Reforçar a investigação, o desenvolvimento tecnológico e a inovação.
This research objectives are to investigate relevant physical and
chemical properties of novel and existing organic materials and their
practical applications to sustainable technologies related to renewable
energies and to different areas of industry such as electronics, food,
pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and health sciences.
Accordingly the research objectives are structured in four research
tasks:
1. BIOANTIOX - Bio-based Products for Fighting Oxidative Processes
2. NANODEL - Smart Nanosystems for Controlled Delivery
3. FUNCOAT - Functional Nanocoatings
4. MENERG - Materials for Energy Production, Storage and Transport
aiming at the development of:
i) Biobased antioxidants to be used either as additives or for health
application in the prevention and/or therapy of oxidative stress-related
diseases;
ii) Different nano-structured systems for the loading, transport and
smart delivery of biomolecules;
iii)Functional nanocoatings that will modify the surface of materials
resulting in highly advanced materials with specific functions;
iv) Highly efficient energy production, involving semiconductors
synthesized by organic matter and bio-fuels, as well as developing
transport and storage materials and devices.
The present report accounts for the activities and results obtained in
each individual task
The work plan has been carried out according to the approved
proposal, without deviations.
