Abstract:Biodiesel is a fuel from renewable sources which has several environmental advantages. However, due to structural characteristics, it becomes susceptible to oxidation, requiring the use of antioxidants. In this way, antioxidants added to biodiesel could be degraded when exposed to environmental conditions, reducing their capacity. Therefore, carrier systems, such as nanospheres, are an alternative to providing protection and controlled release of antioxidants. In this work, poly-ε-caprolactone nanospheres cont… Show more
