State-of-the-art review on the use of lignocellulosic biomass in cementitious materials
Sustainable Structures, 2023 The lignocellulosic biomass wastes cause some burden on the environment; meanwhile, the concrete industry is faced with large amounts of carbon dioxide emissions and raw mineral materials consumption.

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.We disclose a novel boron macrocycle derived from the sustainable furan building block. The boraporphyrinoid exhibits a global antiaromatic ring current and dynamic conformational flexibility. Twofold reduction induces a switch to strong global aromaticity, accompanied by stiffening of the porphyrinoid backbone.

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Methyl substitution positions on the nylon‐6 backbone markedly affect crystallizability, thermomechanical properties, and recyclability of the resulting atactic nylon‐6 variants. While γ‐methyl substitution gives an amorphous nylon, all other four methyl‐substitution positions (α, β, δ, and ε) afford, unexpectedly, crystalline nylons, showing tacticity‐

Pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass [PDF]
, 2015 Limitations and exhaustions of energy sources (e.g. fossil fuels) have resulted in taking major steps in sustainable plans for rational using of resources that exist today and finding new, alternative energy resources. Biomass is renewable energy resource which can be grown where climatic conditions are appropriate. Bio-oil as one of the major products

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This study develops sustainable MgO–C refractories using recycled materials and eco‐friendly fructose–tannin binders. The enhanced performance of citric acid as a cross‐linker and functional additives on mechanical and thermomechanical properties was examined. Characterization included strength tests, immersion trials, and microstructural and inclusion
