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,…
The agribusiness represents one of the most important sectors of Brazilian economy, having crucial relevance in GDP value, job generation, balance of trade and food supply. For Brazil to continue with this leadership, it becomes necessary to keep the investments in research, development and innovation, where the research in novel functional materials and nanotechnology can give a great co…
Nanomaterials such as nanoparticles, nanofibers and nanostructured films are promising for the development of miniaturized devices. Among such nanomaterials, polymeric nanofibers stands out due to their high surface are and good mechanical properties. Nanostructured polymeric films are of great applicability for the development of chemical sensors such as the electronic tongue. More recen…

Fungal diseases annually cause losses in agricultural production and great economic loss. In Brazil, cultures with commercial importance are also affected by pathologies caused by these microorganisms. The diagnosis at the initial stage of infection in plants can mean greater efficiency in controlling the disease, with a consequent increase in productivity and economic gains. In this sens…
In this work we will investigate distinct syntheses routes and characterization of molybdenum dissulphyde (MoS2) nanostructures, once such materials presented a broad variety of technology applications, including sensors (optical, electric and electrochemical), semiconductors (voltaic cells and battery) and photocatalyses (H2 evolution and organic pollutants degradation). Among the severa…
Brazilian agribusiness has enormous impact on the country's economy, playing a decisive role in the production and storage of various types of food, including fruits. Despite the significant numbers achieved by the industry in recent years, continued investment in research and new technologies is essential for these advances to continue. In this context, this project aims at the developme…
The present project aims at the development of electrochemical and colorimetricsensors, based on nanofibers modified with nanomaterials that can aid and improve thedetection of mycotoxins. Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by a largenumber of fungi. Among mycotoxins, aflatoxins (FA) are considered to be the mosttoxicogenic fungal metabolites with carcinogenic, mutagenic, terat…
Graphene Quantum Dots (GQD) are graphene fragments consisting of one or a few layer shaving lateral dimensions smaller than 100 nm. GQD possess the appealing characteristics of graphene, viz. high surface area to volume ratio and high electrical conductivity, presenting also photoluminescence properties due to the quantum confinement and edge effects. The first synthesis of GQD was report…

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…
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) can cause several environmental and human health risks. In this context, chemical sensors have been proposed as a suitable alternative to monitor VOCs, due to sensitivity, selectivity and portability characteristics. The use of flexible electrodes as substrates for chemical sensors based on composites (conductive/ceramic polymers) provides additional adva…
The integration and remote control of devices capable to monitor in real-time hazardous and toxic analytes are highly required nowadays in the most diverse areas. In this context, wireless sensors controlled via smartphones have become a fascinating alternative especially due to its broad possibilities of applications in areas ranging from medicine to environment. The present project aim…
The emergent interest in the detection of biomolecules aimed at several medical and biotechnological applications has enabled the development and growth of a new strand in the field of sensors and biosensors. Among biosensors, the immunosensors have been developed for the detection of biomolecules produced by immunological response of the organism in the presence of foreign bodies, such a…
