1. Bioactive SiO2-K2O-CaO-P2O5 glass-ceramic scaffold prepared using polyurethane foam template
Abstract A glass-ceramic in the SiO2-K2O-CaO-P2O5 quaternary system was prepared by substituting the Na2O component with K2O to avoid Na2Ca2Si3O9 formation upon thermal treatment since this phase decreases apatite formation kinetics on glass material. To form the glass-ceramic, a modified sol-gel method involving solution precipitation, followed by reagents

3. Additive Manufacturing towards the Fabrication of Greener Electrochemical Sensors for Antioxidants
Additive manufacturing is an emerging tool that has contributed to the sustainable fabrication of devices in several areas based on the concept of “zero waste”. Considering extrusion-based manufacturing (or 3D printing), polylactic acid (PLA) has been highlighted due to its biodegradability, obtention from renewable sources, and compatibility for 3D prin

4. ASPECTOS ESTRUTURAIS DE ESFERAS DE QUITOSANA/PVA RETICULADAS COM GLUTARALDEÍDO SUBMETIDAS A DIFERENTES TRATAMENTOS TÉRMICOS
Chitosan is a biopolymer derived from chitin and the most abundant polysaccharide in nature after cellulose. This biopolymer has been applied in different areas due its biodegradability and biocompatibility properties. Modifications of chitosan structure by cross-linking chemical agents can alter its physical, chemical, and morphological characteristics. The

5. EVOLUÇÃO DIRIGIDA DE ENZIMAS: PEQUENAS MODIFICAÇÕES, MELHORES BIOCATALISADORES
Biocatalysis is now a mature field, both in the laboratory and industrial scale. This approach counts on enzyme high selectivity, biodegradability, elegant control over the outcome of reaction conditions and as a possible solution to address some challenges in Green Chemistry faced by synthetic organic chemists. However, many wild-type ready-to-use enzymes w

6. INCORPORATION OF ESSENTIAL OILS FROM Piper aduncum INTO FILMS MADE FROM ARROWROOT STARCH: EFFECTS ON THEIR PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES AND ANTIFUNGAL ACTIVITY
Starch is a promising source of biopolymers and the incorporation of essential oils (EOs) into it can improve some biological properties of films. This study aimed at developing and characterizing barrier, biodegradability and optical properties of biopolymeric films made from arrowroot starch and at incorporating EOs from Piper aduncum leaves and infloresce

7. Thermal Infrared Enthalpimetry in Paper Microzone Plates for Green and High Throughput Determination of Wine Acidities
The use of paper devices in chemical analysis has been increased due to their low cost, high surface area, portability, and biodegradability. A novel use of paper devices is proposed using thermal infrared enthalpimetry (TIE) for a rapid, green, and high throughput determination of wine acidities. The determination of total, fixed, and volatile acidities in

8. OPTIMIZATION OF BIOFLOCCULANT PRODUCTION BY Bacillus spp. FROM SUGARCANE CROP SOIL OR FROM SLUDGE OF THE AGROINDUSTRIAL EFFLUENT
Abstract Biological flocculants are advantageous due to their biodegradability and safety to living beings. In this work, four bacterial strains, isolated from sugarcane cropped soil (Bacillus megaterium LBPMA-APFSG3Isox and B. toyonensis LBPMA-ACOPR1.Isox) and sludge of an agroindustrial effluent (B. pumilus LBPMA-BLD07 and B. thuringiensis LBPMA-EFIII), we

9. Evaluation of hematite and quartz flotation kinetics using surfactant produced by Rhodococcus erythropolis as bioreagent
Abstract The use of biosurfactants as reagents represents a promising alternative to the conventional surfactants used in the mineral industry because they may present low toxicity and high biodegradability. Therefore, this research studied the hematite and quartz flotation kinetics using surfactant produced by Rhodococcus erythropolis as bioreagent. The flo

11. Chitosan Imparts Better Biological Properties for Poly(ε-caprolactone) Electrospun Membranes than Dexamethasone
Poly(ε-caprolactone), an aliphatic polyester with biodegradability and cytocompatibility, has been used to create scaffolds for tissue engineering purposes. However, the hydrophobicity and low water absorptivity of poly(ε-caprolactone) reduce cell anchorage on their membranes. Here, poly(ε-caprolactone)-based scaffolds were prepared by electrospinning of

12. Morphological, thermal and bioactivity evaluation of electrospun PCL/β-TCP fibers for tissue regeneration
Abstract Electrospinning is a simple and low-cost way to fabricate fibers. Among the various polymers used in electrospinning, polycaprolactone (PCL) stands out due to its excellent biodegradability and biocompatibility. However, PCL has some limitations such as low bioactivity, hydrophobic surface, and long in vivo degradation. Calcium phosphate ceramics h
