Abstract: Using an extension of the Kontsevich integral to tangles in handlebodies similar to a construction given by Andersen, Mattes and Reshetikhin, we construct a functor $Z:mathcalBowidehatmathbbA$, where $mathcalB$ is the category of bottom tangles in handlebodies and $widehatmathbbA$ is the degree-completion of the category $mathbbA$ of Jacobi diagrams in handlebodies. As a symmetric monoidal linear category, $mathbbA$ is the linear PROP governing "Casimir Hopf algebras", which are cocommutative Hopf algebras equipped with a primitive invariant symmetric 2-tensor. The functor $Z$ induces a canonical isomorphism $hboxgrmathcalBcongmathbbA$, where $hboxgrmathcalB$ is the associated graded of the Vassiliev-Goussarov filtration on $mathcalB$. To each Drinfeld associator $varphi$ we associate a ribbon quasi-Hopf algebra $H_{v}arphi$ in $hboxgrmathcalB$, and we prove that the braided Hopf algebra resulting from $H_{v}arphi$ by "transmutation" is precisely the image by $Z$ of a canonical Hopf algebra in the braided category $mathcalB$. Finally, we explain how $Z$ refines the LMO functor, which is a TQFT-like functor extending the Le-Murakami-Ohtsuki invariant.
