Bamboo,\u00a0The Industry of The Future <\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n

Brazil has the largest bamboo biodiversity of the Americas and one of the largest in the world, with more than 230 native bamboo species that have been accompanied the development of human settlement and civilizations since ancient times. Because of its physical and mechanical characteristics, Bamboo can be used as an alternative option for concrete and steel in the construction industry and as raw material for the production of engineered composites.Several research programs have been carried out at the BioSMat Research Center in order to explore bamboo potentials for civil construction. The ongoing studies are focused on the durability and preservative treatment techniques, the use of bamboo for particleboards production and as reinforcement for fiber-cement composites.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Roofing systems and\u00a0shading\u00a0used\u00a0in animal production,\u00a0with an emphasis on\u00a0alternative materials and techniques.
\nCorrelation between\u00a0the microclimate\u00a0created by the rural buildings,\u00a0animal performance\u00a0(physiological, behavioral and\u00a0productivity)\u00a0and economic viability\u00a0of\u00a0animal\u00a0activity.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Fibercement<\/h3>\n<\/td>\n

Utilization of\u00a0agricultural and industrial\u00a0wastes\u00a0for the achievement\u00a0of cost-efficient raw materials, employment\u00a0of unskilled\u00a0labor force, low\u00a0initial investments in the\u00a0production line, waste mitigation and\u00a0their corresponding environmental benefits.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Particleboards<\/h3>\n<\/td>\n

Utilization of\u00a0agro-industrial residues\u00a0(coconut\u00a0husks,\u00a0peanut hulls, sisal and\u00a0sugarcane bagasse, e.g.),\u00a0in the\u00a0manufacturing of particle boards in order to\u00a0add value\u00a0to these materials.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

Ashes and Mineral Additions<\/h3>\n<\/td>\n

Utilization of\u00a0ashes (e.g.,\u00a0those obtained from the controlled burning of sugar cane bagasse,\u00a0rice husks,\u00a0chicken and\u00a0pig bedding)\u00a0and other\u00a0mineral additions for application in\u00a0cementitious materials.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Lightweight Concrete<\/h3>\n<\/td>\n

Evaluation of using\u00a0red ceramic\u00a0and\u00a0industrial waste\u00a0in the production of artificial\u00a0lightweight aggregate\u00a0for application in\u00a0structural concrete.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Ceramic Materials<\/h3>\n<\/td>\n

Synthesis,\u00a0processing and characterization of\u00a0composites and nano-composites of materials\u00a0based on ceramic matrices \u00a0with high\u00a0mechanical strength and wear resistance for use in\u00a0agricultural implements,\u00a0cutting tools\u00a0and biomaterials.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
