25. Properties of films obtained from biopolymers of different origins for skin lesions therapy
In this study, the effects of the origin of xanthan used, in combination with chitosan, to prepare films for the treatment of skin lesions were evaluated. The characteristics of the films obtained with xanthan commercially available for the food industry sector and xanthan originated from a fermentation process conducted in a pilot plant were compared.

26. Environmental Stress Cracking of Poly(3-hydroxibutyrate) Under Contact with Sodium Hydroxide
Environmental stress cracking (ESC) is one of the most important causes of polymer premature failure, occurring when a combination of mechanical load and an aggressive fluid is applied. The phenomenon is well know by polymer producers and product designers but its mechanisms are not very well understood. Although the ESC effects of many commercial polymers a

27. Humic fractions of forest, pasture and maize crop soils resulting from microbial activity
Humic substances result from the degradation of biopolymers of organic residues in the soil due to microbial activity. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of three different ecosystems: forest, pasture and maize crop on the formation of soil humic substances relating to their biological and chemical attributes. Microbial biomass carbon

28. Nanocompósito de polpa de mamão e nanopartículas de quitosana para aplicação em embalagens
Nanocomposite materials have been incorporated into biopolymers, (e.g. hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), to improve their physical and chemical properties and enable them to be applied in food packaging, especially for their biodegradable and renewable properties. With this addition, fruit puree has been incorporated into the films to confer nutritional proper

30. High performance maleated lignocellulose epicarp fibers for copper ion removal
Natural lignocellulosic fiber epicarp extracted from the babassu coconut (Orbignya speciosa) was chemically modified through reaction with molten maleic anhydride without solvent, with incorporation of 189.34 mg g-1 of carboxylic acid groups into the biopolymer structure. The success of this reaction was also confirmed by the presence of carboxylic acid band

31. Chitosan microspheres applied for removal of oil from produced water in the oil industry
The discharge of oily wastewaters in the environment is steadily increasing, causing serious damages. Among various treatment methods, adsorption is generally considered the most appropriate, since it can remove both organic and inorganic pollutants. Adsorption using low-cost alternative biopolymers for removal of contaminants from wastewater has been widely

32. Analysis of Poly(Lactic-co-Glycolic Acid)/Poly(Isoprene) Polymeric Blend for application as biomaterial
The application of renewable raw materials encourages research in the biopolymers area. The Poly(Lactic-co-Glycolic Acid)/Poly(Isoprene) (PLGA/IR) blend combines biocompatibility for application in the health field with excellent mechanical properties. The blend was obtained by solubilization of polymers in organic solvents. To investigate the polymer thermo

33. Desenvolvimento de filmes à base de proteínas extraídas da torta de mamona (Ricinus communis L.) reticuladas com glutaraldeído e glioxal / Development of films based on proteins extracted from the castor bean cake (Ricinus communis L.) crosslinked with glutaraldehyde and glyoxal
O processo de extração do óleo de mamona gera, como subproduto, uma torta rica em proteínas, que tem sido utilizada como adubo e contra fitonematóide, devido à sua toxicidade. Entretanto, as proteínas da torta de mamona são ricas em aminoácidos que permitem modificação química com aldeídos bifuncionais, como o glutaraldeído e o glioxal, o que p

34. Blendas e filmes de quitosana/amido de milho: estudo da influência da adição de polióis, oxidação do amido e razão amilose/amilopectina nas suas propriedades / Chitosan/corn starch blends and films. Influence of polyol addition, starch oxidation and amylose/amylopectin ratio in their properties
Chitosan/starch association represents an interesting alternative to the preparation of biocompatible drug delivery systems, packing materials and edible films. Changes in rheological, thermal and mechanical properties, water vapor permeability and solubility of chitosan/starch films were evaluated varying the starch structure form (gelatinized or oxidized),

35. Síntese e caracterização de copolímeros do tipo ABA para encapsulação de hemoglobina bovina
The use of biopolymers for the development of oxygen carriers has been extensively investigated. In this work, three different ABA triblock copolymers were synthesized and used to encapsulate purified bovine hemoglobin, using a double emulsion technique. The effect of polymer composition, homogenization velocity, and addition of a surfactant, on the protein

36. Rheological and thermal characteristics of wheat gluten biopolymers plasticized with glycerol
The objective this work was to obtain bioplastics from mixtures of wheat gluten and glycerol by two different processes and evaluate their respective rheological properties. The mixtures and their respective bioplastics were obtained through direct batch mixing under approximately adiabatic and isothermal conditions. The bioplastics showed high values for th
