Emerson R. Camargo was born in Brazil in 1970 and received his B.Sc. in Chemistry (1996) and his Master in Physical-chemistry (1998) from the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), During his undergraduate period, he was selected to participate in the PET-Special Training Program, with a scholarship from CAPES. In 1998, he went to Tokyo Institute of Technology (TITech), Japan, to work under the supervision of Professor Masato Kakihana, in the Materials and Structure Laboratory on the development of new soft chemical routes to synthesize nanometric ceramic oxides, where he received his Ph.D. Degree (2001). In 2002, he received the Tejima Award for he best doctoral thesis of an overseas student in that year. In 2006, he was appointed to a permanent position as Associate Professor in Physical Chemistry of Materials at the Department of Chemistry of UFSCar. Current interests include the synthesis of ceramic oxide nanopowders through wet-chemical routes, such as Pechini-based methods, hydrothermal processing, peroxide-based methods and non-aqueous solvothermal routes; the synthesis and characterization of new nanocomposites materials thought the insertion of synthetic nanoparticles into commercial polymers; and the development dental modified materials. Until 2022,he published more than 90 scientific papers, accumulating more than 3000 citations (index h =26). Nowadays, belongs to CEPID/LIEC group, one of the most well equipped laboratory in Brazil, which is supported by Fapesp, CNPq, and several private companies. Collaborates with the new Center for Research in Advancend Materiais and Energy (CPqMAE/UFSCar). (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The treatment of many degenerative diseases or trauma injuries can be overcome using biomaterials, such as injectable hydrogels that are applicable for noninvasive surgery and exhibit potential action in the regeneration and repair of living tissues. The poly (N-vinylcaprolactam) (PNVCL) combined with poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) forms a biocompatible thermosensitive hydrogel with lower cr…
Bismuth titanate (BT) presents several structures with different properties, for instance the ferroelectric perovskite (Bi4Ti3O12) or the dielectric pyrochlore (Bi2Ti2O7), simply by controlling the molar ratio Bi:Ti. There are a huge number of synthesis techniques, however the oxidant peroxo method (OPM) has the advantage to avoid the use of chlorine and to vanish the residual carbon, ele…
In recent years, research focused on the development of biomaterials has intensified, such as injectable hydrogels for use in non-invasive surgery and with potential use as a means of transport and controlled drug delivery. Among them, poly(N-vinylcaprolactam) (PNVCL) can form biocompatible hydrogels with chemical and mechanical properties suitable for use as implants. A promising alterna…

Lithium titanate (Li4Ti5O12, or LTO) with spinel structure can be used as cathode material in lithium batteries, however the presence of residual carbon can result in explosions. There are several wet chemical routes proposed to synthesize LTO, but the oxidant peroxide method (OPM), which uses titanium dioxide nanoparticles with the surface modified with peroxide groups, has some unique a…

Approximately 190 million new bone fractures occur worldwide every year. Although bones have inherent self-healing capabilities, these can be limited, leading to poor regeneration and impaired healing processes. Conventional treatment methods face challenges such as limited regenerative capacity, limitations in auto transplantation, and biocompatibility issues. To address these issues, na…
Bone diseases, such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis, have become relevant to public health due to the growing number of cases. A possible treatment is the use of the flavonoid naringin, which has pro-osteogenic properties. However, this drug is rapidly metabolized by the body, which reduces its clinical performance. As a solution, they can be applied to the body through controlled rele…
The self-organization of inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) using proteins for to build suprastructures has received special attention in the last few years due to the large variety of available components and a large family hybrid material. It is a promising strategy to obtain materials with properties of great scientific and technological interest as optical devices, potential analytical, bi…
Regenerative medicine has increased the expectations for the treatment of numerous degenerative diseases of the human being. For this reason, studies have as a key point the development of biomaterials with similar body tissue properties. Among these, we highlight the injectable hydrogels that can be used in less invasive surgeries and have the potential of regenerate and repair spinal co…
