This work addresses the synthesis of carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) by up-cycling common
solid wastes. These feedstocks could supersede the use of costly and often toxic or highly …

Nanomaterials (CNMs) have extraordinary mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties,
which provide a wide range of potential applications. However, the high cost to produce …

Currently, more than 12 million units of PET bottles are produced in Brazil per day. The post-
consumer PET bottles correspond to about 1.0% of the production of urban solid wastes. In …

Atualmente, são produzidas no Brasil mais de 12 milhões de unidades de garrafas PET por
dia. As garrafas PET pós-consumo correspondem a cerca de 1, 0% da produção dos …

Climate change and generation of solid wastes are among the most pressing challenges of
the 21st century. Concerns about the environmental impact of greenhouse gas emissions …

This research dealt with the generation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) using low density
recycled polyethylene (LDPE) as feedstock. The polymer was pyrolyzed in inert …

Polymers have important and widespread applications in modern materials due to their
excellent formability, chemical stability, light weight and low cost. Their production has …

O látex tem sido aplicado em diversos produtos, desde material hospitalar a balões de
festas, acarretando em um grande volume de resíduos deste polímero. Neste trabalho foi …
