This research proposal is a part of the GreenArt Project (GREen ENdeavor in Art ResToration), an international consortium funded by the Horizon Europe, which aims to develop sustainable solutions for the conservation and restoration of cultural heritage objects. The UNICAMP team proposes the use of plant nanostructures (cellulose nanocrystals and nanofibrils and lignin nanoparticles) extr…
This research proposal aims to produce stable non-aqueous dispersions based on cellulose and lignin nanoparticles that are able to generate protective coatings on cellulosic substrates covered with a water-based pictorial layer. Atoxic and removable protective coatings are essential for prolonging the life span of artwork, such as paintings and books, without endangering the health of the…
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…

This project aims to finance the visit of Prof. Anna Trubetskaya, an associate professor at the Faculty of Biosciences and Aquaculture at Nord University, Norway, to the laboratory of Prof. Camila Rezende at the Institute of Chemistry of Unicamp. The visit, planned to start in January 2025 lasting for 30 days, involve a collaborative study on sustainable marine biopolymers for biomedicine…
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 conservation of cellulose-based artifacts with historical and cultural value is essential for safeguarding the vast knowledge embedded in these materials. The protection of these cultural assets is typically achieved through the application of synthetic polymers or copolymers dissolved in organic solvents. Recently introduced alternative coatings for these substrates are based on the …
The cleaning steps are crucial to ensure the conservation of cultural heritage objects, and conventional protocols for removing dirt (such as dust, grease, repaints, and oxidized varnishes) typically involve the application of aqueous or organic solvents directly on the surface of artworks. However, this approach may have disadvantages both for the artwork itself, because of excessive sol…
In this DSc project, the focus lies on exploring hybrid materials comprising of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) and nanofibrils (CNF) modified with poly(2-alkyl-2-oxazolines) (POx) to create responsive hydrogels and aerogels. By grafting responsive polymers onto the cellulose nanoparticles, innovative properties can be imparted, making them suitable for various biomedical applications. The a…

Paintings on canvas, documents, books and pictures are cellulose-based artifacts that might reach invaluable historical and cultural value. The conservation of cellulosic material is essential to ensure the preservation and public access to this material heritage. One of the main forms of preserving cultural artifacts is the application of varnishes, which create a superficial protective …
Vitrimers are polymeric materials with networks formed by associative dynamic covalent bonds that can be broken or reestablished under specific conditions. Vitrimers combine the remarkable chemical stability and mechanical properties of thermosets with the easy (re)processability of thermoplastics. Additionally, this type of material presents unique functionalities such as self-healing ca…
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…

Cleaning steps are crucial to guarantee the conservation of cultural heritage objects. Gels with pores in micro and nanoscale combined with cleaning fluids have been applied as a solution for a more controlled and selective cleaning, as conventional protocols for removing dirt risk to affect the original components of the artwork and the health of the restorer. The host institution of thi…
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…
