OOur research, innovation, and dissemination center, called the Center of Molecular Engineering for Advanced Materials (CMEAM), is substantiated on molecular engineering concepts, i.e., how to explore atomic and molecular interactions to develop new processes and build advanced and safer materials and devices on demand. Specifically, we will apply the advanced concepts of colloidal synthe…
The integration and re-usability of nanomaterial toxicity data are critical points for international nanosafety regulations. Nanoinformatics is an emerging approach supporting the global management and analysis of nanotoxicity data. The Eco-corona concept is an important one in environmental nanoscience and nanosafety with implications for the toxicity evaluation of nanomaterials. Importa…
This new INCT proposal is being presented by the same team that has concluded the previous project. This new proposal contains great changes and preserves the main performance rules characteristic from the first term of the project, which determined a very positive feedback from the evaluators concerning to results on all project approaches. On the other side, based on results obtained, t…
Graphene oxide (GO) has been explored for several applications, from biomedicine and pharmaceutical products to environmental remediation and electronic devices. Given the growing interest in GO by industries and research around the world, it is essential to consider the environmental health and safety aspects towards sustainable innovations. Therefore, a research priority in the field of…
The replacement of plastic by biodegradable films has been widely studied, as plastic materials take a long time to degrade increasing environmental pollution. Nanocellulose films both containing or not additives (i.e., silver nanoparticles and graphene oxide) show interesting properties to produce new advanced materials as a plastic substitute. However, the biodegradation process and its…
Nanomaterials have multiple functionalities due to their unique physicochemical properties. These properties are directly associated with biological effects, nanobiointeractions, and toxicity. Data mining and machine learning (ML) techniques are excellent tools for visualizing information and predicting the toxicity of nanomaterials. However, a robust predictive model and database that en…

Graphene oxide (GO) is an emerging nanomaterial, highly regarded for its properties and characteristics, such as hydrophilicity and reactivity. The existence of functional groups on GO's surfaces, such as carboxyl and carbonyl, improve the interactions with biomolecules and microorganisms, causing an antimicrobial effect by different mechanisms. Additionally, these oxygen groups allow the…
Copper oxide nanoparticles (65CuONPs) are advanced materials for innovation, particularly in agricultural and environmental sciences, where they can be used for the development of fertilizers, pesticides, and fungicides. Once released in the environment, the nanoparticles undergo changes due chemical, physical, and biological processes, modifying their original (pristine) properties and r…
The nanoparticle corona refers to the layer of macromolecules that spontaneously form onto nanoparticles surface, altering their natural behavior and influencing their stability, reactivity, and ecotoxicity. The composition, structure, and dimensions of this coating depend on both the characteristics of the nanoparticles and the medium in which they are exposed. While the protein corona i…
Understanding the interactions of nanomaterials with environmental and biological systems is essential for the safe innovation and responsible development of nanotechnology. In this direction, nano(eco)toxicity assessment, nanoinformatics and the regulation of nanomaterials are priority areas in the Brazil-EU Science & Technology cooperation roadmap (2018-2020). The aims of this visiting …
