One of the main criteria for ecological sustainability is that the materials produced for common use are green. This can include the use of biomaterials and materials that are environmentally friendly, biodegradable and produced at low cost. The exploration of natural resources as sustainable precursors leads to the production of biopolymers that are useful for 3D printing technology. Recently, waste vegetable oils have been found to be a good alternative source for the production of biopolymers in various applications from the engineering to the biomedicine. In this review, the processes for the synthesis of vegetable oil-based biomaterials are described in detail. Moreover, the functionalization strategies to improve the mechanical properties of these materials and the cell-material interaction for their potential use as micro-structured scaffolds in regenerative medicine are discussed.

This study developed an electrochemical immunosensor for the detection of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in vegetable oil, based on an electrochemical modified carbon cloth (EMCC) electrode modified with a composite functional layer of cross-linked o-aminothiophenol functionalized AuNPs (o-ATP@AuNPs)/Prussian Blue (PB). The EMCC electrode substrate was prepared by modifying carbon cloth through electrochemical methods to increase its surface area, which allowed for the effective deposition of o-ATP@AuNPs/PB composite functional layer and improved the conductivity of the electrode material. The synergistic effect of o-ATP@AuNPs and PB significantly enhanced the sensitivity of the electrochemical sensor.

The sensitivity of positron annihilation characteristics to changes in the molecular packing in network-forming polymers has been demonstrated since the early 1980s. Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) is a unique technique that can provide direct information on the free volume in polymers through the experimental parameters of the free volume hole distribution, their mean value, and volume fraction. This knowledge is currently applied for PALS investigations on the main processes that govern the molecular organization in some green polymers when subjected to different synthesis procedures or environmental conditions (humidity, physical aging, temperature).

Compositions of ethylene glycol dicyclopentenyl ether methacrylate (EGDEMA), a vegetable oil based alkyl methacrylate (C13MA), and furfuryl methacrylate (FMA) were terpolymerized for dual-crosslinked networks with tailored mechanical and thermal properties. Specifically, initiators for continuous activator regeneration (ICAR) atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) afforded materials with tailored glass transition temperature ( ) and incorporation of furan and norbornene functionalities within a single chain. The terpolymer with high furan and norbornene functionality (Ter2: = 0.

The current study focuses on investigating the potential of produced graphene oxide (GO)/oil-based polyurethane composite films as a drug carrier for 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Polyurethane was synthesized starting from blends of castor oil and sunflower oil-based glyceride, followed by GO and 5-FU anticancer drug bearing film production by solution casting. GO/PU composite film samples were characterized by FTIR, TGA and SEM analysis, confirming the PU production and distribution of 5-FU drug at a homogeneous level in GO/PU films.

Background: Long-term parenteral nutrition in children often results in intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD). Phytosterols are plant steroids in vegetable oil-based intravenous lipid emulsions (ILEs) that are associated with IFALD. We investigated whether a phytosterol-depleted soybean oil ILE, compared to standard soybean oil ILE, prevented hepatotoxicity in a murine IFALD model.
