Abstract Phase change materials (PCMs) are a class of thermo‐responsive that can be utilized to trigger phase transition which gives them thermal energy storage capacity. Any material with high heat fusion is referred as PCM able provide cutting‐edge storage. PCMs commercially used in many applications like textile industry, coating, and cold typically for control. These intriguing substances have recently been rediscovered employed broad range life science applications, including...

2,3-Dialdehyde cellulose (DAC) of a high degree oxidation (92% relative to AGU units) prepared by microcrystalline with sodium periodate (48 °C, 19 h) is soluble in hot water. Solution casting, slow air drying, pressing, and reinforcement nanocrystals afforded films (∼100 μm thickness) that feature intriguing properties: they have very smooth surfaces (SEM), are highly flexible, good light transmittance for both the visible near-infrared range (89–91%), tensile strength (81–122 MPa), modulus...

Aerogels are nanostructured materials with low density, high surface area (>150 m2/g) and open porosity (typically 95–99.99 %). They obtained by solvent removal from gels while preserving network structure. Hydrogels, organogels even tissues can be optimal sources of aerogels limitless customization format texture. might used for a range advanced food applications: smart ingredients controlling nutrient release to delivery systems active compounds; fat substitutes novel biodegradable...

Fungal mycelia are versatile, highly productive and sustainable sources for biocomposites to replace conventional plastics. However, with only very few fungal strains that have been characterized, numerous still remain unexplored as potential competitors against traditional non-biodegradable materials. Moreover, the functionality of mycelium composites at commonly occurring, challenging ambient conditions such changing humidity temperature is not well characterized. Here we evaluated...

The production of lignin nanoparticles (LNPs) has emerged as a way to overcome the highly variable and complex molecular structure lignin. It can offer morphological control polymer, allowing formation stable LNP dispersions in aqueous media, while increasing potential for high-value applications. However, polydispersity morphology LNPs varies depending on grade preparation method, systematic comparison using different technical lignins is lacking. In this study, it was attempted find green...

Adsorption is a relatively simple wastewater treatment method that has the potential to mitigate impacts of pharmaceutical pollution.

Films were prepared from guar gum and locust bean galactomannans. In addition, enzymatic modification was applied to obtain structurally different Cohesive flexible films formed galactomannans plasticized with 20−60% (w/w of polymer) glycerol or sorbitol. Galactomannans lower galactose content (locust gum, modified gum) produced higher elongation at break tensile strength. The mechanical properties improved statistically significantly by decreasing the degree polymerization mannanase...

Wood cellulose, lignin, and hemicelluloses are abundant bioresources that can be valorized as sustainable emulsion stabilizers. The lignocellulose-derived stabilizers may act surface-active compounds, Pickering particles, or viscosity enhancers.

While the world population is steadily increasing, capacity of Earth to renew its resources continuously declining. Consequently, bioresources required for food production are diminishing and new approaches needed feed current future global population. In last decades, scientists have developed novel strategies reduce loss waste, improve production, find ingredients, design build structures, introduce digitalization in system. this work, we provide a general overview on circular economy,...
