No passado dia 21 de fevereiro, a Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade NOVA de Lisboa recebeu a Grand Final do FCT Entrepreneurship 2025, onde equipas de estudantes apresentaram soluções inovadoras para desafios do mundo real.
"My research focuses on natural polymers, mainly cellulose, and their use in producing biocompatible, renewable liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs). LCEs are unique, responsive materials that reversibly change shape, colour, and adhesive or damping properties when triggered by heat, light, humidity, or strain. LCEs from natural polymers offer innovative, sustainable solutions for soft robotics, biomedical devices, and engineering applications."
A Economia Circular dos Materiais é essencial para o sucesso das transições digital e energética, o European Green Deal e o Desenvolvimento Sustentável, por promover opções mais sustentáveis e duradouras.
