Additives Enhancing Biodegradability in Plastics and Potential Implications for Textiles: A Mechanistic Review

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 35, September 15, 2026.
Mechanistic insights from additive‐assisted plastic degradation guide the design of environmentally adaptive textile fibers. Functional additives enhance oxidative, hydrolytic, enzymatic, and microbial degradation pathways. Translating these strategies requires control of fiber architecture, additive distribution, and environmental interactions ...

EFFECT OF STRUCTURAL CHANGES ON ENZYMATIC HYDROLYSIS OF EUCALYPTUS, SWEET SORGHUM BAGASSE, AND SUGARCANE BAGASSE AFTER LIQUID HOT WATER PRETREATMENT

open access: yes, 2012
A woody (eucalyptus (Eu)) and two herbaceous materials (sweet sorghum bagasse (SSB) and sugarcane bagasse (SCB)) were used to evaluate the effect of liquid hot water (LHW) pretreatment on enzymatic hydrolysis of various lignocelluloses.

A study of ionic liquids for dissolution of sugarcane bagasse [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Over the last decade, Ionic Liquids (ILs) have been used for the dissolution and derivatization of isolated cellulose. This ability of ILs is now sought for their application in the selective dissolution of cellulose from lignocellulosic biomass, for the

Liquid‐phase oxidation of furfural catalyzed by magnetically separable metal oxide nanoparticles deposited on silica gel

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 20, Issue 5, Page 2096-2105, September/October 2026.
Abstract Oxidation of furfural (FF), a bio‐based platform chemical, was investigated using a range of iron‐, vanadium‐ and iron–zinc‐oxalates supported on silica gel (FeVOx@silica and FeZnOx@silica, respectively) as precursor for FeV@silica and FeZn@silica oxide catalysts and H2O2 as a green oxidant.

Thermal behavior of native, washed and steam exploded lignocellulosic biomass samples [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The aim of this study was to evaluate the chemical changes in the main components (cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin) of various lignocellulosic biomass samples during the steam explosion pretreatment. Pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-

An analysis of Australian sugarcane regions for bagasse paper manufacture

open access: yes, 2006
Despite the large quantity of sugarcane grown in Australia, no bagasse is pulped in the country. This is largely because of the established pulp industry based on the abundant native hardwood resources.

Experimental study of Australian sugarcane bagasse pulp permeability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In this experimental study the permeability of Australian bagasse chemical pulps obtained from different bagasse fractions were measured in a simple permeability cell and the results compared to one another as well as to eucalypt, Argentinean bagasse and

Glycerol carbonate as green solvent for pretreatment of sugarcane bagasse [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background\ud Pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass is a prerequisite for effective saccharification to produce fermentable sugars. We have previously reported an effective low temperature (90 °C) process at atmospheric pressure for pretreatment of ...

Harnessing plant‐based platform for low‐cost cellulosic sugar recovery from bioenergy crops

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 20, Issue 5, Page 2106-2121, September/October 2026.
Abstract The price of pure cellulase enzyme for the recovery of fermentable cellulosic sugars is one of the major challenges that limit the commercialization of second‐generation biofuels and bio‐based products. This work shows a means to greatly reduce the cost of cellulases. The abundant capacity of plants to synthesize and hyperaccumulate transgenic
