Nanocrystalline Cellulose from the Solitary Tunicate Phallusia Mammillata, a Valuable Nanocellulose Precursor

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
This study explores the potential of locally harvested Phallusia mammillata, a tunicate usually discarded as waste from mussles farming as a viable source for producing various high‐grade cellulose derivatives in the form of nanofibrils (NFC) and nanocrystals (CNC). Abstract Ascidians are ubiquitous filter‐feeding marine invertebrates, the only animals

Sustainable Flame‐Retardant Poly Lactic Acid Biocomposites Reinforced with Polyphosphate‐Enriched Microalgae: Unlocking the Potential of Hyper‐Compensation

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
This study explores microalgae cultivation for wastewater treatment and enhancement of poly lactic acid (PLA)‐based biocomposites. It achieves up to 99.9% nutrient removal, increases biomass productivity by 322%, and demonstrates a triphasic luxury phosphorus uptake system. Incorporation into PLA improves fire‐retardant properties, suggesting potential

Enhancing the Mechanical Properties of Inherently Brittle, Biobased and Biodegradable Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) Polymer by Cotton Fibre Reinforcement and Interfacial Grafting

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
This study enhances biobassed, biodegradable polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB)s strength and ductility by reinforcing it with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)‐coated cotton fibres and further improving interfacial bonding through maleic anhydride (MA) grafting. In addition to mechanical performance, the approaches significantly improve the gas barrier properties of the

Life Cycle Assessment of Magnesium‐Impregnated Biochar Production and its Application for Nutrient Removal and Soil Improvement in Rice Cultivation

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
This study evaluates the environmental trade‐offs of different rice husk management strategies using a life cycle assessment (LCA) approach. It compares biochar production for water treatment and soil improvement with direct incineration for energy generation.

Microwave‐Assisted One‐Pot Synthesis of Alkyl Levulinates From Post‐Harvest Vegetable Waste

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
Vegetable waste is valorized through Soxhlet extraction using H₂O₂ and heteropolyacid (HPA), followed by material characterization (XRD, FTIR, TGA, DSC). A microwave‐assisted reaction at 170 °C for 30 min with HPA and alcohol yields bio‐based esters.
