This project that integrates the AgroNano Network aims to develop new materials of biological origin - Biodegradable compounds - from renewable sources, using nanotechnology and advanced characterization techniques. In other words, it aims to develop bionanocomposites containing nanoparticles out of agricultural products and by-products, adding value to different supply chains. As a result of this proposal, different products are expected to be obtained: cellulose nanostructures, nanostructured

In recent years, there has been a tremendous advance in the frontier of knowledge in advanced biology. The impacts of this advance can be observed in the areas of molecular and cellular biology, with the mastery of gene engineering techniques, which led to the cloning of animal cells in the early 2000s, unprecedented in Brazil, and more recently to the emergence of new Areas of science, such as nanotechnology, epigenetics and genomics, among others. The project seeks to incorporate these advance
