The adherence, permanence and proliferation of infectious agents on surfaces and environments related to healthcare areas requires enormous attention and investment in technologies that bring improvements in sanitization procedures, durability and efficiency, cost reduction, and less environmental impact. This project aims to develop antimicrobial agents that form bacteriostatic films. To…
This project aims investigate the use of glycerol, pure and from the transesterification reaction, for the production of nanoparticulate zinc oxide and ethyl ethers of glycerol. Given that glycerol is the main by-product of biodiesel production with an average proportion of 10 m3 of glycerol per 90 m3 of biodiesel, and that the availability of this polyol tends to increase substantially o…
The main objective of this project is the development of a green route for the production of metallic nanoparticles (Ag, Au and Cu) using as a means of synthesis, extracts obtained from residues (peel/pulp) of guarana production, in addition to investigation of the antitumor activity of these extracts and the nanoparticles produced. The idea of using guarana processing waste aims to minim…

Given that glycerol is the main by-product of biodiesel production with an average proportion of 10 m3 of glycerol per 90 m3 of biodiesel, and that the availability of this polyol tends to increase substantially over the next few years, especia…
The growing interest in alternative vegetable sources to obtain raw materials used for the production of biofuels, food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, among others, has driven research and the study of a greater diversity of vegetables and residues for this purpose. With regard to biofuels, especially biodiesel production, alternative sources of vegetable oil may contribute to minimizing th…
