This project aims at achieving controlled association of varied colloids through either hydrophobic, electrostatic, or covalent bonds (or their combination) to tailor their characteristics, preferably in a reversible fashion. The envisaged functional colloidal objects span from surfactant and/or polymer aggregates, to nanoparticles of inorganic nature (mostly silica) or derived from renew…
Lignocellulosic biomass is an abundant source of nanostructures, energy and high value-added components, which can supply the demands of the actual society in a more sustainable and less pollutant way as compared to the technologies currently available. Carbohydrates extracted from plant cell wall can be used to produce biofuels. Besides this, these carbohydrates are highly organized with…
Lignocellulosic biomass represents an abundant and renewable source of carbon for the production of biofuels and diverse bioproducts, which can supply many of the modern society demands in a more sustainable and environmental-friendly way when compared to the procedures currently used. To assure the sustainability of the biomass conversion processes, it is important to optimize and to com…
The use of lignocellulosic biomass for the production of diverse bioproducts is a dynamic research area nowadays. Different pretreatment methods have been proposed to deconstruct plant cell wall, enabling the fractionation of its components and their conversion into fermentable sugars. To understand the action mechanisms of these agents on the cell wall, an integrated study is required, a…
Hydrogels for wound dressing applications must use materials with specific chemical and mechanical properties that allow the biological process of healing. In this context, this PhD project proposes the development of nanocomposite hydrogels, which will be inspired by plant cell wall composition and structure to have suitable properties that allow their application as wound dressings. For…
Cellulose nanofibers (CNF) can be extracted from agro-industrial residues and used to produce advanced materials, such as hydrogels. However, the production of CNF demands a lot of energy and the hydrogels that are produced need additives to improve the mechanical properties but commonly add toxicity into the material. Therefore, the purpose of this project will be to produce hydrogels fr…
Sugarcane bagasse is a biomass available in large quantities in Brazil (around 200 million tons/year), being produced as a residue of ethanol and sugar production. Currently, this biomass has been underutilized, but new ideas for its use have emerged, such as the production of second generation ethanol, whiskers and cellulose nanofibers for the preparation of polymer composite materials w…

Coaxial wet spinning is a low-cost and scalable process to produce cellulosic absorbent materials replacing energy-demanding methodologies, such as freeze-drying. By this method, hydrogels (core) could be encapsulated in a polymer sheet (shell) by simultaneous extrusion directly into a coagulant bath. The chosen materials are mandatory to define the spun fiber properties, such as mechanic…
