Abstract
We report the synthesis of phosphorylated polyesters by the phosphorylation of hydroxylated polyesters synthesized by the lipase-catalyzed polycondensation of glycerol and aliphatic dicarboxylic acids and their characterization. The use of phosphoryl chloride as a phosphorylating agent and triethylamine as a catalyst in mild reaction conditions resulted in polyesters with repetitive units structurally similar to phospholipids, molar mass of around 14-38 kDa, and a degree of phosphorylation of 36 ± 11 mol %. These polyesters are composed mainly of 10 different repetitive units as determined by 1D and 2D NMR. Their properties change from more hydrophilic and amorphous for phosphorylated poly(glycerol adipate) to more hydrophobic and semicrystalline for phosphorylated poly(glycerol dodecanedioate). Preliminary investigations have shown the potential of these polyesters to self-assemble in aqueous media forming nanoparticles, which can be loaded with hydrophobic molecules and released into an organic phase, acting as a phase transfer agent, and used as a pH-responsive emulsifier.

Abstract
A new phosphate-containing bio-polyester based on glycerol and citric acid was synthesized and evaluated as fire-retardant (FR) in wooden particleboards. Phosphorus pentoxide was used to first introduce phosphate esters in the glycerol followed by esterification with citric acid to produce the bio-polyester. The phosphorylated products were characterized by ATR-FTIR, 1H-NMR and TGA-FTIR. After polyester curing, they were grinded and incorporated in laboratory produced particleboards. The fire reaction performance of the boards was evaluated by cone calorimeter. An increased char residue was produced depending on the phosphorus content and the THR (Total Heat Release), PHRR (Peak of Heat Release Rate) and MAHRE (Maximum Average of the Rate of Heat Emission) were considerably reduced in presence of the FRs. Highlights: Phosphate containing bio-polyester as fire retardant in wooden particle board; Fire performance is improved; Bio-polyester acts in the condensed and gas phases; Additive effectiveness similar to ammonium polyphosphate.

Abstract
The aim of the present research was the development of a management method for wood-processing waste that was obtained during the production of parquet flooring. Currently mostly useless, such waste mainly ends up in landfills. The oak waste flour was used as a reinforcement material for epoxy biocomposites based on the polyaddition product of epoxidized soybean oil and bisphenol-A (ESBO_BPA). The biofiller was subjected to mercerization, acetylation, and diisocyanate modification to increase the typically poor compatibility between the highly hydrophilic wood fibers and the hydrophobic polymer matrix. Among the analyzed epoxy biocomposites, which contained about 60% raw materials of natural origin, it was found that the best mechanical properties were recorded for cured samples of the ESBO_BPA composition filled with 5 wt % of oak flour mercerized using a 5% solution of NaOH. It was also proven that a higher concentration of alkali deteriorated the mechanical-strengthening properties of the wood filler. The acetylation of the biofiller independently in the best elimination of hydroxyl groups from its structure also removed irregular strips and smoothed its surface. This resulted in a poorer wettability of the oak flour surface by the polymer and consequently an easier pullout of the filler from the polymer matrix and worse mechanical properties of the wood/epoxy composite. To the best of the authors' knowledge, the present research was the first to examine the possibility of the application of parquet flooring post-production wood flour in biomaterials based on a polyaddition product of epoxidized soybean oil and bisphenol-A.

Abstract
The low-dose mixture hypothesis of carcinogenesis proposes that exposure to an environmental chemical that is not individually oncogenic may nonetheless be capable of enabling carcinogenesis when it acts in concert with other factors. A class of ubiquitous environmental chemicals that are hypothesized to potentially function in this low-dose capacity are synthesized polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). PBDEs can affect correlates of carcinogenesis that include genomic instability and inflammation. However, the effect of low-dose PBDE exposure on such correlates in mammary tissue has not been examined. In the present study, low-dose long-term (16 weeks) administration of PBDE to mice modulated transcriptomic indicators of genomic integrity and innate immunity in normal mammary tissue. PBDE increased transcriptome signatures for the Nuclear Factor Erythroid 2 Like 2 (NFE2L2) response to oxidative stress and decreased signatures for non-homologous end joining DNA repair (NHEJ). PBDE also decreased transcriptome signatures for the cyclic GMP-AMP Synthase - Stimulator of Interferon Genes (cGAS-STING) response, decreased indication of Interferon Stimulated Gene Factor 3 (ISGF3) and Nuclear Factor Kappa B (NF-κB) transcription factor activity, and increased digital cytometry estimates of immature dendritic cells (DCs) in mammary tissue. Replication of the PBDE exposure protocol in mice susceptible to mammary carcinogenesis resulted in greater tumor development. The results support the notion that ongoing exposure to low levels of PBDE can disrupt facets of genomic integrity and innate immunity in mammary tissue. Such effects affirm that synthesized PBDEs are a class of environmental chemicals that reasonably fit the low-dose mixture hypothesis.

Abstract
This study aimed to produce a new potential flame retardant thermoset resin from epoxidised corn oil through a one-pot method using liquid inorganic catalysed with hydrogen peroxide. Using a gas chromatography-mass selective detector, attenuated total reflectance-fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, optical microscopy, and scanning emission microscopy, we synthesised a bio-based resin based on newly designed parameters. The flame retardant capacity was fully established using thermogravimetric analysis and a micro calorimeter. The produced epoxidised corn oil had a relative percentage conversion of oxirane of approximately 91.70%, wherein the amount of double bonds converted into epoxides was calculated. A significant reduction from 17 to 40% in peak heat rate release (pHRR) and 26-30% in total heat release was observed, confirming its flame retardant property. Thus, the potential of epoxidised corn oil was demonstrated.

Abstract
Carbon nanoparticles (CNP) were synthesized through flame deposition method from a sustainable corn oil precursor. The morphology, particle size, surface chemistry, thermal stability, and zeta potential of the CNP were characterized. The batch adsorption of a cationic dye, methylene blue (MB), by the CNP at various concentrations, pH, and temperatures was evaluated to investigate the CNP's efficacy in industrial wastewater treatment applications. Results revealed the excellent adsorption of MB onto the CNP. The experimental data were then fitted into isotherm models, kinetic models, and thermodynamic models, and the model parameters, constants, Gibb free energy, enthalpy, and entropy were calculated and discussed. Hydrogen bonding and strong electrostatic interaction were the main adsorption mechanism for MB adsorption by the CNP. The CNP exhibited a maximum adsorption capacity of 138.89 mg/g, indicating superior adsorption of MB dye without the need for any further purification and activation steps. The adsorption efficiency did not compromise as the solution temperature increased up to 60 °C, and it can further be enhanced under alkaline conditions. To simulate the practical and industrial use of the developed CNP in textile effluent treatment, successful experiments were conducted in continuous flow adsorption by allowing concentrated MB solution to flow through a designed fixed bed purification system with a CNP filter bed.

Abstract
The presented work focuses on the assessment of the material performance of polyoxymethylene (POM)-based composites reinforced with the use of a biocarbon/basalt fiber system (BC/BF). The use of BC particles was aimed at eliminating mineral fillers (chalk, talc) by using fully biobased material, while basalt fibers can be considered an alternative to glass fibers (GF). All materials were prepared with the same 20% filler content, the differences concerned the (BC/BF) % ratio. Hybrid samples with (25/75), (50/50), and (75/25) ratios were prepared. Additionally, reference samples were also prepared (POM BC20% and POM BF20%.). Samples prepared by the injection molding technique were subjected to a detailed analysis of mechanical properties (static tensile and Charpy impact tests), thermomechanical characteristics (dynamic mechanical thermal analysis-DMTA, heat deflection temperature - HDT), and thermal and rheological properties (DSC, rotational rheometer tests). In order to assess fiber distribution within the material structure, the samples were scanned by a microtomography method (μCT). The addition of even a significant amount of BC particles did not cause excessive material brittleness, while the elongation and impact strength of all hybrid samples were very similar to the reference POM BF20% sample. The tensile modulus and strength values appear to be strictly dependent on the increasing BF fiber content. Thermomechanical analysis (DMTA, HDT) showed very similar heat resistance for all hybrid samples; the results did not differ from the values for the POM BF20 sample.

Abstract
A novel eco-friendly halogen-free cardanol-based flame retardant with P, Si, and N on the chain backbone (PSNCFR) was synthesized and incorporated into phenolic foams (PFs). PSNCFR was comprehensively investigated via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance. PSNCFR endowed PFs with flame retardancy, contributed to generating a composite char defense against flames, and efficiently prevented smoking from PFs. PSNCFR introduction improved the flexural strength of the PFs to approximately 155% of that of pristine PF. PSNCFR-modified PFs displayed a high limiting oxygen index value of 41.9%. The results of cone calorimeter show that the mean heat release rate, mean effective heat of combustion, and total heat release of the PSNCFR-modified PFs reduced by 26.92%, 35.71%, and 31.25%, respectively. In particular, the total smoke production of the PSNCFR-modified PFs decreased by 64.55%, indicating excellent smoke inhibition. As for the mechanism, the condensation and gas phases during pyrolysis were responsible for the synergistic flame retardancy in the modified PFs. The findings demonstrate that PSNCFR can be used in PF preparation to overcome their drawbacks of internal brittleness and flammability.

Abstract
In this study, a novel two-step integrated process is proposed to facilitate the microalgae biofuel production as well as fresh cheese whey wastewater (FCWW) treatment simultaneously. The pre- and post-treatment of high-strength FCWW were performed by means of coagulation and algal cultivation, respectively. The pre-treatment of FCWW for maximum removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD), turbidity (TUR) and total solids (TS) as responses was obtained by statistical optimization of coagulation parameters. The maximum removal of COD, TUR and TS at the optimum level of variables was obtained as 68.09%, 47.80% and 73.63%, respectively. The pre-treated FCWW was further treated by Chlorella pyrenoidosa and observed a significant reduction in the above-mentioned responses (87-94%). The maximum algal biomass yield and lipid productivity were observed as 2.44 g L-1 and 77.41 mg L-1 day-1, respectively. Based on promising results of FCWW treatment and its use as a third-generation biodiesel feedstock, a cost-benefit analysis of the developed process was assessed for microalgal oil production. The total profit earned by the integrated process model was $9.59 million year-1. Accordingly, the estimated production cost of algal oil (TAG) from the developed system was estimated to be $79.03 per barrel.

Abstract
Recently, various environmental-friendly materials have been investigated and developed, especially composites of polylactic acid (PLA) and plant fibers. This paper investigates the effects of pulp fiber (PF) and epoxidized Tung oil (ETO) content on the properties of biocomposites, based on polylactic acid. The bleached pulp fiber reinforced PLA (PLA/PF) composites with 10–50 wt% fiber contents and 0–15% epoxidized Tung oil contents (with a certain number of fiber) were prepared in an internal mixer (Plastograph® EC) at 150 °C. The mechanical properties of PLA/PF composites were improved significantly. The pulp fiber reinforced PLA composites, with the fiber content of 30 wt%, were found to have the highest mechanical properties. The tensile and flexural properties of PLA/Tung oil-soaked-pulp fiber composites were higher than those of PLA/Tung oil unsoaked pulp fiber composites. In addition, the degradation temperature of PLA-based composites decreased after adding more pulp fiber. The pulp fibers were well-dispersed in the PLA matrix with the content up to 30 wt%. The interaction between pulp fiber and PLA matrix improved by the addition of epoxidized Tung oil. Epoxidized Tung oil also improved tensile and flexural strength of composite materials when it was added with a number of below 10% of fiber.
