• Abstract

  Absorbable polyesters and composites are one of the main platforms of topical treatment of wounds, which are being developed in the research project entitled "Topical and absorbable biomaterials for the local nitric oxide release". This project concerns the development of novel biomedical technologies for tissue engineering and controlled drug delivery. In this context, a full understand…

• Abstract

  This new INCT proposal is being presented by the same team that has concluded the previous project. This new proposal contains great changes and preserves the main performance rules characteristic from the first term of the project, which determined a very positive feedback from the evaluators concerning to results on all project approaches. On the other side, based on results obtained, t…

  INCT 2014: in Functional Complex Materials, AP.TEM

• Abstract

  The development of novel biomedical technologies for tissue engineering and controlled drug delivery has demanded new platforms of degradable biomaterials capable of avoiding late complications in implantable devices. In turn, non-absorbable biomaterials for topical use have demanded new developments for improving their efficacies, especially for the topical treatment of chronic wounds. I…

• Abstract

  This project deals with concepts of nanotechnology and renewable materials. The aim of this project is to investigate the morphological and dispersion characteristics of cellulose nanocrystals in cellulose ester matrixes and to study the effect of these characteristics on the mechanical and thermal properties of biocomposites processed by extrusion. Surface modification of the nanocrystal…
