Lignocellulosic materials are low-cost renewable resources that can be valued if properly used alone or as an additive in the synthesis of other materials. In this project, single-use films (with potential application in the packaging area) and two types of biomaterials (to be used in the medical area) will be developed. Nanofibrillated cellulose (CNF), bacterial cellulose (BC) and lignin…
The New Corona Virus Pandemic made clear the importance of disease treatment and prevention measures and their impact on the economy. This project intends to study the use of some functional polymeric materials as alternatives that contribute to i) the reduction of the spread of diseases, ii) the treatment of common diseases and iii) the reduction of the environmental impact caused by con…
Lignocellulosic fibers can be fractionated in hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin. Cellulose and lignin are the two most abundant biopolymers on earth, and although widely used (pulp and paper industry, civil industry, etc.), their application can be increased, due to their great abundance. From cellulose, it is possible to extract microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) and nanocrystalline cell…
Nowadays polymer nanocomposites reinforced with anionic exchangers having brucite-like structure (layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and layered hydroxide salts (LHSs)) have attracted considerable technological and scientific interest. These synthetic materials have some advantages when compared with cationic exchanger clays, widely used in polymer nanocomposites (ease to synthesize and con…

Tissue engineering for bone regeneration is crucial to improve people's health and quality of life. However, creating biomaterials for this purpose is still a significant challenge due to the complexity of their manufacture, high costs, and difficultiesin large-scale production. Fortunately, biofabrication using bacterial cellulose (BC) and its modification through the impregnation of sus…
In the medical field, biocidal polymers play a fundamental role, as they are capable of preventing or reducing infections if implants or prostheses are made with these materials. The objective of this project is the development of polymeric materials based on poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) with biocidal capacity and physical-chemical characteristics suitable for use as bone cement. Thes…
Oralbased controlled-delivery of drugs as alternative to injections is essential to enhance the health and improve quality of life for people. However, the development of biomaterials for such purpose is still challenging given especially the manufacturing complexity, high cost and difficulty for large-scale production. Owing to its easy, low cost and scalable manufacture, the biofabricat…
Neem is an ancient tree that has been used in Asia as a medicinal plant, but was brought to Brazil only in the late 1980s. The neem components have pesticide, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antifungal and antibacterial properties, among others; and more recently, its anti-cancer properties have been discovered.The excellent properties of the neem, combined with the growing interest in nut…

Bone tumors are especially prevalent in children and adolescents and, if not treated early, they can lead teenagers to death. The main treatment options involve chemo-, radiation, and surgical therapy, and the major challenge that still exists in such approaches is the complete removal of the tumor cells, therefore avoiding postoperative recurrence and metastasis. In line with this challe…
This study intends to prepare cellulose foam filled with 45S5 bioglass for bone tissue engineering. Bioglass 45S5 (46.1 mol% SiO2, 26.9 mol% CaO, 24.4 mol% Na2O, and 2.6 mol% P2O5) will be prepared using a traditional melt-quenching technique. The foams will be prepared by lyophilization. Bioglass will be added to the nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) suspension and the mixture will be plac…
