The highly efficient utilization of bioresources and natural organic wastes has attracted great attention, due to the high-speed consumption shortage energy in modern society. Aerogels, attributable their outstanding properties potential applications diverse fields, have been a major topic innovative materials research last decades. While previously scientific community mainly focused on inorganic- plastic-based aerogels, recent years witnessed growing interest biomass-based counterparts. In fact, numerous studies fabrication, modification, cellulose, polysaccharide, protein, peptide, other bio-derived aerogels widely reported. this review, we focus advances field. analysis that perform ranges from structural design routes for functional tailoring, encompasses resource-efficient applications; aim is provide comprehensive review based robust available data. fabrication techniques, structure are introduced, together with chemical, mechanical, electrical, optical, biological properties. addition, design, demonstrated. Furthermore, enrich actual literature state-of-the-art broad sustainability analysis, compares most studied inorganic/plastic-based To end, comparison by footprint which accounts 12 parameters environmental, social, techno-economic impacts. This will guide readers understanding adjustment, through comprehensively presenting sustainable fields as biomedical engineering, materials, nanodevices, chemical environmental science.

For each kilogram of food protein wasted, between 15 and 750 kg CO2 end up in the atmosphere. With this alarming carbon footprint, waste not only contributes to climate change but also significantly impacts other environmental boundaries, such as nitrogen phosphorus cycles, global freshwater use, land composition, chemical pollution, biodiversity loss. This contrasts sharply with both high nutritional value proteins, well their unique physical versatility, which enable use new materials innovative technologies. In review, we discuss how can be efficiently valorized by reintroduction into chain supply a template for development sustainable technologies allowing it exit food-value chain, thus alleviating some most urgent challenges. We showcase three immediate significance impact: biodegradable plastics, water purification, renewable energy. discuss, carefully reviewing current state art, proteins extracted from key players facilitate these furthermore support analysis extant literature original life cycle assessment (LCA) examples run ad hoc on plant animal context considered, against realistic benchmarks, quantitatively demonstrate efficacy potential. finally conclude review an outlook comprehensive management is anticipated transform its footprint positive negative and, more generally, have favorable impact several important planetary boundaries.

The interaction between gas flow and liquid flow, governed by fluid dynamic principles, is of substantial importance in both fundamental science practical applications. For instance, a precisely designed shearing on solution may lead to efficacious production advanced nanomaterials. Here, we devised needleless Kármán vortex blow spinning system that uses roll-to-roll nylon thread deliver solution, coupled with vertically blowing airflow draw high-quality nanofibers large throughput. A wide variety including polymers, carbon, ceramics, composites tunable diameters were fabricated at ultrahigh rates. can be further upgraded from single multiple parallel threads the meshes, boosting kilogram scale without compromising their quality.

Amyloid functional materials from amyloid fibril building blocks, produced in vitro amyloidogenic natural proteins or synthetic peptides, show diverse functionalities ranging environmental science and biomedicine, to nanotechnology biomaterials. However, sustainable affordable sources of remain the bottleneck for large-scale applications, date, interest remains essentially limited fundamental studies. Plant-derived would be an ideal source due their abundance low impact. Hereby oat globulin, primary protein plant (Avena sativa), is utilized yield high-quality fibrils based thereof. These a rich multistranded ribbon-like polymorphism fibrillization process with both irreversible reversible pathways. The authors furthermore fabricate oat-amyloid aerogels, films, membranes possible use water purification, sensors, patterned electrodes. sustainability footprint oat-amyloids against other demonstrated, anticipating environmentally-efficient platform advanced technologies.

Abstract The emerging applications of hydrogel materials at different length scales, in areas ranging from sustainability to health, have driven the progress design and manufacturing microgels. Microgels can provide miniaturized, monodisperse, regulatable compartments, which be spatially separated or interconnected. These microscopic novel opportunities for generating biomimetic cell culture environments are thus key advances modern biomedical research. evolution physical chemical properties has, furthermore, highlighted potentials microgels context science bioengineering. This review describes recent research fabrication, characterization, generated biomolecular building blocks.
