Abstract

The scientific and technological development of the modern society depends on materials with specific properties for a defined function and application. Composites are a class of materials whose properties can be designed in order to achieve high performance required for different applications. This project aims the study and development of polymeric composites with a wide spectrum of applications. For instance, polymeric composites with structural properties, biocompatible and biodegradable composites would be focused. As strategy to achieve this objective new polymers and fillers will be synthesized as well as commercial polymers and fillers will be used as supplied or chemically modified for a defined purpose. The development of this project compromises important research areas, such as Synthesis and Chemical Modification of Polymers, Characterization, Polymer Processing, Composites Development and Evaluation of Performance. Therefore, this project presents an essentially interdisciplinary character (AU)
