Porous Poly(ε‐Caprolactone)/Keratin Composite Scaffolds: Structural Features, Degradation Behavior and Cell‐Material Interactions

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Porous scaffolds based on pure poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) and on biocomposite made of PCL and feather‐extracted β‐keratin (FK) were fabricated by salt‐leaching method. FK was incorporated into PCL to address the limited bioactivity and hydrophobic nature of PCL, with the aim of improving cell–material interactions for bone tissue engineering ...

Integrated microanatomy and microstructure of the maxillary tooth plate reveal a reinforced feeding system and tougher diet in Late Triassic Hyperodapedontinae (Rhynchosauria, Archosauromorpha)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Hyperodapedontine rhynchosaurs possessed a unique oral apparatus, long interpreted as an adaptation for processing abrasive and resistant plant material. However, the microanatomical and histological evidence supporting this interpretation remains poorly documented.

Scalable catalyst production process for oleate hydratase whole‐cell biocatalysis

Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
This study establishes a scalable lactose‐induced fed‐batch fermentation for an Escherichia coli whole‐cell biocatalyst containing an oleate hydratase. Operation at a higher growth rate markedly increased biomass yields while maintaining catalyst activity and was demonstrated at 150 L scale.

Advances in Sustainable Production of Bio‐Derived 5‐Alkoxymethylfurfural and Levulinate Esters: A Comprehensive Review

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
The present review discusses the advancement in the catalytic synthesis of 5‐alkoxymethylfurfural (AMF) and levulinate esters (LEs) from the aspects of catalytic systems, reaction mechanisms, product isolation, and techno‐economic analysis, supplying valuable insights toward future sustainable and efficient manufacture of AMF and LEs. ABSTRACT The huge

Bioinspired Design and Synthesis of Polyphenolic Star‐Like and Hyperbranched Polyester Models

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Gallotannin‐inspired star‐like and hyperbranched aromatic polyesters were synthesized from D‐glucose and ABn‐type phenolic acid monomers, such as protocatechuic acid. This bioinspired approach afforded polyphenolic polymeric nanoparticles able to encapsulate hydrophobic dyes, opening new perspectives for biobased encapsulation and delivery systems ...

Improving the Mechanical Properties of Biodegradable Polyhydroxyalkanoates via PHA–PHA Block‐Copolymer Synthesis

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Covalent linkage of a highly crystalline PHBV with a ductile P3HB4HB is shown to produce block copolymers with markedly enhanced extensibility and toughness, outperforming equivalent blends. The results demonstrate that polymer architecture, not composition alone, governs mechanical response, offering a route to biodegradable materials that combine ...

Mechanistic Insights Into Sustainable Catalytic Pyrolysis of Biomass‐Derived Ferulic Acid: The Role of Alumina Regeneration

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Surface‐bound ferulate phenolate complexes undergo styrene‐like polymerization on alumina, yielding a polymeric carbonaceous layer that progressively transforms into polyaromatic carbon domains with concomitant release of aromatic products, while parallel surface‐assisted decarboxylation produces 4‐vinylguaiacol. ABSTRACT A fundamental understanding of
