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…
The goal of this project is to continue the project FAPESP 2011/20153-0 which will finish on Mars/2013. The current project showed that the sonocatalytic activity of titanium dioxide depends on carbon nanotube presence. Therefore, this continuity will be held by the study of the influence of graphene (G), of graphene oxide, functionalized or not, on the sonocatalytic activity of graphene/…

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…
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…
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…
As human life expectancy increases and degenerative bone diseases become more common, especially in the elderly population, the necessity to develop synthetic biomaterials for bone repair and regeneration is becoming increasingly relevant. To solve such problems, different types of materials, as well as calcium silicates, have been studied as possible alternatives for use in the repair an…
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes are increasingly gaining the attention of researchers because of their high surface area and excellent physicochemical properties. They are materials suitable for various applications in the field of materials development, such as the manufacture of catalytic devices, hydrogen sensors, batteries, supercapacitors, solar cells, biomaterials and polymer nano…

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…
Nowadays, tissue engineering focuses on associating cells with scaffolds that are capable of leading to new tissue formation. Therefore, efforts have been made in an attempt to find the ideal morphology using numerous production techniques. Several types of materials are available, each with its own advantages and limitations. Poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate), PHBV, is a high…
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…
