13. AVALIAÇÃO DA EXTENSÃO DA BIODEGRADAÇÃO DE PETRÓLEOS BRASILEIROS COM ÊNFASE NOS N-ALQUILCICLOHEXANOS
The n-alkylcyclohexanes are poorly evaluated in biodegradation studies of Brazilian petroleum samples. In this context, this work aimed to use the homologue series of alkylcyclohexanes to assess extend of biodegradation of 26 petroleum samples from five Brazilian sedimentary basins, analyzed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. The n-alkylcycl

14. 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

15. Atrazine degradation patterns: the role of straw cover and herbicide application history
ABSTRACT: In Brazil, atrazine (ATZ) is widely applied to maize (Zea mays L.) fields for weed control. The presence of ATZ and its metabolites in soil and water matrices has become a matter of some concern for governmental authorities as well as for society at large. This study evaluated the patterns of ATZ degradation (mineralization, extractable and non-ext

16. Thermomechanical Properties of Corn Starch Based Film Reinforced with Coffee Ground Waste as Renewable Resource
Abstract Starches polymeric films offer several advantages for the replacement of synthetic polymers due to their biodegradability, non-toxicity, availability and low cost. However, the high biodegradation potential can cause fragility, considering some fundamental mechanical properties. Therefore, starch based polymeric films were reinforced incorporating l

17. Influence of Ionizing Radiation on Biodegradable Foam Trays for Food Packaging Obtained from Irradiated Cassava Starch
ABSTRACT Biodegradable polymers, such as starch, cellulose, and derivatives thereof, are being studied to produce innovative packaging in the most diverse shapes (films, bags, trays, bottles, etc.) to attend this current market trend. The aim of this work was to produce foam trays from cassava starch for food packaging via extrusion followed by thermoforming

18. Rubber gloves biodegradation by a consortium, mixed culture and pure culture isolated from soil samples
Abstract An increasing production of natural rubber (NR) products has led to major challenges in waste management. In this study, the degradation of rubber latex gloves in a mineral salt medium (MSM) using a bacterial consortium, a mixed culture of the selected bacteria and a pure culture were studied. The highest 18% weight loss of the rubber gloves were de

19. Early fragmentation of polyester urethane sheet neither causes persistent oxidative stress nor alters the outcome of normal tissue healing in rat skin
Abstract Silicone breast implant is associated with complications inherent to the surgical procedure. Prosthesis coating with polyurethane, however, commonly reduces the incidence of such complications. In this paper, the authors evaluated the inflammatory histomorphometric profile and oxidative damage associated to the implant of polyester urethane sheets.

20. Denaturation processes of collagen from cow bones as a function of temperature
ABSTRACT The thermal stability of collagen is of great interest for the scientific communities both of medicine and archaeology. In medicine, the interest is focused to the reconstruction and repair of bone and cartilage, given the frequency and importance of pathological situations. In contrast, in archaeology the interest is focused to infer from buried an

21. Influence of Moringa oleifera derivates in blends of PBAT/PLA with LDPE
Abstract There are few studies about Moringa oleifera derivates in polymer developments where vegetable oil was used as a plasticizer and a biodegrading agent. The polymerization of moringa oil (MO) was carried out assisted by microwaves without catalysts presence. There aren’t studies about the polymerization of MO using microwaves technology. Moringa’

22. Anaerobic biodegradation of benzo(a)pyrene by a novel Cellulosimicrobium cellulans CWS2 isolated from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-contaminated soil
Abstract Cellulosimicrobium cellulans CWS2, a novel strain capable of utilizing benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) as the sole carbon and energy source under nitrate-reducing conditions, was isolated from PAH-contaminated soil. Temperature and pH significantly affected BaP biodegradation, and the strain exhibited enhanced biodegradation ability at temperatures above 30 °

23. Biodegradation of Poly (3-hydroxybutyrate) /Eggshellsystems
In this work, biocomposites of poly (3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) / calcium carbonate from Rhea Americana eggshells were prepared and the effects of the addition of the inorganic filler in the polymeric matrix were assessed. The residue (powder) of the eggshell calcined at 400 ºC or in natura was inserted into a PHB solution for preparation of films via casting

24. POLÍMERO BIODEGRADÁVEL ANTIMICROBIANO ATRAVÉS DA ADITIVAÇÃO COM COMPOSTOS À BASE DE ZINCO
Antimicrobial packaging is a promising type of active packaging, which has an antimicrobial agent incorporated into the polymer matrix, capable to eliminate or inhibit deteriorating and/or pathogenic microorganisms. The zinc compounds are antimicrobial agents commonly used to confer this feature. The objective of this work was to evaluate the antimicrobial a
