We are delighted to announce that the Green Chemistry themed collection Biobased furanic derivatives for sustainable development is now online and free to access until the end of March 2022.
This themed collection aims to gather the most advanced research in the area of furanic building blocks. These furanic platform molecules can be further derivatized and employed in various applications (thermoplastics; resins; biofuels; fine chemistry; green solvents, etc.). Their end-life (recycling, biodegradation), within a circular rational, is also a sparking field of research activity. Therefore, the biomass origin of these furanic molecules and the Green Chemistry principles that are employed to prepare, modify and dispose these molecules fit with the expectation of the journal.
Guest Edited by Drs Andreia F. Sousa, François Jérôme and Nathanaël Guigo, this collection reviews the very recent achievements of furanic derivatives in various areas of green and sustainable chemistry.
