Abstract
Monitoring extracellular calcium ion (Ca2+) chemical signals in neurons is crucial for tracking physiological and pathological changes associated with brain diseases in live animals. Potentiometry based solid-state ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) with the assist of functional carbon nanomaterials as ideal solid-contact layer could realize the potential response for in vitro and in vivo analysis. Herein, we employ a kind of biomass derived porous carbon as a transducing layer to prompt efficient ion to electron transduction while stabilizes the potential drift. The eco-friendly porous carbon after activation (APB) displays a high specific area with inherit macropores, micropores, and large specific capacitance. When employed as transducer in ISEs, a stable potential response, minimized potential drift can be obtained. Benefiting from these excellent properties, a solid-state Ca2+ selective carbon fiber electrodes (CFEs) with a sandwich structure is constructed and employed for real time sensing of Ca2+ under electrical stimulation. This study presents a new approach to develop sustainable and versatile transducers in solid-state ISEs, a crucial way for in vivo sensing.

Abstract
The valorization of humins side streams from bio-refineries holds significant economic and sustainability potential. One plausible strategy involves using them as building blocks to create new materials. However, humins pose conceptual challenges in their natural state due to their high viscosity, processing difficulties, and temperature sensitivity. This article presents a synthetic strategy for modifying humins properties to make them thermally stable and processable. Employing a sequence of esterification reactions and varying the reagent steric length, we showcase the selective transformation of humins into thermally-stable fine powders and low-viscosity liquids. We extend this approach by reacting humins with polyesters such as polylactic acids and polycaprolactone. In particular, we detail a one-pot single-step synthesis of micro-phase separated compatibilized blends of polylactic acid and humins capped with the polylactic acid arms. Processed via solution-casting, the obtained materials behave as high-strength thermoplastic elastomers having uniform foam morphologies and material characteristics superior to the pure polylactic acid. By varying the content of D-enantiomers, we demonstrate an additional possibility of manipulating the cellular structures of the foams. Finally, we provide a solution to product circularity by reporting a dissolution recycling method.

Abstract
Supercapacitors (SCs) have emerged as critical components in applications ranging from transport to wearable electronics due to their rapid charge-discharge cycles, high power density, and reliability. This review offers an analysis of recent strides in supercapacitor research, emphasizing pivotal developments in sustainability, electrode materials, electrolytes, and 'smart SCs' designed for modern microelectronics with attributes such as flexibility, stretchability, and biocompatibility. Central to this discourse are two dominant electrode materials: carbon materials (CMs), primarily in electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs), and pseudocapacitive materials, involving oxides/hydroxides, chalcogenides, metal-organic frameworks, conductive polymers and metal nitrides such as MXene. Despite EDLCs' historical use, challenges such as low energy density persist, with heteroatom introduction into the carbon lattice seen as a solution. Concurrently, pseudocapacitive materials dominate recent studies, with efficiency enhancement strategies, such as the creation of hybrids based on different types of materials, surface structural engineering and doping, under exploration. Electrolyte innovation, especially the shift towards gel polymer electrolytes for flexible SCs, and the harmonization of electrode materials with SC designs are highlighted. Emphasis is given to smart SCs with novel attributes such as self-charging, self-healing, biocompatibility, and environmentally conscious designs. In summary, the article underscores the drive in sustainable supercapacitor research to achieve high energy and power density, steering towards SCs that are efficient and versatile and involving bioderived/biocompatible SC materials. This brief review is based on selected recent references, offering depth combined with an accessible overview of the SC landscape.

Abstract
Sustainable human development urgently calls for decreasing the cost of energy storage. Continuous massive consumption of dedicated carbon electrode materials with complex internal molecular architectures requires rethinking both the source of materials and the process of their production. Finding an efficient sustainable solution is focused on the reuse and development of waste processing into corresponding high-value-added carbon materials. The processing of solid wastes into solid value-added carbon materials ("solid-to-solid") is relatively well developed but can be a two-stage process involving carbon architecture rearrangement and heteroatom doping. Processing liquid wastes into high-value-added solid material ("liquid-to-solid") is typically much more challenging with the need for different production equipment. In the present study, a new approach is developed to bypass the difficulty in the "liquid-to-solid" conversion and simultaneously built in the ability for heteroatom doping within one production stage. Polycondensation of liquid humins waste with melamine (as a nitrogen-containing cross-linking component) results in solidification with preferential C and N atomic arrangements. For subsequent thermochemical conversion of the obtained solidified wastes, complicated equipment is no longer required, and under simple process conditions, carbon materials for energy storage with superior characteristics were obtained. A complete sequence is reported in the present study, including liquid waste processing, nitrogen incorporation, carbon material production, structural study of the obtained materials, detailed electrochemical evaluation and real supercapacitor device manufacture and testing.

Abstract
Humins are a by-product of many acid-catalyzed biorefinery processes converting polysaccharides into platform chemicals. The valorization of humin residue to increase the profit of biorefinery operations and reduce waste is a field that is growing interest as the production of humins continues to increase. This includes their valorization in materials science. For successful processing of humin-based materials, this study aims to understand the thermal polymerization mechanisms of humins from a rheological perspective. Thermal crosslinking of raw humins leads to an increase in their molecular weight, which in turn leads to the formation of a gel. Humin's gels structure combines physical (thermally reversible) and chemical (thermally irreversible) crosslinks, and temperature plays an essential role in the crosslink density and the gel properties. High temperatures delay the formation of a gel due to the scission of physicochemical interactions, drastically decreasing their viscosity, whereas upon cooling a stronger gel is formed combining the recovered physicochemical bonds and the newly created chemical crosslinks. Thus, a transition from a supramolecular network to a covalently crosslinked network is observed, and properties such as the elasticity or reprocessability of humin gels are influenced by the stage of polymerization.

Abstract
Nowadays, commercial electric double-layer supercapacitors mainly use porous activated carbons due to their high specific surface area, electrical conductivity, and chemical stability. A feature of carbon materials is the possibility of obtaining them from renewable plant biomass. In this study, fungi (Fomes fomentarius) were used as a bio-template for the preparation of carbon fibers via a combination of thermochemical conversion approaches, including a general hydrothermal pre-carbonization step, as well as subsequent carbonization, physical, or chemical activation. The relationships between the preparation conditions and the structural and electrochemical properties of the obtained carbon materials were determined using SEM, TEM, EDAX, XPS, cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic measurements, and EIS. It was shown that hydrothermal pretreatment in the presence of phosphoric acid ensured the complete removal of inorganic impurities of raw fungus hyphae, but at the same time, saved some heteroatoms, such as O, N, and P. Chemical activation using H3PO4 increased the amount of phosphorus in the carbon material and saved the natural fungus’s structure. The combination of a hierarchical pore structure with O, N, and P heteroatom doping made it possible to achieve good electrochemical properties (specific capacitance values of 220 F/g) and excellent stability after 25,000 charge/discharge cycles in a three-electrode cell. The electrochemical performance in both three- and two-electrode cells exceeded or was comparable to other biomass-derived porous carbons, making it a prospective candidate as an electrode material in symmetrical supercapacitors.

Abstract
Humins have already shown their potential as thermosetting resins to produce crosslinked networks and composites, with a large variety of properties depending on the used macromolecular approach. Our group has shown that a very interesting class of materials with tunable flexibility can be made by humins co-polymerization with glycerol diglycidyl ether (GDE). To create a clearer picture on structure-reactivity-properties-application interdependent relationship, a principal component analysis (PCA) was applied on several humins batches. The PCA allowed to obtain a clear discrimination between the humins/GDE resins samples in 3 groups which correlate very well with the results of copolymerization reactivity (DSC) and thermosets properties: crosslink density, thermal stability, tan δ, Shore D hardness values, etc.

Abstract
Polymers are synonymous with the modern way of living. However, polymers with a large carbon footprint, especially those derived from nonrenewable petrochemical sources, are increasingly perceived as detrimental to the environment and a sustainable future. Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) is a microbial biopolymer and a plausible alternative for renewable sources. However, PHA in its monomeric forms has very limited applications due to its limited flexibility, tensile strength, and moldability. Herein, the life cycle of PHA molecules, from biosynthesis to commercial utilization for diverse applications is discussed. For clarity, the applications of this bioplastic biocomposite material are further segregated into two domains, namely, the industrial sector and the medical sector. The industry sectors reviewed here include food packaging, textiles, agriculture, automotive, and electronics. High-value addition of PHA for a sustainable future can be foreseen in the medical domain. Properties such as biodegradability and biocompatibility make PHA a suitable candidate for decarbonizing biomaterials during tissue repair, organ reconstruction, drug delivery, bone tissue engineering, and chemotherapeutics.

Microbial lipid biosynthesis from lignocellulosic biomass pyrolysis products. Biotechnol Adv 2021; 54:107791.

Abstract
Lipids are a biorefinery platform to prepare fuel, food and health products. They are traditionally obtained from plants, but those of microbial origin allow for a better use of land and C resources, among other benefits. Several (thermo)chemical and biochemical strategies are used for the conversion of C contained in lignocellulosic biomass into lipids. In particular, pyrolysis can process virtually any biomass and is easy to scale up. Products offer cost-effective, renewable C in the form of readily fermentable molecules and other upgradable intermediates. Although the production of microbial lipids has been studied for 30 years, their incorporation into biorefineries was only described a few years ago. As pyrolysis becomes a profitable technology to depolymerize lignocellulosic biomass into assimilable C, the number of investigations on it raises significantly. This article describes the challenges and opportunities resulting from the combination of lignocellulosic biomass pyrolysis and lipid biosynthesis with oleaginous microorganisms. First, this work presents the basics of the individual processes, and then it shows state-of-the-art processes for the preparation of microbial lipids from biomass pyrolysis products. Advanced knowledge on separation techniques, structure analysis, and fermentability is detailed for each biomass pyrolysis fraction. Finally, the microbial fatty acid platform comprising biofuel, human food and animal feed products, and others, is presented. Literature shows that the microbial lipid production from anhydrosugars, like levoglucosan, and short-chain organic acids, like acetic acid, is straightforward. Indeed, processes achieving nearly theoretical yields form the latter have been described. Some authors have shown that lipid biosynthesis from different lignin sources is biochemically feasible. However, it still imposes major challenges regarding strain performance. No report on the fermentation of pyrolytic lignin is yet available. Research on the microbial uptake of pyrolytic humins remains vacant. Microorganisms that make use of methane show promising results at the proof-of-concept level. Overall, despite some issues need to be tackled, it is now possible to conceive new versatile biorefinery models by combining lignocellulosic biomass pyrolysis products and robust oleaginous microbial cell factories.

Abstract
In this work, a non-toxic and mild strategy was presented to efficiently fabricate porous and nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets. Silkworm cocoon (SCs) acted as carbon source and original nitrogen source. Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) could facilitate the SCs to expose silk protein and played a catalytic role in the subsequent activation of calcium chloride (CaCl2). Calcium chloride served as pore-making agent. The as-obtained carbon materials with protuberant porous nanosheets exhibit high specific surface area of 731 m2 g-1, rich native nitrogen-doped of 7.91 atomic %, wide pore size distribution from 0.5 to 65 nm, and thus possessing high areal specific capacitances of 34 μF cm-2 as well as excellent retention rate of 97% after 20 000 cycles at a current density of 20 A g-1 in 6 M KOH electrolyte. The assembled carbon nanosheet-based supercapacitor displays a maximum energy density of 21.06 Wh kg-1 at the power density of 225 W kg-1 in 1 M Na2SO4 electrolyte. Experimental results show that a mild and non-toxic treatment of biomass can be an effective and extensible method for preparing optimal porous carbon for electrochemical energy storage.

Abstract
Development of sustainable bio-based materials for removal of toxic contaminants from water is a high priority goal. Novel bio-based binary and ternary copolymers with enhanced ion-exchange, adsorption and antibacterial properties were obtained by using plant biomass-derived diallyl esters of furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) as crosslinking agents and easily available vinyl monomers. The synthesized copolymer materials showed higher sorption capacities for NiII , CoII and CuII compared to the commercial ion-exchange resins, and they maintained their high metal adsorption capacities for over 10 cycles of regeneration. The synthesized copolymer gels containing 1-5 wt % of the crosslinker showed excellent water absorption capacities. The synthesized copolymers with 1 % crosslinker content showed swelling ratios high enough to also act as moisture absorbents. Synthesized copolymers with crosslinker content of 10 wt % performed as contact-active antibacterials by inhibiting the growth of Gram-positive (S. aureus) and Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli, K. pneumonia) in suspension tests.

Abstract
Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a high-value platform chemical derived from renewable resources. In recent years, considerable efforts have been made to produce HMF also at industrial scale, which still faces some challenges regarding yield as well as sustainable and economic process designs. This critical Review evaluates the industrial process development of sustainable biomass conversion to HMF. Qualitative and quantitative guidelines are defined for the technological assessment of the processes described in patent literature. The formation of side products, difficulties in the separation and purification of HMF as well as catalyst regeneration were identified as major challenges in the HMF production. A first small-scale, commercial HMF production plant with a capacity of 300 tHMF per year has been operating in Switzerland since 2014.

Abstract
Herein, we propose a new highly porous natural carbon material from renewable and inexpensive jujube fruits as a carbon source applied in supercapacitors. The combination of pre-carbonization and chemical activation approaches is employed to product hierarchical porous carbon from natural jujube fruits. The specific surface area of the prepared porous carbon is increased from 85.4 to 1135 m2 g-1 after the completion of NaOH activation at an optimized condition, which is beneficial to enhancing electrochemical performance of supercapacitors. A 3-electrode configuration was utilized to explore the electrochemical ability of porous carbon in 6 M KOH electrolyte. The acquired results demonstrate that porous carbon displays the specific capacitance of 587, 460 and 324 F g-1 at 0.1, 1 and 100 A g-1, respectively, which is confirmed by its admirable capacitance and rate behaviors. The porous carbon also shows a wonderful durability with a capacitance retention of 92.2% after 130,000 cycles at 50 A g-1. Moreover, the assembled symmetrical coin-like supercapacitors with wide potential window of 2.5 V in 1 M Et4NBF4/AN organic electrolyte offer a high energy density of 23.7 Wh kg-1 at 0.629 kW kg-1 with remaining 94% capacitance over 10,000 cycles at 30 A g-1, indicating its practical application prospect. As a result, the present study proves the natural jujube fruits is a promising sustainable carbon source for making more economical and efficient electrode material of high performance supercapacitors.

Abstract
Hollow carbon nanofibers with hierarchical porous shells were prepared by NaOH activation of the electrospinning SiCNO fibers, followed by carbonization treatment. By adjusting the carbonization temperature, porous hollow carbon nanofibers with different Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) specific surface areas and total pore volumes are obtained, both of which are explored as electrode materials for supercapacitors. It was found that the obtained products (HCF800) possess the highest BET specific surface area of 2628.10 m2/g and the largest pore volume of 2.32 cm3/g when the carbonized temperature was designed at 800 °C, thus displaying the best supercapacitor performance. The electrochemical results in a three-electrode system show that HCF800 exhibits a high specific capacitance of 330.11 F/g as the discharge current density is 1 A/g and still maintains 65.3% of its original specific capacitance when the current density reaches 20 A/g. Moreover, in a two-electrode system, HCF800 also exhibits an excellent specific capacity of 259.86 F/g at a current density of 1 A/g, marvelous cyclic stability with the specific capacitance retention of 95.3% even after 10,000 cycles, and a large energy density of 12.99 W h/kg at 1.0 A/g. Significantly, the supercapacitor performance of these porous hollow carbon nanofibers is also superior to that of many previously reported carbon materials, which proved them to be worthy candidates for high-performance electrode materials.

Abstract
Conversion of renewable biomass by time- and energy-efficient techniques remains an important challenge. Herein, plasma catalytic liquefaction (PCL) is employed to achieve rapid liquefaction of microalgae under mild conditions. The choice of the catalyst affects both the liquefaction efficiency and the yield of products. The acid catalyst is more effective and gave a liquid yield of 73.95 wt % in 3 min, as opposed to 69.80 wt % obtained with the basic catalyst in 7 min. Analyses of the thus-formed products and the processing environment reveal that the enhanced PCL performance is linked to the rapid increase in temperature under the effect of plasma-induced electric fields and the generation of large quantities of reactive species. Moreover, the obtained solid residue can be simply upgraded to a carbon product suitable for supercapacitor applications. Therefore, the proposed strategy may provide a new avenue for fast and comprehensive utilization of biomass under benign conditions.

Abstract
The combination of eco-respectful epoxy compounds with the humins, a by-product of biomass chemical conversion technologies, allow the obtention of materials with high added value. In this work, we propose a chemical connection study of humins with two aliphatic bis-epoxides through copolymerization reactions to synthesize sustainable, bio-based thermosets. The mechanism insights for the crosslinking between the epoxides and humins was proposed considering the different functionalities of the humins structure. Fourier Transform InfraRed (FT-IR), one dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy techniques were used to build the proposed mechanism. By these techniques, the principal chain connections and the reactivity of all the components were highlighted in the synthesized networks.

Abstract
Humins is a biomass-derived material, co-product of the acid-catalyzed conversion of cellulose and hemicellulose to platform chemicals. This work presents a thorough study concerning the crosslinking kinetics of humins by chemorheological analysis and model-free kinetics under isothermal and non-isothermal curing. Humins can auto-crosslink under the effect of temperature, and the reaction can be fastener when adding an acidic initiator. Thus, the effect of P-Toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (pTSA) on the crosslinking kinetics was also studied. The dependencies of the effective activation energy (Eα-dependencies) were determined by an advanced isoconversional method and correlated with the variation of complex viscosity during curing. It is shown that humins curing involves multi-step complex reactions and that the use of an acidic initiator allows faster crosslinking at lower temperatures, involving lower Eα. The shift from chemical to diffusion control was also estimated.

Abstract
In order to complete using the pyrolysis gas and heat from biomass routine pyrolysis, the camellia shell was torrefied under PG atmosphere. And the chemical and physical properties of torrefied char obtained under N2 and pyrolysis gas were compared as well as the pyrolysis and combustion performance. Moreover, in order to investigate the mechanism of pyrolysis gas torrefaction, the influence of each composition such as H2, CO2 and CH4 in pyrolysis gas on the torrefaction performance was also been studied. The results show pyrolysis gas improves the volatile matter content and heat value of the torrefied char. Moreover, pyrolysis gas promotes the degradation of cellulose and hemicellulose. Chemical structure is different for torrefied char under pyrolysis gas and N2 atmosphere. And each composition in pyrolysis gas plays synergy role to the severity of torrefied char. The combustion kinetic of torrefied char were calculated using the Friedman method and the Ozawa-Flynn-Wall method.

Abstract
An advanced hierarchically porous nanosheets-constructed three-dimensional (3D) carbon material (HPNSC) is prepared by using low-cost agricultural waste-nelumbium seed-pods as the precursor, and potassium hydroxide (KOH) as the activator. The as-prepared HPNSC material has a hierarchically porous nanosheets-constructed structure with 3D carbon nanosheet network morphology, which can enable fast and efficient transfer of Li+/Na+/H+ during charge-discharge process. The assembled HPNSC//HPNSC symmetric supercapacitors exhibit an improved energy density of 41.3 W h kg-1 with a power density of 180 W kg-1 in 1 mol l-1 Na2SO4 electrolyte. The energy density can still be maintained at 16.3 W h kg-1 even if the power density is increased to 9000 W kg-1. When acting as the reversible electrode for lithium ion batteries, this HPNSC material can achieve a high specific capacity of 1246 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1. Moreover, sodium ion battery with HPNSC electrode exhibits excellent cycling performance of 161.8 mA h g-1 maintained even after being cycled 3350 times. The electrochemical performances clearly indicate that the HPNSC developed in this work is a very promising energy storage electrode material, and can further provide new insights for designing and developing highly porous materials for energy storage in other fields.

Abstract
Calcium carbide, a stable solid compound composed of two atoms of carbon and one of calcium, has proven its effectiveness in chemical synthesis, due to the safety and convenience of handling the C≡C acetylenic units. The areas of CaC2 application are very diverse, and the development of calcium-mediated approaches resolves several important challenges. This Review aims to discuss the laboratory chemistry of calcium carbide, and to go beyond its frontiers to organic synthesis, life sciences, materials and construction, carbon dioxide capturing, alloy manufacturing, and agriculture. The recyclability of calcium carbide and the availability of large-scale industrial production facilities, as well as the future possibility of fossil-resource-independent manufacturing, position this compound as a key chemical platform for sustainable development. Easy regeneration and reuse of the carbide highlight calcium-based sustainable chemical technologies as promising instruments for total carbon recycling.

Abstract
Biomass-derived carbons have been extensively explored as electrode materials in supercapacitors. However, the type of biomass selected and its specific structure affects the synthesis of the advanced biomass-derived carbon materials. A green and facile method for the synthesis of carbon material with nanoscale and microscale porous structures for supercapacitors has been developed, based on regulating the original cell structure of the bacterial strain. The cell structure is modified in situ by regulating the accumulation of polyhydroxyalkanoate under controlled cultivation conditions. The novel bacterial in situ modification and nitrogen doping endow this hierarchically derived carbon material with improved performance. This material exhibits an extremely high specific capacitance (420 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 ) and long cycling stability (97 % capacitance retention after 10 000 cycles at 5 A g-1 ) in aqueous electrolytes. More importantly, the symmetric supercapacitor delivers a superior energy density of 60.76 Wh kg-1 at 625 W kg-1 in an ionic liquid electrolyte system. Moreover, all components in the synthesis are low in cost, environmentally friendly, and biocompatible. With these unique features, the bacterial self-modification mode opens new avenues into the design and production of a wide range of hierarchical structures.

Abstract
Humin (HM) is a complex mixture of molecules produced in the different biological processes, and the structural evolution of HM in the agricultural wastes composting are not well-known. Elucidating and comparing the structural evolution during livestock manure (LMC) and straw wastes (SWC) composting can help one to better understand the fates, features, and environmental impacts of HM. This study exploits excitation emission matrix-parallel factor (EEM-PARAFAC), two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2D-CoS), hetero-2DCoS, and structural equation model (SEM) to compare the fate of the HM. We fit a three-component EEM-PARAFAC model to characterize HM extracted from LMC and SWC. The results show that the HM evolution has a significant difference between LMC and SWC. As a result, the opposite change tendency and different change order of HM fluorescent components determine the different synthesis formation and evolution mechanisms. The diverse organic matter composition and dominant microbes might be the reason for the different evolution mechanism. Based on these results, a comprehensive view of the component changes of HM in the composting process is obtained. Furthermore, the superior potential of such an integrated approach during investigating the complex evolution in the environment was also demonstrated.

Abstract
Combining pseudocapacitive materials with conductive substrates is an effective approach to enhance the overall performance of electrodes for supercapacitors. Herein, NiMoO4 nanosheets were grown on the surface of porous carbon nanospheres (PCNS) that were derived from cyclodextrin, resulting in PCNS@NiMoO4 hollow nanospheres. Co was further doped into NiMoO4 which gave rise to a composite PCNS@CoxNi1-xMoO4. The capacitive performance of these materials was systematically examined. Compared with pure NiMoO4 and PCNS@NiMoO4, PCNS@Co0.21Ni0.79MoO4 showed the highest specific capacitance of 954 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 and an extraordinary rate performance of 92.8% retention at 40 A g-1, which are significantly higher than those of PCNS@NiMoO4 and pure NiMoO4. This enhancement was due to the fact that PCNS provides high electrical conductivity, the hollow structure enables excellent contact and facile penetration of the electrolyte into the active material, and Co doping further improves the electrical conductivity and provides extra redox reaction sites. By using PCNS@Co0.21Ni0.79MoO4 as the positive electrode and activated carbon (AC) as the negative electrode, an asymmetric supercapacitor was fabricated. Such a device delivered an energy density of 36.7 W h kg-1 at a power density of 346.4 W kg-1, and an outstanding cycling stability with 90.2% retention of its initial capacitance after 5000 cycles of charge and discharge.

Abstract
Conversion of lignocellulosic biomass often brings about the formation of several side products. Among these, a black and viscous coproduct known as humins is formed on acidic treatment of polysaccharides. To improve the efficiency of this process from an economical and environmental perspective, new solutions for humins valorization are urgently needed. This work focuses on the comprehensive understanding of humins with special emphasis on their structure/properties relationships. Humins were subjected to different thermal treatments and characterized by means of structural, thermoanalytical, and rheological investigations. The structure and composition of humins are very diverse and depend on the thermochemical conditions. On sufficient heating, humins change into a nonreversible and more branched furanic structure with a relatively high glass-transition temperature (Tg >65 °C). Thus, humins can be easily processed for preparing thermoset-like resins.
