Cellulose Nanofibers

Cellulose nanofibers from plant waste

Transforms plant waste into advanced cellulose nanofibers for sustainable and high-performance materials in the circular bioeconomy. VERDE aims to produce cost-competitive advanced biomaterials with a wide range of applications, from low-volume (cosmetics, electronics, filtration, sensors) to high-volume (packaging, plastic, composites, cement)  that improve product performance as well as environmental footprint.

High-Performance Conductive Nanocomposites Based on CNF/PLA Reinforced by Functionalized Graphene Derivative

This project aims to combine the Brazilian group’s expertise in nanomaterials’ surface engineering and polymer-based nanocomposite with the Spanish group’s expertise in transforming agricultural and industrial waste (which is abundant in both Spain and Brazil) into valued natural source polymers, to incorporate the intrinsic properties of sustainable materials into nanocomposites for advanced applications.
