Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biomass materials have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional non-renewable materials due to their environmentally friendly nature and abundance. Biomass-based green materials and chemicals are a new generation of sustainable materials derived from renewable sources, such as agricultural and forestry wastes, energy crops, and algae. These materials have unique properties that make them suitable for a range of applications, including packaging, construction, textiles, and composites. The production of biomass-based green materials and chemicals involves a range of technologies, such as biorefinery, bioenergy, and bioplastics, which require interdisciplinary knowledge and collaboration among various fields, including chemistry, materials science, and engineering.
This special issue aims to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss the latest advancements in biomass-based green materials and chemicals. The topics covered in this issue will include the synthesis, characterization, and properties of biomass-based materials and chemicals, as well as their applications in various fields. We hope that this special issue will contribute to the advancement of sustainable materials and pave the way for a more environmentally friendly future.
