In this proposal, the new Plasticulture Engineering Center will gather the needs of the agriculture producers and direct the choices between privileging already dominated technologies, border or disruptive technologies, or a combination of them to create a sustainable plastic culture market in Brazil. Mission: The Plasticulture Engineering Center has the mission to broaden complex learnin…
The current state-of-the-art in materials science allows for a deep understanding of the microscopic level of matter, in addition to its manipulation with high modeling capacity. However, a technological bottleneck lies in bulk materials, such as particulates, whose macro compositions are associations between smaller building blocks. One of the sustainable and efficient ways to engineer b…
Because they play important physiological roles, biological cilia represent growing biomimetic inspiration for the production of artificial cilia, which may present responsiveness to external stimuli - e.g., magnetic field - if properly additivated. In this context, this research addresses composites of elastomeric matrix filled with magnetic particles, which allow the fabrication of elon…
In line with the increasing demand for sustainable multifunctional materials, this study is intended to produce highly porous materials featuring extremely low densities - so called aerogels - using cellulose nanofibers extracted from renewable sources, such as the agricultural waste generated in sugarcane processing (bagasse). In an effort to provide the nanocellulose aerogels with antim…
The polymers used in packaging industry must fulfill barrier and mechanical properties that assure the conservation and acceptability of the packaged product. Because petroleum-derived polymers match those requirements and are cost-effective, they are the most applied. However, the rising environmental concerns encourage the development of eco-friendly alternatives, such as biodegradable …

This research is devoted to the development of living materials using biorenewable colloids. Basically, cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) are combined with Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells and dried in a controlled fashion into supraparticles that combine the binding capacity of the interlocked CNF matrix and the enclosed yeast cells that retain their metabolic function. The microbial metabolism,…
This research falls within the current scenario involving sustainable and multifunctional materials. Overall, it deals with the controlled deconstruction of the hierarchical architecture of chitin into nanochitin (NCh), which merges the inherent features of pristine chitin (renewability, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and biological activity, to mention a few) and the peculiarities o…
