TL;DR: In this paper, the progress of bio-oil as the feedstock for the use as boiler, heavy-duty engine fuel, or for the production biofuel, hydrogen, chemicals, carbonaceous materials, binder for electrode and asphalt, pesticide and fertilizer, polyurethane foam and plastics.
Abstract: Bio-oil is considered a renewable feedstock for the production of energy, fuels, chemicals and carbon materials. These specifically include the direct combustion of bio-oil as a boiler fuel, the production of biofuel from bio-oil via hydrotreatment, or the production of value-added chemicals via separation and acid-catalysis/hydrogenation or the conversion of bio-oil to carbon materials via polymerisation/cracking. So far, considerable efforts have been made to develop feasible method for utilizing bio-oil. However, it remains a challenge to find a suitable outlet for the commercial application of bio-oil. The conversion of bio-oil into the useful products has been the focus of numerous studies. Therefore, the review of the progress of this area is of importance for providing the necessary information for assessing the feasibility of the varied process for the application of bio-oil in a comparative manner. This work reviewed the progress of bio-oil as the feedstock for the use as boiler, heavy-duty engine fuel, or the use as the feedstock for the production biofuel, hydrogen, chemicals, carbonaceous materials, binder for electrode and asphalt, pesticide and fertilizer, polyurethane foam and plastics. In addition, the major issues associated with the application of bio-oil as well as the techno-economic aspects of each application were analysed as well. Suggestions were given for the future developments in each application. The analysis indicated that majority of these technologies are mainly in the initial stages of developments. Either cost or the technical issues are the major barrier for the commercial application of bio-oil in large scale.

TL;DR: It was hypothesized that the use of Tinuvin 1130, as an organic UV absorber in the epoxy-amine system, could decrease the undesirable effects, arising from exposure to UV light.
Abstract: Despite several excellent properties including low shrinkage, good chemical resistance, curable at low temperatures and the absence of byproducts or volatiles, epoxy resins are susceptible to ultra violet (UV) damage and their durability is reduced substantially when exposed to outdoor environments. To overcome this drawback, UV absorbers have been usually used to decrease the rate of UV degradation. In this present study, the effects of UV light on the chemical, mechanical and physical properties of cured epoxy structure, as well as the effect of an organic UV absorber, Tinuvin 1130, on the epoxy properties were investigated. Chemical changes in a cured epoxy system as a result of the presence and absence of Tinuvin 1130 were determined using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analyses. The effect of Tinuvin 1130 on the surface morphology of the epoxy systems was also investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging. Additionally, the glass transition temperatures (Tg) before and during UV radiation were measured. After an 800 h UV radiation, mechanical test results revealed that the lack of the UV absorber can lead to a ~30% reduction in tensile strength. However, in the presence of Tinuvin 1130, the tensile strength was reduced only by ~11%. It was hypothesized that the use of Tinuvin 1130, as an organic UV absorber in the epoxy-amine system, could decrease the undesirable effects, arising from exposure to UV light.
