Natural rubber (NR) is a material with remarkable properties and applications in a wide range of materials. However, its properties can be modified and tailored for the development of new functional polymers with specific properties, in order to contribute to the growing trend in renewable materials for the substitution of fossil-derived counterparts. The nanocomposites are interesting ma…
Interest in polymers from renewable resources is growing vigorously, as part of the generalconcern for sustainability. Additionally, the advent of click chemistry has attracted considerable attention in a wide range of synthetic domains, mainly due to its green chemistry connotation and versatility. In the context of polymer science, two types of applications stand out in terms of useful …
The development of new drug delivery systems in antitumor field is critical because the efficacy of the treatment and peripheral toxicity, that can be decisive in the treatment choice. Among several natural polymers, cellulose deserves special attention because its remarkable properties for use in the biomedical field, such as biocompatibility, mechanical properties, water absorption, etc…
Bio-inspired material systems derived from living organisms constitutes systems fromnature, in form of composites, with molecular-scale interactions optimized to direct functionalfeatures. This project focus on the development of new composite materials based in twonatural polymers, endowed with different properties, microfibrillated cellulose and peptidesfrom mussels. The main properties…
The possible shortage of crude oil and the unpredictable increase in its prices have led to an impressive expansion of initiatives in the last decades dedicated to the search of alternative sources of chemicals and polymers. Thus, in view of the wide availability of vegetable and animal biomass and the number of excellent features offered from it, this project aims to use levulinic and it…
