	Hot-melt adhesives (HMAs) derived from renewable resources are always attractive, as they promote less dependence on fossil resources and aid in developing environmentally friendly materials. However, developing sustainable HMAs exhibiting good adhesive performance and biodegradability remains challenging. Herein, reusable biobased HMAs with a high bio content of 88-90%, biodegradability, and tunable adhesive nature were developed as a possible alternative to conventional petroleum-based hot-melt adhesives. Moreover, the structure-property relationship of the product was investigated in detail. By tailoring the monomer composition, NIPU-40 HMA exhibited a good bonding ability with a superior adhesion strength of 6.39 MPa. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest adhesion strength observed when bonding with an Al substrate among the biobased thermoplastic NIPU-HMAs. Impressively, NIPU-HMAs could display excellent reusability even after three bonding and debonding cycles without a significant drop in the adhesive strength and were found to exhibit good adhesion performance under wet conditions. More importantly, the NIPU-HMAs are prone to degradation under acid-catalyzed conditions. Considering their features, these biobased NIPU thermoplastic hot-melt adhesives offer an opportunity to create environmentally friendly, degradable adhesives that possess excellent adhesive strength and can be reused multiple times.&lt;/p&gt;

	Tissue engineering (TE) has sparked interest in creating scaffolds with customizable properties and functional bioactive sites. However, due to limitations in medical practices and manufacturing technologies, it is challenging to replicate complex porous frameworks with appropriate architectures and bioactivity in vitro. To address these challenges, herein, we present a green approach that involves the amino acid (L-lysine) initiated polymerization of epsilon-caprolactone (CL) to produce modified polycaprolactone (PCL) with favorable active sites for TE applications. Further, to better understand the effect of morphology and porosity on cell attachment and proliferation, scaffolds of different geometries with uniform and interconnected pores are designed and fabricated, and their properties are evaluated in comparison with commercial PCL. The scaffold morphology and complex internal micro-architecture are imaged by micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), revealing pore size in the range of similar to 300-900 mu m and porosity ranging from 30 to 70 %, while based on the geometry of scaffolds the compressive strength varied from 143 +/- 19 to 214 +/- 10 MPa. Additionally, the degradation profiles of fabricated scaffolds are found to be influenced by both the chemical nature and product design, where Lys-PCL-based scaffolds with better porosity and lower crystallinity degraded faster than commercial PCL scaffolds. According to in vitro studies, Lys-PCL scaffolds have produced an environment that is better for cell adhesion and proliferation. Moreover, the scaffold design affects the way cells interact; Lys-PCL with zigzag geometry has demonstrated superior in vitro vitality (&amp;gt;90 %) and proliferation in comparison to other designs. This study emphasizes the importance of enhancing bioactivity while meeting morphology and porosity requirements in the design of scaffolds for tissue engineering applications.&lt;/p&gt;

	Replacing the energy-intensive oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with the urea oxidation reaction (UOR) in electrochemical water splitting offers simultaneous green hydrogen production and urea-rich wastewater oxidation, enhancing energy efficiency and economic viability. In this study, a non-noble metal-based binder-free NiMoO4/Ni(OH)2/NF electrocatalyst is developed, featuring NiMoO4 nanorods anchored on Ni(OH)2 nanosheets. This unique morphology facilitates a highly active in situ reconstructed interface, delivering a current density of 134 mA cm-2 at 1.40 V (vs RHE) in 1 m KOH with 0.33 m urea, significantly outperforming its individual components. The catalyst demonstrates excellent stability over 50 h at 30 mA cm-2. When integrated into an anion exchange membrane urea electrolyser (13 cm2 area) with Pt@C/NF as the HER cathode, the system achieves 192 mA cm-2 at 1.60 V. The post-UOR studies confirm the presence of an amorphous NiMoO4-crystalline Ni(OH)2 interface, which plays a key role in enhancing the availability of the active sites to enhance the UOR performance. The improved electrochemical performance of the engineered catalyst can be ascribed to the in situ reconstructed amorphous-crystalline interface, optimal hydrophilicity, reduced charge transfer resistance, and the distinct morphology. This strategy offers a promising pathway for developing highly active electrocatalysts for energy conversion applications.&lt;/p&gt;

	Solid-state photosynthetic cell factories (SSPCFs) are a new production concept that leverages the innate photosynthetic abilities of microbes to drive the production of valuable chemicals. It addresses practical challenges such as high energy and water demand and improper light distribution associated with suspension-based culturing; however, these systems often face significant challenges related to mass transfer. The approach focuses on overcoming these limitations by carefully engineering the microstructure of the immobilization matrix through freeze-induced assembly of nanochitin building blocks. The use of nanochitins with optimized size distribution enabled the formation of macropores with lamellar spatial organization, which significantly improves light transmittance and distribution, crucial for maximizing the efficiency of photosynthetic reactions. The biomimetic crosslinking strategy, leveraging specific interactions between polyphosphate anions and primary amine groups featured on chitin fibers, produced mechanically robust and wet-resilient cryogels that maintained their functionality under operational conditions. Various model biotransformation reactions leading to value-added chemicals are performed in chitin-based matrix. It demonstrates superior or comparable performance to existing state-of-the-art matrices and suspension-based systems. The findings suggest that chitin-based cryogel approach holds significant promise for advancing the development of solid-state photosynthetic cell factories, offering a scalable solution to improve the efficiency and productivity of light-driven biotransformation.&lt;/p&gt;
