The remnants of the açaí agribusiness (Euterpe Oleracea Mart) are sources of lignocellulosic materials. The extraction of nanocellulose from the açaí integument constitutes viable raw material for the synthesis of biphasic ceramics (HA / β-TCP) by acid hydrolysis. After the fruit pulp is obtained a biomass that is divided into three fractions: sludge (parenchyma), fiber (monostelo) and endocarp. The integument is analyzed by MEV / EDS, through the endocarp of açaí of terra firme and of várzea presenting essential nutrients, to obtain ceramics of phosphates of calcium. The biocomposite (NC / HA / β-TCP) was characterized by MEV, presenting crystalline species on the surface of the nanocellulose; X-ray diffraction presenting HA nucleation attributed to type I cellulose and tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) on the surface of cellulose type II; showing the growth of HA crystals on the surface of the nanocellulose. The FTIR analysis showed characteristic peaks of PO4-3, C1-H glycosidic deformation at 897 cm -1 attributed to cellulose, strong C-C conjugate binding at 1609 cm -1 attributed to lignin showing a decrease in content during the process. The results of particle size are in the nanometric dimension showing 643.50 nm as the most common value related to the results of the zeta potential presenting unstable particles producing particles aggregation and stable particles with modulus value greater than 20 mV. Due to the characteristics presented by the biphasic ceramic synthesized in this work it is suggested its application as biomaterial.
