This review focuses on the description of the main processes and materials used for the
formulation of rigid polymer foams. Polyurethanes and their derivatives, as well as phenolic …

A simple and rapid synthesis of biobased epoxy resin derived from vanillyl alcohol was
performed, and its chemical structure was confirmed by FTIR and 1H and 13C NMR …

Tree bark contains anti-microbial, antioxidant, and anticancer compounds and are therefore
widely used by pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and food industries as raw materials. Bark …

Efficient bio-based thermal insulation materials are capable of providing a significant
contribution to green building. As natural barrier material, tree bark is potentially suitable for …

It is shown that the isolation of nanocellulose in a biorefinery approach adds value to the
bark and its components. The utilization of a chlorine-free delignification and the preparation …

Pinus radiata is the dominant species of tree in the New Zealand forestry industry, with 38.3
million m 3 of P. radiata trees harvested annually. Bark is removed from these trees when …

This study explored the potential of melamine, as the nitrogenating source for the
cationization of pulverized quebracho and spruce tannins. The influence of modification …

Forestry bark residues are an underutilised resource that could be exploited as a biorefinery
feedstock to produce sustainable platform chemicals. However, variability in bark quality will …

The goal of this study is to investigate the feasibility of bio-oil from empty fruit bunches (EFB)
as bio-based adhesive materials for bamboo plywood using thermochemical liquefaction …

The hybrid aspen tree (Populus tremula L.× P. tremuloides Michx.) is a fast-growing tree
species with the potential to produce biomass in an enhanced manner for industrial needs …
