Market potential of biobased chemicals: a qualitative network analysis of adoption dynamics in South Africa’s bioeconomy

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 20, Issue 2, Page 854-878, March/April 2026.
Abstract The premise of a bioeconomy is the replacement of nonrenewable and unsustainable fossil‐derived resources and associated technologies with more sustainable alternatives. The adoption of biobased chemicals contributes toward the growth of a bioeconomy and is dependent on market and industry requirements.

LipoGels: Robust Self‐Lubricating Physically Cross‐Linked Alginate Hydrogels Embedded with Liposomes

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 7, 22 January 2026.
Physically cross‐linked alginate hydrogels embedded with 1,2‐dipalmitoyl‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phosphocholine liposomes (LipoGels) are prepared under optimized conditions to avoid shrinkage and achieve structural uniformity. LipoGels demonstrate robust mechanical strength (Young's modulus ≈1 MPa), excellent lubrication (friction coefficient ≈0.021), and ...

Neem oil (Azadirachta indica) as a promising feedstock for biolubricant production: enzymatic synthesis, process optimization, and molecular studies

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 20, Issue 1, Page 237-252, January/February 2026.
Abstract The fuel industry remains closely tied to oil‐based fuels. This relationship is responsible for increasing greenhouse gas emissions. Biofuels are an alternative to petroleum‐based fuels that could make industrial production lines more sustainable.

Temperature Dependence on The Synthesis of Jatropha Biolubricant [PDF]

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2011
Jatropha oil has good potential as the renewable energy as well as lubricant feedstock. The synthesis of jatropha biolubricant was performed by transesterification of jatropha methyl ester (JME) with trimethyl-ol-propane (TMP) with sodium methoxide (NaOCH3) catalyst.
