This plan aims to meet the demands for adapting the facilities and equipment needed to improve Embrapa Instrumentação's research infrastructure. Embrapa Instrumentação is a research center located in São Carlos/SP that operates nationwide. This center conducts research, development, and innovation in thematic areas that foster disruptive innovation, based on basic science and technologica…
In this project, we propose to develop conductive polymeric microneedles (MN) to be applied as electrodes for (bio)sensors for minimally invasive monitoring of different analytes. Despite the growing popularity of these platforms, efforts have been focused on coating them with conducting polymers or using metallic microneedles. These materials lack biological stability and require laborio…
To improve performance and greater reliability of the results obtained, which is directly associated with an adequate and functional infrastructure, some improvement services are necessary, as described below:- Readjustment of the physical structure of the Environmental Physics and Chemistry Laboratory, Atomic Absorption Laboratory, Infrared Laboratory and Sample Preparation;- Light and t…
Grand challenges such as the fabrication of sensing devices for early diagnosis of cancer and detection of food/water contamination can only be addressed with concerted efforts in multidisciplinary research. Selected problems within the above challenges will be tackled in this Project by a multiinstitutional team of physicists, chemists, engineers, medical doctors and computer scientists,…

Environmental pollution from plastic waste is a global problem that has been increasing with population, urban and industrial growth. Improper disposal generates several problems, such as accumulation in landfills and oceans. Among plastics, polystyrene, known as Styrofoam, has become a significant environmental problem due to its low recyclability. This project proposes the recycling of …
According to recent statistics, domestic effluents produced by 45% of the Brazilian population do not receive adequate treatment, contributing to the contamination of surface waters in densely populated regions. Compounding this issue is the lack of comprehensive chemical regulation for drinking water in Brazil, resulting in an unknown distribution of these contaminants in surface waters,…
Food loss and waste are serious problems that affect the world, leading to economic, environmental, and social damages. The development of new multifunctional packaging for food can be a strategy to reduce food loss. When formulating these packages from agro-industrial waste, for example, it is also aimed to avoid the formation of new by-products by reusing existing ones, which meets the …

Polymeric nanofibers produced by electrospinning and solution blow spinning are materials with attractive properties due to their special characteristics such as high surface area/volume ratio, mechanical flexibility and possibility of modification (surface or volumetric) with different materials, making it possible to obtain hybrid nanofibers functional. These nanofibers have great poten…
Nowadays, there is great concern about the so-called emerging pollutants owing the impacts they can cause on human health and in the environment. In this context, the development of analytical methods that present high sensitivity, and speed in the diagnosis of these compounds, even when presented in extremely low concentrations, are of enormous relevance. For this purpose, several analyt…

In response to the growing global demand for food due to rapid population growth, it is imperative to increase agricultural production and productivity. To face this challenge, new technologies capable of monitoring agricultural productivity are relevant. Wearable sensors are considered a valuable tool for this purpose, as they can facilitate monitoring plant health and controlling food q…
Periodontitis is a common inflammatory disease elicited by oral pathogens that can cause severe damages to tooth-supporting tissues. Regenerative procedures using guided tissue regeneration (GTR) membrane are considered one of the most efficient approaches for periodontal tissue engineering. However, currently available membranes have limitations in terms of bioactivity and potential rege…
MXenes, one of the latest members of the 2D material family, present outstanding properties, such as high electrical conductivity, fast charge transport, and hydrophilicity, which enable them to be explored in diverse applications. MXenes can also be combined with other materials to yield composites with superior performance. Although graphene-based materials have been explored with MXene…
