Summary
Fluctuating petroleum prices and their depletion in near the future have forced the world to investigate opportunities for substituting petroleum resources with environment-friendly forest product chemistry. They are to provide a potential alternative to petroleum-based materials that should be eco-friendly, economically feasible and non-toxic. For example, the extraction of natural products, functional utilization of epoxy soybean oil, and rosin molecular orientation design are all effective directional uses of green chemistry and have been used as green monomers or intermediates for polymer preparation, green biomedicine and polymer materials.
This topic will focus on the application and preparation of forest product chemistry, such as process path and method of biomass conversion to chemicals, the latest progress of multifunctional and comprehensive bio-based forest product chemistry.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
• Biomass conversion;
• Bio-based copolymers;
• Synthesis of functional polymers
• Functional self-assembly materials from biomass
• Green biomedicine
Keywords
sustainable conversion; forest product chemistry; green materials; green biomedicine
