Recently, many companies and academic laboratories have emerged formulating new materials of biological origin for use in artifacts, in response to a scenario of unsustainability. This work aimed to investigate institutions that developed biomaterials, focusing on those that had real applications. In this sense, through social networks, several representative examples of the theme were found and analyzed from a qualitative perspective. In addition to an analysis of data collected through images and texts published on these platforms, it was also possible to map other data such as geographic origin, reach and engagement of the analyzed institutions. The results indicate that Instagram’s artificial intelligence was valid to suggest different profiles that had to do with the research, such virtual platforms facilitate the perception and faster visualization of these biomaterials, however for a deeper analysis it was not so efficient, although they serve to disseminate and stimulate new initiatives in this context.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
