This research project proposes the use of reactive extrusion (REX) for the preparation of new materials based on thermoplastic starch (TPS). It is proposed the use of a single screw extruder specifically designed for REX. There are two main objectives; i) to study the reactive blending of starch and other polymers, such as polylactic acid (PLA), polihidroxyalcanoates (PHB and PHBV) and al…
Currently, there is a great demand for the use of sustainable materials and reactions. In this context, the use of cellulose nanocrystals as reinforcement in composite materials stands out. However, some problems related to the main method of nanocrystals production and the processes of composite materials production. The current processes to hydrolyze cellulose are carried out in high co…
The development of new processing techniques for polymeric materials which can enhance its applications are of great interest in scientific community and in the industrial field. In many cases in special for natural polymers it is a real technological challenge since most of these polymers do not melt like the conventional thermoplastics which limit their application in several areas. Amo…
Owing to the predictable future scarcity of fossil resources, the number of studies that tackle the development of materials produced from renewable sources has been increasing dramatically in recent years. In this context, the vegetable biomass emerges as a promising source of polymers from renewable resources, particularly those derived from furan compounds. The main precursors of furan…

The advances obtained by the research project (process 2015 / 07744-0), allowed the development of a methodology for the dispersion of polymers of high polarity in thermoplastic matrices besides the development of filaments where molecules of chitosan and modified cellulose nanofibrils (ToNFC) are self-organized through a liquid-liquid interface in a process called interfacial complexatio…
The present project fully integrates the candidate doctoral project, whose main target is the production of new materials based on starch modification via reactive extrusion. It is recognized that any thermoplastic starch (TPS) usage increase depends on the development of new alternatives, capable of providing new properties to this material. The main challenge related to TPS is to enhanc…
