1. PREPARATION OF HYBRID POLYMERS AND USE AS CONTROLLED RELEASE DELIVERY VEHICLE FOR VOLATILE REPELLENT TO CONTROL Aedes aegypti
The Zika virus is a flavivirus spread by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which also transmits dengue and chikungunya. Current forms of control include elimination of mosquito breeding sites, use of insecticides, repellents and other means. The present study developed new adsorbent materials based on silica and biomaterials capable of releasing an Aedes aegypti m

2. Microbial Synthesis and Characterization of Biodegradable Polyester Copolymers from Burkholderia Cepacia and Cupriavidus Necator Strains Using Crude Glycerol as Substrate
Abstract Polymers are materials of pronounced importance in the modern world, since they are massively present in everyday life, especially in the form of packaging. However, most of these materials are derived from non-renewable sources and their disposal generates large volumes of waste, which is extremely damaging to natural environments. In this context,

3. Effects of Gamma Radiation on the Properties of the Thermoplastic Starch/Poly (Butylene Adipate-co-Terephthalate) Blends
The development of blends made from matrices of synthetic biodegradable polymers, and natural additives, are considered less environmentally aggressive materials. This work aimed to study the effects of gamma radiation on the properties of the thermoplastic starch (TPS)/poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT). In this work, blends of TPS/PBAT were pre

4. Development and in vitro/in vivo evaluation of thermo-sensitive in situ gelling systems for ocular allergy
Ocular allergy is one of the most common disorders of the eye surface. Following diagnosis this condition is typically treated with preparations containing antihistamines. However, anatomy of the eye and its natural protective mechanisms create challenges for ocular drug delivery. Rapid elimination of antihistamine substances due to short residency times fol

5. Stabilization effect of kraft lignin into PBAT:Thermal analyses approach
ABSTRACT Sterically hindered phenols are an important class of synthetic antioxidants for polymers, commonly incorporated to inhibit polyolefins or polyesters oxidation. However, synthetic antioxidants use is under restricted regulation due to their potential health risk and environmental impacts. Thus, great interest has been attracted to the phenol-based n

6. Produção de ácido lático em meio à base de efluentes da indústria de alimentos por cultura láctea mista imobilizada
Resumo O ácido polilático (PLA), o mais conhecido bioplástico com potencial para ser o substituto dos polímeros derivados do petróleo, é produzido pela polimerização do ácido lático. A aplicação do ácido lático para a produção de ácido polilático tem levado a um aumento substancial no seu consumo. Entretanto, o custo da matéria-prima repre

7. THE MULTIROLE OF MODIFIED NATURAL GUMS FOR MULTICOMPONENT POLYMERS: AS COUPLING AGENTS FOR POLYMERS REINFORCED WITH CELLULOSIC FIBERS OR COMPATIBILIZERS FOR BIODEGRADABLE POLYMER BLENDS
In this work, the capability to use pine rosin as a biodegradable coupling agent/compatibilizer is studied. To formulate composites, post-consumer polypropylene and discarded agave fibers (as reinforcing agent) are coupled with pine rosin (in pure or maleated form). Besides, poly(lactic acid) (PLA) with poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) are comp

8. Synthesis, characterization and antibacterial activity of novel poly(silyl ether)s based on palm and soy oils
Abstract In this research, palm oil and soy oil were used as a natural polyol to prepare novel poly(silyl ether)s. Palm oil and soy oil were first converted to monoglyceride by one step via alcoholysis process in the presence of 0.1% CaO as a catalyst. The monoglycerides were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic

9. Water-uptake properties of a fish protein-based superabsorbent hydrogel chemically modified with ethanol
Abstract Hydrophilic polymers can form hydrogels, which are able to absorb and retain as much water as one hundred times their weight. Polymers based on natural products have been drawing attention since they are biocompatible, biodegradable and nontoxic. The aims of this study were to produce and to characterize a biopolymer with superabsorbent properties

10. Molecular dynamics studies of amylose plasticized with Brazilian Cerrado oils: part I
Abstract Biodegradable polymers have become part of the realm of polymer science with specially when associated to renewable sources. Unraveling the plasticizer effect of natural occurring fatty acids in the Brazilian Cerrado on amylose oligomers was aimed in this work in an aqueous environment. Since the interactions within a material are of extreme import

11. HIDROGÉIS NANOCOMPÓSITOS DE POLISSACARÍDEO COM ZEÓLITA: AVALIAÇÃO DO PROCESSO DE ADSORÇÃO DO PESTICIDA PARAQUAT
In this work, nanocomposites formed from the natural polymer carboxymethylcellulose in combination with the polyacrylamide polymer and zeolite were obtained and characterized in relation to pesticide sorption capability. Hydrogels are three-dimensional network with large capacity of water or biological fluid adsorption. They have biocompatibility, biodegrada

12. Lead hazard evaluation for cathode ray tube monitors in Brazil
Abstract Cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors are electronic equipment mainly made of glass, polymers and metals. These devices became obsolete because of emerging technologies such as LCD, LED and plasma; thus generating a huge stockpile of e-waste worldwide. In this CRT study, a natural leaching simulation (NBR10005) was performed to determine the toxicity of t
