Hire Rafael O.

Brazil

Freelance Chemist & Researcher | Analyst | Expert in Nanotechnology

Profile Summary

My focus of interest is on bioinspired nanostructured biomaterials derived from natural polymers (e.g., hydrogels and nanoparticles). Understanding the processes governing their interactions at varying scales is a prerequisite for elucidating their biological functions. The investigation of the effects induced by these systems at the molecular level enables the development of materials suitable for different applications. At the same time, the fascinating process of self-assembly inherent in these structures, can be used as a blueprint for the rational design of novel materials for food and health.
