Sistemas de liberação controlada são formas farmacêuticas que visam aumentar a eficácia terapêutica, a segurança do tratamento e a adesão dos pacientes. Neste contexto, as matrizes poliméricas, que buscam controlar o perfil de liberação de um fármaco, surgem como opção. Assim surge a necessidade de desenvolver e analisar materiais multifuncionais, que apresentem características superiores a dos materiais poliméricos comuns, como os híbridos orgânico-inorgânicos. Esse projeto teve como objetivo analisar a capacidade de incorporação e liberação “in vitro” dos fármacos cloridrato de pramoxina e acetato de dexametasona em sistemas híbridos orgânico-inorgânicos. As amostras foram preparadas utilizando misturas em diferentes proporções de materiais híbridos ureasil-polioxietileno (POE-1900) que possui um caráter altamente hidrofílico e ureasil-polioxipropileno (POP-400) com caráter altamente hidrofóbico. A partir dessas misturas pode-se controlar o balanço hidrofílico/hidrofóbico das matrizes híbridas, permitindo avaliar o comportamento desses sistemas, frente a incorporação de fármacos tanto hidrofílicos, como hidrofóbicos. Os testes de incorporação revelaram a capacidade desses materiais de incorporar os fármacos cloridrato de pramoxina e acetato de dexametasona em concentrações relativamente altas (20% m/m e 3% m/m, respectivamente) se comparado a formulações hoje presentes no mercado. Utilizando as diferentes proporções dos precursores POE-1900 e POP-400 foi possível modular o perfil de liberação dos fármacos, sendo que as amostras com maiores proporções do POP-400 tiveram uma liberação mais retardada, devido hidrofobicidade do material. As amostras contendo a dexametasona (hidrofóbico) apresentaram uma liberação mais lenta, constante e gradual se comparado a pramoxina (hidrofílico).

In this work were studied associations of ZnO with the natural products caffeic and feluric acids. Two preparation methods were used, that is, the sol-gel and a reflux procedure. In the sol-gel method, ZnO is produced by the basics hydrolysis of precursors in the presence of the organic filters (caffeic and feluric acids), which results in 30 nm (or less) ZnO particles with the organic filters (in dissociated form) bonded to the surface of ZnO. In the reflux method, a dispersion of ZnO in a water/ethanol mixture was kept under reflux (50oC/4h) in the presence of the organic acids. The ZnO particles used in the reflux method have a higher diameter than sol-gel ZnO particles, but the prepared associated product ZnO/Organic acids were similar. Despite of the difference in relation to crystallinity between the products, the preparation methods resulted in analogous associations with respect to the interaction of the organic filters with the ZnO surface. The caffeic/ZnO associations presented low photostability, which lead to the degradation of the organic filter. The other associations (feluric acid/ZnO) presented satisfactory results. The FT-IR spectroscopy confirmed the formation of the association, and the nature of the bond formed compared with the Zn-O bond in Zn2+/Felutic acid complexes. The isolated organic and inorganic filters, along with the associations were analyzed by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and Uv-vis spectroscopy. The absorption edges and the critical wavelengths were analyzed and the effects of Zn-O bonds in feluric acid/ZnO associations described as a function of the relative position of the π/π* system of the organic filter. Finally the performance of the hybrid filters were investigated in terms of the absorption of UVA and UVB radiations, with the UVA/UVB ratio, an efficiency parameter largely used in the description of solar filters, sunscreen and suncare products

The concern with the environment preservation has done with that researchers as well as industries invest in the search for materials that come from renewable sources. Natural fibers, because they are ecologically correct and have low cost, have been studied as a possible substitute, even if partial, of synthetic fibers in the development of polymeric composites. In this context, the hybrid composites (natural/synthetic) increase considerably the range of application of natural composites. The auto industry, in its constant quest for good mechanical properties materials which are developed with sustainability, has in composites with hybrid reinforcement a very viable alternative. In the present work, the nature Crown pineapple fibers and nature Crown pineapple fibers treated with alkaline solution were studied in order to evaluate the influence of chemical treatment in its properties. For this techniques were used x-ray diffractometry, Thermogravimetry and Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Composites have been developed using polypropylene, reinforced with pineapple fibers and pineapple fibers hybrids/glass fibres, both with levels of 5 and 10%. These composites were analyzed by Thermogravimetry techniques and tested by traction. The realization of this work indicated that although the chemical treatment did not affect the thermal stability of the fibers, caused an increase in crystallinity index fibers and decreased its hydrophilic. The tests performed on composite indicated that the composites process was suitable because it provided good dispersion of the polymer matrix. The addition of natural fibers from the pineapple's Crown, in a proportion of 10%, provided the greatest increase in modulus of elasticity (27%) when compared to the pure polymer

Currently, due to the highly competitive search among industries are becoming more tools for managing product that provides higher availability and therefore profitability. Maintenance as a strategic sector and of fundamental importance in business, it seeks to maximize availability and available resources, minimizing costs and waste, which directly impacts the company's results. The present work has as main objective the review of contracts for maintenance services for companies contracted by a chemical company in the Paraíba Valley, since most of its maintenance services are outsourced, and raise these contracts which are more critical and higher risk to the company's success, thus creating a tool for decision-making by maintenance managers in the act of seeking renewals or new contracts to provide services. As a result after drawing up a standard procedure for contracting of services and a better structuring of the same, we developed a method for the calculation of the criticality of the contracts and based on these calculations, charts were prepared which showed that the current scenario of maintenance contracts the company studied. Thus it is possible to evaluate the contracts which are most critical to the success or failure of the company studied, and also pave the way for further studies on how this criticality of a contract can affect the relationship, the contractor x contracted

A aterosclerose é uma doença caracterizada pela perda de elasticidade e espessamento da parede arterial, sendo iniciada pelo acúmulo de lípides, células inflamatórias e elementos fibrosos na parede das artérias. Esses elementos, ao longo do tempo, darão origem a placas ateroscleróticas ou ateromas que podem por ventura se romper, ocasionando no extravasamento de seu conteúdo lipídico central. Tal situação promoverá a adesão e a agregação plaquetária com conseqüente formação de trombo. As doenças cardiovasculares (DCVs) são a principal causa de morte no mundo, sendo por isso bastante estudadas. Entre os recursos terapêuticos disponíveis se podem citar os antiagregantes plaquetários. A terapia com antiagregantes plaquetários apresenta alguns inconvenientes, que vão desde a ineficácia terapêutica em alguns indivíduos até efeitos adversos deletérios, como hemorragia e transtornos gastrointestinais. É devido a esses fatores, acrescidos à elevada prevalência dessas doenças, que se busca a síntese de novos antiagregantes plaquetários, mais efetivos e menos tóxicos para a prevenção e o tratamento das DCVs, sendo o ácido acetilsalicílico (AAS) um dos fármacos de primeira escolha para tratamento. Nesse projeto, usando a hibridação como estratégia de modificação molecular, planejou-se compostos derivados do AAS espaçados pela subunidade N-acilhidrazona contendo ainda uma subunidade doadora de óxido nítrico representado pelos furoxanos e benzofuroxanos. Esses híbridos constituem uma alternativa à “resistência” ao AAS por atuarem em diferentes vias bioquímicas potenciais para inibição da agregação plaquetária

O câncer é uma patologia crescente entre a população atual e segundo a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) está entre as principais causa de morte mundialmente. A relevância do perfil epidemiológico dessa doença desperta interesse em desenvolver materiais que forneçam qualidade de diagnóstico e tratamento. Na busca pela qualidade da saúde, o desenvolvimento de materiais que possam liberar fármacos de forma controlada e em um sítio alvo, tem se tornado cada vez mais intensa, pois estes materiais podem diminuir os efeitos colaterais além de aumentar a porcentagem do medicamento em ação direta com o sítio alvo. Neste contexto, materiais poliméricos híbridos orgânico-inorgânicos do tipo ureasil-poliéter que são biocompatíveis, transparentes e flexíveis permitem a incorporação de uma série de compostos, dentre os quais, nanopartículas e fármacos. Com base nestes argumentos, neste trabalho foi desenvolvido dispositivo de liberação controlada de fármacos formado por materiais poliméricos ureasil-poliéter contendo nanopartículas de ZnO dopadas com cobalto. A conjugação destes diferentes materiais teve como objetivo conferir as propriedades individuais de cada componente no mesmo material: o cobalto devido as suas propriedades magnéticas pode guiar o dispositivo de liberação de fármaco até o órgão doente; o ZnO devido às propriedades luminescentes permite monitorar a posição do dispositivo dentro do corpo humano.

In the present work the thermal characteristics of gels and xerogels of Silica/organic hybrids derived from different concentrations of GPTS-TEOS were investigated by thermal analysis (TG, DTA, and DSC). The preparation of gels of the Silica/organic hybrid matrix was held through the sol-gel process, consisting by the hydrolysis of alkoxides GPTS and TEOS in proportion (1:1) and (1:2) that was promoted in acidic conditions under reflux and stirring at 80oC/2h, producing the matrix in the colloidal state (sol). Gels were prepared by addition of NH4OH to the sol, promoting gelation of sol in sealed plastics containers. Part of the gels samples was analyzed by TG, DTS and DSC techniques in order to characterize water loss and degradation of the polymeric “epoxy” groups present in the structure of the silica derived from the GPTS alkoxide. Another set of samples was dried at 80oC/48h to obtain xerogels (dried gels) and analyzed by the same techniques. We obtained the characteristics temperatures of the matrix by the techniques DTA, DSC and TG, under measurements of thermal analysis until 800oC and 600oC in case of DSC. By thermal analysis (TG, DTA, and DSC) the main endothermic events (loss of water, melting, pyrolysis) and exothermic events (burning of the polymer) of the GPTS-TEOS matrix were determined

Hybrid composites combining metal plates and laminates with continuous fiber reinforced polymer, called fiber-metal (CHMF), have been particularly attractive for aerospace applications, due mainly to their high mechanical strength and stiffness associated with low density. These laminates (CHMF) consist of a sandwich structure consisting of layers of polymer composites and metal plates, stacked alternately. This setting allows you to combine the best mechanical performance of polymer composites reinforced with long fibers, to the high toughness of metals. Environmental effects should always be considered in the design of structural components, because these materials in applications are submitted to the effects of moisture in the atmosphere, the large cyclical variations of temperature around 82 ° C to -56 ° C, and high effort mechanical. The specimens of fibermetal composite were prepared at EMBRAER with titanium plates and laminates of carbon fiber/epoxy resin. This study aims to evaluate the effect of different environmental conditions (water immersion, hygrothermal chamber and thermal shock) of laminate hybrid titanium/carbon fiber/epoxy resin. The effects of conditioning were evaluated by interlaminar shear tests - ILSS, tensile, and vibration free
