4. High-barrier and antibacterial films based on PET/SiOx for food packaging applications
Abstract High-barrier and antibacterial materials have potential applications in the field of preservative packaging for fresh meat products. In this paper, UV irradiation and silane coupling agent (KH550) were used to modify the surface of SiOx coating on polyester (PET)/SiOx film to prepare the PET/SiOx/chitosan and PET/SiOx/chitosan-nano-ZnO composite fil

5. Incorporation of Fluorescent Dyes in Electrospun Chitosan/Poly(ethylene oxide)
Polymeric films have been increasingly investigated due to the ease of miniaturization and integration in several sensor devices. Films obtained from the electrospinning technique have a controlled diameter and homogeneity, and substances can be incorporated into the polymeric network. Electrospinning fiber of chitosan (Ch) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) was

6. 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

9. Antibacterial activity of essential oils encapsulated in chitosan nanoparticles
Abstract In this study, cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum), thyme (Thymus vulgaris) and Schinus molle essential oils (at 125, 250 and 500 µg/mL) were encapsulated in chitosan nanoparticles by ionotropic gelation. Their antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Enterococcus sp., Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Klebsiella pneumoniae (BLEE +)

10. BIONANOCOMPÓSITOS POLIMÉRICOS À BASE DE MONTMORILLONITA – MATERIAIS DE INTERESSE CONTÍNUO
Polymeric bionanocomposites are versatile materials that have many practical applications. The wide use of these materials is mainly due to their structure and properties, which combine at nanometric scale, the functionality of biopolymers with the excellent stability of inorganic solids, such as the clay minerals family. Montmorillonite is the most widely e

11. IMPROVING THE CATALYTIC FEATURES OF THE LIPASE FROM Rhizomucor miehei IMMOBILIZED ON CHITOSAN-BASED HYBRID MATRICES BY ALTERING THE CHEMICAL ACTIVATION CONDITIONS
The lipase from Rhizomucor miehei (RML) has been immobilized on chitosan-based hybrid (sodium alginate or carrageenan) matrices activated with glycidol (GLY), epichlorohydrin (EPI) or glutaraldehyde (GLU) groups. Then, the properties of the different biocatalysts have been evaluated and compared with the soluble RML. Thermal stability (at pH 7.0 and 60 °C)

12. 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
