Insights into post‐polymerisation modification of bio‐based unsaturated itaconate and fumarate polyesters via aza‐michael addition: Understanding the effects of CC isomerisation

TL;DR: It is postulate that undesired formation of mesaconate is responsible for the long reaction times previously reported for itaconate polyester post‐polymerisation modification, and illustrates the pressing need to overcome this issue of C=C isomerisation to enhance post‐ polymerisation modifications of bio‐based unsaturated polyesters.

Catalytic Liquefaction of Humin Substances from Sugar Biorefineries with Pt/C in 2-Propanol

TL;DR: The catalytic liquefaction of humins, the solid byproduct from the conversion of C6 sugars (glucose, fructose) to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and levulinic acid (LA), using a supported Pt/C catalyst in isopropanol (IPA) as the solvent was investigated in this article.

Hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials for ethanol production: a review.

TL;DR: Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation effectively removes glucose, which is an inhibitor to cellulase activity, thus increasing the yield and rate of cellulose hydrolysis, thereby increasing the cost of ethanol production from lignocellulosic materials.
