El biodeterioro que se presenta en los sistemas de drenaje de concreto se define como el estropicio causado a la infraestructura de ese material por la actividad microbiana y los productos del metabolismo microbiológicos, principalmente ácido sulfúrico, por lo que también es conocida como corrosión ácida. En Canadá y la parte norte de Estados Unidos, este tipo de fallas en los sistemas de drenaje por corrosión-ácida no son tan frecuentes. Ciudades como Boston, Edmonton, Montreal y Nueva York han reportado (al menos en los diarios o en la literatura comercial) varios casos de corrosión en concreto. Sin embargo, en la parte sur de los Estados Unidos, el rápido deterioro de la infraestructura para el manejo de agua residual está causando problemas serios y caros de resolver. En la frontera México-americana, con una población combinada de más de 15 millones de habitantes, la problemática es particularmente alarmante. En este trabajo se expone el diagnóstico de este tipo de biodeterioro del concreto en la ciudad de Reynosa, Tamaulipas, México, y se dan algunas recomendaciones para mitigarlo, siendo la más importante la de revisar la norma mexicana de cemento tipo portland (ONNCCE, 2004), que no toma en consideración la variable “biodeterioro del concreto” ni su mecanismo.

We explored the potential of different nanoparticles (TiO2, CaCO3, and Al2O3), considering their pure form and modified with cinnamon essential oil (CEO). These materials were characterized using various techniques, including FTIR spectroscopy, XRD analysis, TGA, and SEM. The interaction between CEO and nanoparticles changed depending on the nanoparticle type. Al2O3 nanoparticles exhibited the strongest interaction with CEO, increasing their antioxidant capacity by around 40% and their transfer of antimicrobial properties, particularly against Gram-negative bacteria. In contrast, TiO2 and CaCO3 nanoparticles showed limited interaction with CEO, resulting in lower antioxidant capacity and antimicrobial activity. Incorporating pure and CEO-modified nanoparticles into polylactic acid (PLA) films improved their mechanical and thermal properties, which are suitable for applications requiring greater strength. This research highlights the potential of metal oxide nanoparticles to enhance the antimicrobial and antioxidant capabilities of polymers. In addition, incorporating cinnamon essential oil can increase the antioxidant and antimicrobial effectiveness of the metal oxide nanoparticles and improve the mechanical and thermal properties of PLA films. Thus, these PLA films exhibit favorable characteristics for active packaging applications.
