Drivers of tropical rainforest biomass in Papua New Guinea: large trees and taxonomic diversity dominate over other drivers

Oikos, EarlyView.
Tropical forests are among the most diverse and productive ecosystems globally, with aboveground biomass (AGB) storing a substantial portion of terrestrial carbon. While biodiversity, composition, and forest structure have been shown to affect AGB, their relative roles, interactions, and direct and indirect effects, with consideration of tree‐size ...

Spent Artemisia arborescens as a Biowaste Filler for Melt‐Processed PBSA Biocomposites With Enhanced Disintegration and Aerobic Biodegradation

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Spent Artemisia arborescens biomass, recovered after essential‐oil steam distillation, was ground and melt‐compounded with PBSA (10 and 20 wt%), yielding biocomposites with accelerated biodegradation. ABSTRACT Artemisia arborescens is a Mediterranean shrub widely used for essential oil production, generating significant amounts of spent biomass after ...

Influence of crosslinker on the properties of terpene‐based poly(high internal phase emulsion)s

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Myrcene was polymerized and crosslinked with hydrophilic monomeric and oligomeric dimethacrylates within high internal phase emulsions to produce hierarchically porous bio‐based poly(high internal phase emulsion)s with tuned morphology and mechanical properties.

Leucaena Oil Functionalized With Osmium Tetroxide as a Precursor for Polyol‐Based Polyurethane

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Leucaena leucocephala seed oil is converted into a hydroxyl‐functional biopolyol through OsO4‐mediated dihydroxylation. The resulting biopolyol shows a hydroxyl number of 160–175 mg KOH g−1 and is successfully used to produce flexible, open‐cell polyurethane foams, highlighting a renewable route for converting underutilized biomass into value‐added ...
