A new strategy for the efficient conversion of hemicellulose to furfural through a microwave-coupled multi-stage tandem process was proposed by the ...

Study reveals that evolutionary divergence occurred before ecological divergence, enabling these insects to feed on both wood and soil. Future discoveries may be applied to the production of biofuels.

Fraunhofer researchers are developing an adhesive-free sealing technology for paper packaging through the PAPURE project, enabling fully recyclable packaging without plastic coatings or adhesives. The ...

Since plastic packaging accounts for a large fraction of plastic waste, the demand for environmentally friendly packaging ...

Investigating alkali-treated wood, this research uncovers how chemical modifications and anisotropic structure influence transparency and light transmission.

I am a second-year doctoral student at the Department of Bioproducts and Biosystems. I completed my master’s studies through the Erasmus Mundus programme, which took me to study in three countries: ...

ABSTRACT: Waste management after coconut harvesting is a real problem at a national level. Coconut production in Benin increases considerably every year, especially in the coastal and Atlantic ...

This research investigates the chemical composition, thermal stability, and structural characteristics of hemicellulose and LCCs extracted from bamboo green, core, and yellow tissues, revealing key ...

Plant cell walls are complex structures composed mostly of lignocellulose—the most abundant organic material on Earth—which is a matrix of cross-linked polysaccharide networks, glycosylated proteins, ...

Natural resource scarcity, CO 2 emissions, and solid waste generated from the construction industry are major global environmental and developmental challenges, posing threats to the sustainability of ...
