Polymers derived from hemicellulosic parts of lignocellulosic biomass
TL;DR: In this article, a review of potentially relevant methods for producing important chemicals from furfural, which are used as monomers for different polymers, and for the polymerization of furfur and its derivatives (e.g., furfuryl alcohol), have been discussed.

Optimization of biological pretreatment to enhance the quality of wheat straw pellets
TL;DR: In this article, biological pretreatment using solid-state fermentation (SSF) was investigated as a means to improve the quality of pellets produced from wheat straw, and the microscopic structural changes induced by microbial pretreatment were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
Journal ArticleDOI
Post-polymerization modification of bio-based polymers : Maximizing the high functionality of polymers derived from biomass
TL;DR: A recent mini-review highlights some of the most recent and compelling examples of how to make use of bio-based polymers with residual functional groups for post-polymerization modification as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rational engineering of the Trichoderma reesei RUT-C30 strain into an industrially relevant platform for cellulase production.
TL;DR: This work demonstrates the rational steps for the development of a cellulase hyperproducing strain from a well-characterized genetic background available in the public domain, the RUT-C30, associated with an industrially relevant bioprocess, paving new perspectives for Trichoderma research on cellulase production.
