As human life expectancy increases and degenerative bone diseases become more common, especially in the elderly, the need to develop synthetic biomaterials for bone repair and regeneration is becoming increasingly important. In this context, wollastonite-based cements (CaSiO3) have been shown to be a viable biomaterial alternative due to characteristics such as biocompatibility, bioactivi…
Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) acrylic resins are the main material used in the manufacture of dental prostheses, in particular based on total dentures (dentures). PMMA has many advantages, such as easy processing, simple repairs, low cost and aesthetics. Despite the great progress of research since its introduction in the commercial market, some limitations still persist, such as the adhe…
Recently, carbon nanotubes (CNT), specially the functionalized ones, have been added to polymeric matrix due to its excellent mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. The adding of CNTs into PEAD matrix, as reinforcement, can improve the matrix properties, but also changes the fusion/crystallization process. The fusion/crystallization process study is very important due to it affe…

Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field that combines biological sciences and engineering to create biocompatible materials that are capable of regenerating damaged tissue. In recent years, many studies have addressed the production of biomaterials that simulate the environment of a natural extracellular matrix, in addition to offering efficiency in the recovery of damaged tissue…
Among ceramic materials with potential for use in medical and dental applications, wollastonite has gained prominence for its physicochemical properties, biocompatibility, bioactivity, biodegradability and non-toxicity. The different synthesis methods, as well as the silicon precursors used, can influence physical parameters (such as pore size) and mechanical properties (such as viscoelas…
As human life expectancy increases and degenerative bone diseases become more common, especially in older people. The development of synthetic biomaterials for bone repair and regeneration is becoming increasingly important. To solve such problems, different types of materials, such as calcium silicates, have been studied as possible alternatives to repair and replace hard tissues. Recent…
Y-TZP zirconia has been the most promising material in dental restorations as it presents biocompatibility combined by high mechanical properties, especially in the first and second generation. Despite the advances in Y-TZP research since its introduction in the commercial market, some limitations still persist, such as the need to improve the translucency properties to imitate the appear…

The project "Innovative Silicate Bioactive Glass Ions Scaffold Fabrication: Harnessing Silanol Nanoparticles for Enhanced Cellular Responses" led by Prof. Dr. Gilmar Patrocínio Thim, with overseas supervision by Prof. Dr. Aldo Roberto Boccaccini at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, focuses on the innovation of biomaterials for applications in biomedical engineering, e…
The healing process is complex and consists of several phases, such as hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling with the formation of scar tissue. An ideal wound dressing, which acts effectively in the regeneration of injured tissue, should act adequately in all phases of the healing process. In this sense, in the regular doctoral project, a dressing based on polycaprolacto…
Zirconia Y-TZP has been the most promising material in dental prosthodontics. Nonetheless, limitations persist despite intensive developments in powder technology. Current monolithic zirconia presents agglomerated particles that leave unfilled interstices behind, the origin of "Mercedes-Benz stars" after pre-sintering and high-temperature sintering. Such defects are responsible for severe…
In the last decades, diseases such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis are becoming a common occurrence and the necessity of new technologies for bone regeneration has been growing. The most usual and known as the gold standard for this treatment is autograft. The problem associated with this technique is potential infections and the poverty of availability for certain applications. Biocer…
