The drive to upgrade the system capacity for renewable electricity, coupled with relieving our
reliance on the finite fossil resources, prompts the exploration for economically competitive …

Surfactants, a group of amphiphilic molecules (ie with hydrophobic (water insoluble) as well
as hydrophilic (water soluble) properties) can modulate interfacial tension. Currently, the …

This study focuses on develo** a surfactant-treated nanofluid (nanosurfactant), a green
and sustainable solution, for improving oil recovery from carbonate reservoirs. The natural …

This paper reviews the literature on various natural and synthetic biosurfactants, which can
facilitate the process of foam formation and stabilisation. Biosurfactants are an alternative to …

The introduction of new green commodity chemicals is strongly dependent on develo**
new biobased building blocks from biomass that could allow a versatile molecular design to …

Surfactants from renewable sources have gained attention due to their potential as
substituents for petroleum-based chemicals. In this sense, surfactants based on cardanol, a …

There has been an explosive growth in environmentally driven startups in recent years.
Much of this has included university spin-outs aiming to translate academic research into …

Aromatic functionality is an important feature for the design of new molecules with specific
properties. Today fossil fuel feedstocks provide aryl building blocks with well-known …

The valorization of sugars and cellulose into high value-added compounds represents a
promising alternative to petrochemical processes to produce biobased chemicals. This …

Despite early promises, Furfural failed to become a major chemical intermediate as it could
not compete with cheap and abundant petrochemicals. But recent societal pressures to …
