M.Sc. in Physics from the University of São Paulo (1995), Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of São Paulo (1998) and post-doctoral fellowships at the University of Wales (1998 - 2000), Embrapa/CNPDIA (2000 - 2002) and University of Texas at Dallas (2018-2019). Experience in Physics and Materials Science, with emphasis on ultrafine films (Langmuir-Blodgett and self-assembled by physical adsorption), acting mainly in "electronic tongue" sensors, microfluidic adaptations for taste masking, and more recently with multifunctional coatings formed by self-healing and conductive nanocomposites.

The Center aims to explore fundamental and applied sciences synergistically to develop novel materials showing high potential for the design and construction of devices and sensors addressing technological challenges associated with sustainability, climate change, precision agriculture, ecology, and health. To attain these objectives, the research team has been built with the concept of i…
By 2050 it is expected that electricity will move from 18 to 50% of the worldwide energy matrix, renewable sources of energy will expand four times from the current installed capacity, but CO2 emissions are expected to be half of today's value. In this scenario it is imperative to build novel solutions for energy storage that are still unavailable today and can cope with the predicted dem…
This project aims the study and fabrication of nanostructured layer-by-layer films (LbL) of graphene nanoplatelets, PEDOT and Montmorilonite clay (MMT) inside microchannels, at distinct combinations and molecular architectures. The main target is the development of microfluidic devices at LABIOEN/UNICAMP throughout supramolecular structures that facilitate the subsequent incorporation of …
We report on optimized architectures containing layer-by-layer (LbL) films of natural rubber latex (NRL), carboxymethyl-chitosan (CMC) and magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles (MNPs) deposited on flexible substrates, which could be easily bent by an external magnetic field. The mechanical response depended on the number of deposited layers and was explained semi-quantitatively with a fully ato…

2D materials have attracted great attention from researchers due to their unique properties, being one of the most fruitful and remarkable areas nowadays. The MXenes form an emerging family of transition metal carbides and/or nitrides. The two-dimensional morphology and ease of combination in different structures, combined with high electrical conductivity, place the MXenes as promising m…
Precision agriculture is essential for greater efficiency in agricultural production without increasing the cultivated area. That is only possible with technologies allowing the rational use of fertilizers and herbicides, minimizing costs and environmental impacts. The controlled application of inputs requires the preliminary mapping of macronutrients in crop-growing areas, which generall…
Here, we will study nanostructured layer-by-layer (LbL) films formed by polymers that heal in the presence of water (self-healing), with the incorporation of graphene derivatives in the self-healing matrix. Our goal is to study through electrical and optical measurement combinations that generate better synergy between conductive and self-healing, as the increase in one property leads to …
This project aims the fabrication of layer-by-layer (LbL) films of conducting polymers (polypyrrole and PEDOT), conventional polyelectrolytes (PSS, PEI, ...) and platinum nanoparticles over Nafion® membranes, envisaging their future application in fuel cells. Alternatively, we intend to use Nafion® as a polianion and apply it in the fabrication of LbL films as well. We will study how the …

MXenes form an emerging class of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides, carbonitrides, and nitrides with unique electrical, chemical, and structural properties, making them highly attractive for numerous technological applications. Their synthesis relies predominantly on chemical etching processes involving hazardous acids, limiting applications, scalability, safety, and industri…
The increasing global demand for food puts pressure on agricultural productivity, which can lead to the expansion of cultivated land and, consequently, to severe environmental impacts. Improving the efficiency in the use of natural resources and the quality of agricultural production, without deforestation or soil degradation, is essential to meet this growing demand. One promising approa…
This project aims the fabrication of hybrid nanostructures based on carbon nanotubes, graphene flakes and polymers, envisaging the formation of self-healing conductive interfaces. It is attractive from the technological point of view as the next generation of wearable and implantable electronics will require mechanical flexibility, large area, easy processing and controlled thin film thic…
