  • Publication number: 20240002760
    Abstract: A method for preparing a fermented molasses including at least one glycine betaine ester, the method includes the steps of (1) providing a fermented beet molasses, (2) adding, into this fermented beet molasses, at least one acid in an acid: glycine betaine molar ratio between 1 and 2.2 and (3) esterifying the acidified fermented molasses obtained in the preceding step by mixing with at least one alcohol. Also, a fermented and esterified molasses including betaine esters and the use thereof for improving the surfactant and/or emulsifying properties of a composition.

  • Publication number: 20230374421
    Abstract: A novel binder and/or disintegrant for obtaining a compressed solid composition for non-oral use, the binder and/or disintegrant being fermented molasses, a process for preparing the compressed solid composition and also a binding and/or disintegrating composition, which includes at least fermented molasses. The fermented molasses advantageously makes it possible to replace synthetic binders conventionally used in compressed solid compositions, while also being able to act as a disintegrant on contact with a liquid, especially water. Thus, a novel way is proposed for utilizing a product which was hitherto solely used in the field of agriculture and livestock farming.

  • Publication number: 20210257538
    Abstract: A piezoelectric device comprises at least one piezoelectric composite layer P inserted between two conductive composite layers E, each layer E forming an electrode, characterized in that: the layer P is a rubber composition containing more than 50 parts by weight per hundred parts by weight rubber, phr, of diene elastomer, a cross-linking system and at least 5 vol. %, in relation to the total volume of the rubber composition, of piezoelectric inorganic charges; and each layer E is a rubber composition containing at least 50 phr of diene elastomer, a cross-linking system, and conductive charges. A method for producing the device and a tire comprising the device are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20200157391
    Abstract: A tire is equipped with an object attached to said tire, said tire including, at the interface between the tire and the attached object, an adhesive layer with a thickness in a range from 1 to 5 mm, characterized in that said adhesive layer is based on a pressure-sensitive silicone adhesive. A process for attaching an object to a tire comprises the steps of applying to the object and/or to the tire an adhesive layer comprising a pressure-sensitive silicone adhesive, said adhesive layer having a thickness in a range extending from 1 to 5 mm; and of joining together the object and the tire.
