1. Avaliação do efeito do agente compatibilizante (PP-g-MA) em misturas PP/Amido termoplástico
RESUMO O crescente desperdício de materiais plásticos no meio ambiente juntamente com a preocupação com a futura escassez do petróleo tem aumentado o interesse por polímeros biodegradáveis, como o amido. Nos últimos anos, o amido tem sido utilizado em misturas com diferentes polímeros sintéticos. Essas misturas têm sido compatibilizadas por meio d

2. Toughening of bio-PE upon addition of PCL and PEgAA
Abstract Researches of polymer blends based on biological and biodegradable polymers appear as a viable alternative to develop environmentally friendly materials. Therefore, the aim of this research was to produce compounds made with biological polyethylene, i.e., Biopolyethylene, Bio-PE, added to the biodegradable Polycaprolactone (PCL) and functionalized b

3. Process Evaluation of Sugar-Based Polymeric Colloidal Nanocarrier Formation
Abstract Several studies have demonstrated that sugar-based nanocarriers are recommended to develop drug delivery systems since they are biocompatible and biodegradable and might improve the therapeutic index of currently used drugs by reducing their toxicity and enhancing their bioavailability. Therewith, this work studied the processing conditions to forma

4. Efecto de la adición de bentonita sobre las propiedades ópticas de diferentes materiales compuestos poliméricos
ABSTRACT In this work, composite materials were obtained by the incorporation of bentonite to biodegradable and synthetic polymeric matrices. Commercial (BE) and natural (BM) bentonite samples were employed, as well as three different polymeric matrices: thermoplastic corn starch (TPS), high density polyethylene (HDPE) and a poly(styrene-b-butadiene-b-styren

5. Thermo-Mechanical Properties of P(HB-HV) Nanocomposites Reinforced by Nanodiamonds
Several studies of biodegradable polymers and copolymers have been carried for different applications in the biomedical area. This current study aims to develop a biocomposite to be used as an orthopedic device, using poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) P(HB-HV), a biodegradable copolymer, with 94%HB and 6%HV, as matrix; and nanodiamonds (ND) with p

6. Natural additives for poly (hydroxybutyrate - CO - hydroxyvalerate) - PHBV: effect on mechanical properties and biodegradation
In this work, the improvement of mechanical properties in biodegradable materials was obtained through the incorporation of natural and also biodegradable plasticizers and nucleation agents into the PHBV copolymer. PHBV production with different quantities of additives was obtained by extrusion followed by injection. The additives in the copolymer were effic

7. Volatile fatty acids influence on the structure of microbial communities producing PHAs
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) can be produced by microorganisms and are a biodegradable alternative to fossil-fuel based plastics. Currently, the focus is on reducing production costs by exploring alternative substrates for PHAs production, and on producing copolymers which are less brittle than monomers. Accordingly, this study used a substrate consisting of

8. The effect of gamma radiation on mechanical properties of biodegradable polymers poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate)
Brazilian poly(3-hydroxybutyrate), P(3-HB), and its copolymer, poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate), P(3-HB-co-3-HV) were irradiated with gamma radiation (60Co) at room temperature and in the presence of oxygen. The viscosity-average molar mass (Mv) was analyzed by viscometry using an Ostwald-type capillary viscometer. Both polymers showed a decreas

9. Avaliação do potencial de Burkholderia sacchari produzir o copolimero biodegradável poli(3-hidroxibutirato-co-3-hidroxihexanoato) [P(3HB-co-3HHX)]. / Evaluating the potential of Burkholderia sacchari to produce the biodegradable copolymer poly (3-hydroxybutirate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate).
The ability of B. sacchari to accumulate poly-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate (P3HB-co-3HHx) from glucose and hexanoic acid was confirmed. 3HHx content was up to 2 mol% of PHA (<10% of the maximum theoretical 3HHx from the acid), indicating a substrate flexibility of B. sacchari PHA synthase, but high efficiency of hexanoate catabolic pathways. Therm

10. Effect of electron beam irradiation on mechanical properties of gelatin/Brazil nut shell fiber composites
The use of natural fiber as polymeric matrix reinforcement has attracted interest, as fibers are renewable, of low cost, biodegradable and possesses non-toxic properties. In the present paper, Brazil nuts (Bertholletia excelsa) shell fiber (10% w/w) were mixed with gelatin (25% w/w), glycerin as plasticizer and acrylamide as copolymer to investigate the resu
