Francisco Alessandro Marinho Rodrigues

Bachelor's degree in Chemistry from the State University of Ceará (2009). Master's degree in Chemistry from the Federal University of Ceará - UFC (2018). PhD student at the Federal University of Ceará (2019 - current). Has experience in Chemistry, with focus on polymers applied to biodegradable and edible films and coatings; polymeric nanomaterials, from biomass, applied in drug delivery systems and reinforcement in biocomposites. In addition, he has experience in natural products chemistry (identification of compounds by mass spectrometry) and polymer characterization techniques, such as thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). He also worked on the synthesis of mesoporous silica-based catalysts for esterification reactions in the synthesis of biolubricants.
