Abstract

Professor Jean-Michel Nunzi from the Department of Physics, Engineering Physics & Astronomy and the Department of Chemistry, 90 Bader Lane, Queen's University, Kingston ON K7l-3N6, Canadá, will participate in research projects developed in my laboratory and in collaboration with other researchers. This includes the following projects: (i) Thin Films and Biohydrogels for Environmentally Sustainable Industries, CNPq proc. No. 310693/2021-7; (ii) Thin Films of Natural Polymer-N,N-dimethyl-4-(2pyridylazo)aniline for Formation of Grid Relief Surfaces, Thiago Fernando Borges, CNPq-PIBIC grant; (iii) Natural Polymer Hydrogels: Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications, Saddam Hussain, Ph.D. CAPES scholarship; and (iv) Development of Solid and Flexible Substrates Based on Natural Polymers, Fernando Campos Bianchi, CNPq-PIBIC scholarship. During Professor Jean-Michel Nunzi´s visit, he will have the opportunity to interact with students from our laboratory as well as interested researchers. He will also present the seminars and visit USP-São Carlos facilities. (AU)
