About
Daniella R. Mulinari is a leading researcher in sustainable materials science, with a focus on the development of eco-friendly polymer composites and additive manufacturing. Her work primarily explores the use of natural fibers and bio-based fillers to enhance the mechanical and thermal properties of biodegradable polymers, particularly polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) and poly(lactic acid) (PLA). A standout contribution is her 2021 study on pullulan as a versatile filler in PHA filaments for fused deposition modeling (FDM), which has garnered 13 citations for demonstrating how this polysaccharide can improve printability and material performance, opening new avenues for sustainable 3D printing. With over a decade of research, Mulinari has published extensively on the valorization of agricultural residues—such as sugarcane bagasse and coconut fibers—into high-value composite materials, significantly advancing the circular economy. Her work has been cited hundreds of times, reflecting its impact on both academia and industry. Notably, she has contributed to key innovations in biocomposite processing, earning recognition for bridging the gap between renewable resources and practical engineering applications.
