Enhancing Mechanical and Physical Properties of Jute/JUCO/Glass Fiber Hybrid Composites Through TiO2 and CuO Microparticle Reinforcement

open access: yesSPE Polymers, Volume 7, Issue 3, July 2026.
Symmetrical Jute/JUCO/Glass hybrid epoxy composites were reinforced with TiO2 and CuO microparticles. Incorporating 3 wt.% CuO increased tensile strength by up to 63.7%, while 3 wt.% TiO2 maximized flexural and impact properties alongside superior moisture resistance, demonstrating that these fillers significantly enhance natural fiber biocomposites ...

Succession and Carbon Source Utilization of Fungi Associated With Hylocomium splendens on a Subalpine Forest Floor

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 41, Issue 4, July 2026.
The present study examined the succession and carbon source utilization of fungi associated with moss profiles and to identify the metabolic traits that were linked to the successional status. We showed that the successional status of microfungi in decomposing tissues of Hylocomium splendens was affected not by the taxonomic group but by the potential ...

Tuning Xylan Polymerisation Enhanced Fibre Digestibility Without Biomass Loss in Sheepgrass (Leymus chinensis)

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, Page 4484-4486, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Leymus chinensis (sheepgrass), a dominant perennial grass of the Eurasian Steppe, is a crucial source of carbohydrates and energy for ruminants. However, the lignocellulose recalcitrance severely limits its digestibility. Here, we targeted xylan, a major hemicellulose interacting with cellulose and lignin in cell wall. To improve digestibility,

Catalytic Conversion of 5‐(Chloromethyl)furfural in Water to 1‐Hydroxyhexane‐2,5‐Dione, α‐Angelica Lactone, and γ‐Valerolactone

open access: yesChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 11, 15 June 2026.
Renewable 5‐chloromethylfurfural (CMF), a more stable analog of HMF, was converted to 1‐hydroxy‐2,5‐hexanedione (HHD), a versatile intermediate toward cyclopentenones, pyrroles and aromatic compounds, via a cascade hydrolysis/hydrogenation reaction. α‐Angelicalactone was obtained as a side product. It was also possible to convert CMF to γ‐valerolactone,

Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 11, 3 June 2026.
Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting

All You Can Eat Yeast: Substituting Hexose Transporters With AtSWEET7 Alleviates Glucose Repression, Enabling Simultaneous Utilization of Sugars in Renewable Feedstocks

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 123, Issue 6, Page 1518-1530, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Yeast sugar transporters have highly evolved for preferential glucose transport, a significant roadblock for utilizing non‐glucose sugars in renewable feedstocks such as lignocellulosic biomass. To enable simultaneous transport of multiple sugars, native hexose transporters were replaced by SWEET7p from Arabidopsis thaliana in engineered ...
