the Preparation of CRFs Description of the production and characterization of controlled-release fertilizers formulated from starch and sodium alginate. The materials used and the preparation technique are described. Chapter III: Description of Experimental Techniques Presentation and development of the tests conducted for the characterization of the obtained controlled-release fertilizers. Equipment and techniques used in each case are detailed, equations used for adjustment and subsequent analysis of the results, and measured parameters such as conductivity, humidity, swelling, etc., are outlined. Chapter IV: Results and Analysis Presentation of the results obtained in each of the conducted tests. A synthetic analysis is carried out based on these results, leading to subsequent conclusions. Chapter V: Scale-Up Proposal for a possible scale-up from laboratory scale to pilot plant scale. Mass flow rates, a flowchart, and a process scheme of the proposed plan are specified, and the proposed equipment is detailed. Chapter VI: Conclusions Development of partial conclusions for each of the conducted tests, considering the objectives and hypotheses of the study. Lastly, final conclusions are drawn."
