Este proyecto de investigaci\u00f3n aplicada, liderado por la docente investigadora Cristina Rivera, se enfoca en el desarrollo de biocueros como una alternativa sustentable frente al cuero de origen animal y a los materiales sint\u00e9ticos derivados del petr\u00f3leo. La iniciativa se fundamenta en la valorizaci\u00f3n de residuos agroindustriales y recursos locales, en coherencia con principios de econom\u00eda circular y dise\u00f1o sostenible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A diferencia de diversas soluciones presentes en el mercado que incorporan componentes sint\u00e9ticos, esta investigaci\u00f3n apuesta por la creaci\u00f3n de materiales biobasados con potencial de biodegradabilidad, con el prop\u00f3sito de disminuir el impacto ambiental y abrir nuevas oportunidades productivas desde el territorio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El proceso de desarrollo integra experimentaci\u00f3n material, generaci\u00f3n de prototipos y validaci\u00f3n t\u00e9cnica y de uso, incorporando desde etapas tempranas criterios de desempe\u00f1o, manufacturabilidad y percepci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Actualmente, el proyecto se encuentra en una etapa avanzada, con m\u00faltiples tipolog\u00edas de biocuero exploradas, ensayos t\u00e9cnicos preliminares realizados y prototipos funcionales en proceso de evaluaci\u00f3n. En octubre de 2024, la iniciativa obtuvo financiamiento interno de Duoc UC a trav\u00e9s del programa Ventanilla Abierta de la Direcci\u00f3n de Investigaci\u00f3n Aplicada, Innovaci\u00f3n y Transferencia (DIAIT), por un monto cercano a $15 millones, lo que ha permitido fortalecer su desarrollo experimental y su proceso de validaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En este contexto, el proyecto busca aportar al desarrollo de materiales m\u00e1s sostenibles para la industria del dise\u00f1o, promoviendo soluciones innovadoras que integran sustentabilidad, identidad local e investigaci\u00f3n aplicada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
