The living standard of the modern society is largely based on materials made out of functional plastics. To maintain and improve this standard new sustainable approaches for the production of polymeric-materials have to be considered. The use of bio-based plastics is one approach to tackle this issue. Lignin from biomass is one of the most abundant natural polymers. It is expected that du…
Currently available technologies for processing lignocellulose biomass require multiples stages, show very limited degree of control of the intermediate reactivity and generate a significant amount of wastes (e.g. solid lignin and biocharcoals), which typically are combusted to remediate the problem of waste generation. Therefore, none of these processes can considered optimized in terms …
Cellulose is an abundant, renewable natural resource and has a consolidated industrial production by a highly developed industry. Equally abundant, carbon dioxide registers a significant concentration increase in atmospheric due to the use of fossil fuels in human activities and such increase is considered as the main cause of climate changes. In this context, nowadays the industry seeks …

Cellulose is an abundant, biodegradable, and chemically stable natural resource, but presents challenges in the production of polymer blends and composites. When this limitation is overcome, cellulose becomes a valuable and versatile resource in the development of new products and processes, being used in various industrial sectors such as textiles, aerospace, automotive, medical, electro…
Cellulose is an abundant, renewable natural resource and is produced in an commercial scale by a highly developed industry. Equally abundant, carbon dioxide registers a significant increase in concentration in the atmosphere due to the use of fossil fuels in human activities and such increase is considered as the main cause of climate change. In the current context, the industry seeks new…
The high consumption of liquid fuels and the environmental awareness require the production of renewable fuels at very high volumes. The production of 1st generation ethanol is already consolidated in our country and further increases in production should occur with the development of technologies for 2nd generation ethanol, yielding new mills for integral utilization of sugarcane. To be …
This project proposes to investigate the compression of wet cellulosic materials derived from sugarcane bagasse. First, bagasse will be submitted to hydrothermal treatments, alkali delignifications, and acid hydrolysis. The resulting materials will vary in their cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin contents, as well as in cellulose degree of degradation. Each treated bagasse will be kept…

The replacement of inorganic fibers by lignocellulosic fibers as reinforcement in composites was leveraged with the need for "green" methods associated with the use of cheap raw materials, such as sugarcane bagasse. In this context, the use of small amounts of nanocellulose allows a great improvement in the mechanical properties of the composites. This project aims to produce nanocellulos…
