Summary
This, combined with the associated environmental issues around global warming and environmental pollution, has resulted in a drive for scientific research to alleviate the dependence of society on chemical compound/polymer derived from fossil fuels. The biomass (such as cellulose and lignin) of carbohydrates are rich in hydroxyl makes it through the hydrothermal catalytic hydrogenation, dehydration and oxidation etc directly into polyols, lactic acid and 5 - HMF important ideal oxygen chemical raw material. Cellulose, sugar, starch, natural fiber and vegetable oil in these renewable resources have been used as green monomers or intermediates for polymer preparation and polymer materials. Moreover, the development and application of these renewable biomass as a platform for preparing of green chemistry will improve their utilization, contribute to the protection of the environment and reduce dependence on petrochemical products.
This topic will focus on the application and preparation of green chemistry from renewable biomass, such as process path and method of biomass conversion to fuel oil and chemicals, the latest progress of the preparation, characterization and performance of polymer materials from biomass. This special issue offers a series of reviews, original research and opinion articles focusing on laboratory and industrial-scale solutions for the green and sustainable conversion of biomass into high value-added chemicals or polymer materials.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
• Environmentally friendly catalysis;
• Biomass conversion;
• Bio-based copolymers, bio-based blends, bio-based modification etc for polymer preparation;
• Green chemistry in synthesis of functional polymers.
Keywords
