CICECO SPOTLIGHT: Carmen Freire explores biopolymers and bioactive molecules

CICECO SPOTLIGHT is the communication science series of the Aveiro Materials Institute of Aveiro.

Carmen Freire, a coordinating researcher at CICECO, leads a team exploring a wide range of biopolymers and their properties, such as transparency, mechanical strength, electroactivity, antimicrobial, and antioxidant effects. Their goal is to develop innovative, sustainable materials that can replace conventional ones across various fields. These materials include thermoplastics, biocomposites, nanocomposites, fibers, membranes, transparent films, microneedle patches, and hydrogels.
