Efficient Solketal Synthesis via Acetalization Using Sulfonated Carbon From Lavender Leaf Waste After Essential Oil Extraction

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 8, August 2026.
Sulfonated carbon catalysts were synthesized from lavender leaf waste after essential oil extraction via hydrothermal carbonization (HTC). Under mild, low‐energy conditions, the catalyst achieved 97% glycerol conversion and 98% solketal selectivity. This approach valorizes agricultural residues and crude glycerol from biodiesel production, contributing

Ex Vivo Evaluation of Poly(Solketal Acrylate) Nanoparticles for Intravitreal Drug Delivery to the Posterior Eye Segment

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 47, Issue 14, 20 July 2026.
Nile Red‐loaded poly(solketal acrylate) nanoparticles enable fluorescence tracking and exhibit nontoxic profiles in retinal cells. Enhanced cellular uptake and deep retinal penetration after intravitreal injection highlight their excellent potential for targeted ocular drug delivery to the posterior segment of the eye.

Glycerol Valorization to High‐Value Chemicals: Chemical and Biocatalytic Routes With Emphasis on Enzyme Immobilization and Laccase/TEMPO Systems: A Review

open access: yesChemNanoMat, Volume 12, Issue 5, May 2026.
Fossil fuel reserves are rapidly depleting, while global energy demands continue to rise, prompting researchers to seek sustainable alternatives. Among these, biofuels, particularly biodiesel, stand out as a biocompatible and friendly option. However, biodiesel production via transesterification generates large quantities of glycerol (GOL) as a by ...

Theoretical and Experimental Investigations of Acetal Formation During the Oxidation of Xylose to Formic Acid Catalysed by H5PV2Mo10O40 in Methanolic‐Aqueous Solution

open access: yesChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 5, 13 March 2026.
The substrate‐solvent interactions play a major role in the modified OxFA process. Herein, the formation and stability of several reaction intermediates via acetalization depending on solvent composition and reaction conditions is investigated. The BioValCat (Enhanced Biomass Valorization by Engineering of Polyoxometalate Catalysts) project aims at ...

Fatty acids and glycerides are object recognition and carrying cues for foraging Camponotus modoc carpenter ants

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 29-39, March 2026.
Colour‐coded perlites were treated with specific fatty acids or mono‐, di‐ or triglycerides as perlite pickup cues for laboratory and field colonies of western carpenter ants. In laboratory and field experiments, ant colonies were offered multiple choices of these colour‐coded lipid‐treated perlites for pickup and transport to the nest.
