Abstract:
The overall objective of the project consists of obtaining micro/nanoparticles of covalently crosslinked hydrogels based on polyethylene glycol and aliphatic polyamines (injectable micro/nanogels) having embedded both natural nanozeolites but also of natural bioactive substances in their polymer structure, with potential pharmaceutical applications. These new micro/nanogel composite structures are of great interest as they are aimed at being used as devices for subcutaneous or intravenous injection, ensuring the release of bioactive substances in hard-to-reach areas (by macroscopic hydrogels). The role of natural nanozeolites incorporation is to allow for a much slower and controlled release of the embedded active substances and to improve the viscoelastic features of hydrogels. Nowadays bioactive substances play an important role in the development of controlled release systems in medicinal chemistry for the production of new drugs with fewer side effects. The use of phytoextracts as bioactive substances is a big challenge of the project proposal. These new micro/nanodevices with controlled release will have significant influence, both nationally and internationally on the scientific, social and economic field. The results will be disseminated as follows: three articles published in ISI journals; three scientific communications at international conferences, and patenting of any original aspect.

Abstract:
The importance of the project goal arises from the rapid increase of packaging consumption and resulting waste, most of them being from synthetic polymers which are not biodegradable for hundreds of years. This project aims to replace the petrochemical based packaging materials with polymers derived from renewable biomass feedstock thus reducing the environmental pollution and providing simplified end-of-life disposal. This goal will be achieved through the use of biodegradable polyesters (polylactic acid (PLA), polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs)) and nanosized cellulose fillers (CN) isolated from a cheap source, namely fruit seed shell waste. Exploiting such inexpensive sources like crop waste for CN isolation and high value added products will contribute to solve the emergent problem of increased biomass and will reduce the cost of the new designed polymer nanocomposites. The new concept of “zero-waste” will be also demonstrated in this project. Innovative technological routes will be applied for the design of new advanced and fully renewable CN/biopolymers for packaging industry. Specific melt processing tests will be performed for developing high quality extrusion films and injected parts designated for niche packaging application, for example childcare products.

Abstract:
GREENVET project is a multidisciplinary answer for mastitis treatment in productive ruminants by integrating scientific research from outside discipline, inside the veterinary public health. The solution consists in innovative composites using green chemistry, supramolecular structures and intelligent materials using natural sources for one of the most expensive and health risky disease in livestock production. A final treatment will be developed as product, for internal market but with high export potential. The product consists in an integrated complex system with natural bioactive components (essential oils) as cure for sustaining or alternative to classical antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and cicatrizants with high impact on quality of life: problems of food supplies and quality, health and sustainable resources. GREENVET assumes a consortium (2 unique and large national research institutes, the largest technical university from Romania and the largest producer in Romania for veterinary products) with both experienced and young researchers. The management consist in the classical: planning, organizing and controlling in order to attain a minimum risk for project implementation (specific risk in multidisciplinary research), but is based on latest trend in the field -less graphs and more people- concept, by motivational approach and a proven background history of the collaboration between partners. GREENVET consortium experience in biomedical solutions is focused on the project working plan and provides outputs in terms of experimental models, prototype set, innovative technology, patent claim, dissemination in ISI journals and scientific events, documentation for product registration/or product notification. The budget breakdown and plan is well balanced to the resources to be committed in work complexity and less in time length of the task for people with different skills in multidisciplinary research.

Abstract:
The project entitled “INNOVATIVE POLYESTER/BACTERIAL CELLULOSE COMPOSITES FOR BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING”, acronym POLYBAC focuses on the development of new composite materials based on polyhydroxyalkanoates and bacterial cellulose with biomedical applications.
One major major objective consists in the synthesis and characterization of functionalized naturally-occuring biodegradable polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) and bacterial cellulose (BC) composites for bone tissue repairs.
The second major objective refers to the synthesis and characterization of polyhydroxyalkanoates and bacterial cellulose composite materials for blood vessel engineering.
The development of innovative composite materials for bone pathology is a very interesting and challenge task with interdisciplinary view involving polymer science, organic chemistry, physics, biology and medicine.
These composite materials should be biocompatible with the living tissue and should provide minimum inflammatory or cytotoxic reactions. In vitro and in vivo tests will show the capacity of this material to come into contact with the living tissue inducing or not a toxic or immunologic response at the level of the entire organism.
At industrial scale, we intend to develop plates and sheets by pressing and milling process, tubes by extrusion and various injected parts that meet the essential conditions according to Directive 93/42 EEC concerning medical devices (including European Pharmacopoeia).
