1. Reinforcement of Polyester with Renewable Ramie Fibers
Ramie (Boehmeria nivea) fiber is one of several lignocellulosic fibers with superior strength, but the least investigated, particularly as reinforcement in strong, tough polymeric composites. This paper presents mechanical properties for polyester reinforced with aligned ramie fibers up to 30% by volume. It was found that adding 30 vol% of ramie fibers incre

2. HydroPaCe: uma metodologia para análise de inibição cruzada em serino proteases através de centroides de regiões hidrofóbicas
Interfaces of protein-protein interactions contain important information about molecular recognition. This work aims at the discovery of conserved patterns in this region. We believe it is essential to understand how substrates and inhibitors are bound and for predicting molecular binding. When an inhibitor binds to enzymes with different structures, sequenc

3. Evaluation of bond strength and characterization of hybrid layer produced by an experimental adhesive based on hydrophobic methacrylate or dissolved in 10% and 30% ethanol, applied to ethanol-saturated dentin in a longevity study / Avaliação da resisténcia de união e caracterização da camada híbrida formada por adesivos experimentais a base de metacrilato hidrófobo ou solvatado em 10% e 30% de etanol, aplicados sobre dentina saturada com etanol em um estudo de longevi
The longevity of an adhesive interface is affected by the effects of hydrolytic degradation, which is associated with high water content in the dentin tissue. The hybridization of dentin with hydrophobic monomers in a water-free substrate could make the bond strength of these interfaces remain stable for an extended period of time. The aim of this study was

4. Avaliação da qualidade da união resina composta-dentina obtida pelo emprego de materiais/tecnicas que visam minimizar os efeitos da umidade dentinaria sobre a longevidade das restaurações adesivas / Evaluation of the quality of resin/dentin bonds obtained by using techniques/materiais that intent to minimize the effect of dentin wetness on the longevity of adhesive restorations
The general aim of this study was to evaluate materials and techniques that are thought to increase the longevity of adhesive restorations. The specific aims of this study were: 1) to test whether the application of an extra layer of the respective adhesive or the application of a hydrophobic, non-solvated bonding agent would interfere on the permeability of

5. Synthesis and study of photoinduced properties of phenothiazine derivatives on biomimetic systems / Síntese e estudo das propriedades fotoinduzidas de derivados fenotiazínicos em sistemas biomiméticos
The effect of interfaces on photophysical and photochemical properties of methylene blue (MB) and its derivatives was studied in this work, aiming to emploit their potencial as photosensitizers (PS) in photodynamic therapy.The presence of MB in SDS solutions affect the micelle equilibrium decreasing the apparent critical micelle concentration of SDS from 7mm

6. Arquitetura de interfaces funcionais em argilas e adobes
Clay is a widely used and studied material in many scientific areas. It can be called mud and it also can be used in advanced applications such as the pharmaceutical industry composites, special adsorbents etc. Adobe is basically composed of clay and it retains some of its morphological characteristics and functions. It was possible in this work to develop s

7. Development of membrane biosensors and characterization of the interactions between cytochrome c and hybrid bilayer membranes by Surface Plasmon Resonance / Desenvolvimento de biosensores de membranas e caracterização da interação entre citocromo c e bicamadas híbridas por ressonância plasmônica de superfície
The aim of this work was to develop membrane biosensors based on Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) and to apply them to study the interactions between cytochrome c (cyt c) and model membranes. SPR is an optical technique that provides high-sensitivity measurements of refractive index (n), allowing the characterization of the adsorption and desorption of molecu

8. Levantamento e avaliação de critérios para a ampliação de escala da produção de biossurfactantes utilizando melaço como substrato
Biosurfactants are amphiphilic molecules synthesized by microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast or filamented fungi cultivated in various carbon sources among sucrose and hydrocarbons. These molecules are composed by a hydrophilic and hydrophobic part. They operate mostly at interfaces of fluids of different polarities. Because of this characteristic, they ar

9. Interações entre bicamadas lipídicas e interfaces hidrofóbicas / Interactions between lipid bilayers and hydrophobic interfaces
Determinations of surface tension (γ) at the air--water interface, contact angles (Θ), and in and ex-situ ellipsometric mean thickness (d) were used to study the interaction between dioctadecyldimethylammonium bromide (DODAB) small vesicles and spin-coated polystyrene sulfate (PSS) films on silicon wafers. Upon the adition of NaCl (50 mM final conc

10. Recobrimento de superficies de PVC com filmes de Langmuir-Blodgett usando fosfatidiletanolamina
Biomaterials have becoming important in modern medicine. However, their applications are limited by the adverse reactions that occur when the foreign surfaces contact blood. An alternative approach to reduce adverse reactions and to increase the hemocompatibility concerns to the mimicry of biologically inert interfaces,such as the external membrane surfaces

11. Wetting and capillary condensation as means of protein organization in membranes.
Wetting and capillary condensation are thermodynamic phenomena in which the special affinity of interfaces to a thermodynamic phase, relative to the stable bulk phase, leads to the stabilization of a wetting phase at the interfaces. Wetting and capillary condensation are here proposed as mechanisms that in membranes may serve to induce special lipid phases i

12. Atomic composition of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic membrane sides of self-assembled SC3p hydrophobin.
The hydrophobin SC3p of Schizophyllum commune self-assembles into a 10-nm-thick amphipathic membrane at hydrophilic-hydrophobic interfaces. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of the hydrophobic membrane side of SC3p, assembled in vitro, showed an atomic composition similar to the calculated composition of SC3p when glycosylation was taken into account. The ato
