“…In the UK energy purposes are by far the largest use of fossil fuels [9], however non-energy uses of fossil fuels contribute towards the production of medicines, paints, aerosols, insecticides, adhesives, fertilisers and plastics [9][10][11][12], and this is world-wide. Demand for fossil fuels for energy and non-energy uses will continue to increase in the developing world in line with people's rising aspirations for quality of life [12].…”

“…Demand for fossil fuels for energy and non-energy uses will continue to increase in the developing world in line with people's rising aspirations for quality of life [12]. It is essential for the continuation of civilisation, both national and global, that fossil fuels are conserved for non-energy use until such a time as they can be replaced by sustainable substitutes.…”

Plug-in vehicles are promoted for a number of beneficial reasons that encompass environmental, economic, social and political motivations. This paper is the first in a quartet of investigative arguments that considers sustainability and the role of the plug-in vehicle in the context of the question: are they worthy of being called a sustainable energy technology?This first paper reviews one of the motivational drivers behind changing fossil fuel use (People security) and the implementation of plug-in-vehicles and employs sociology, and psychology to demonstrate the worthiness of plug-in vehicles to be a sustainable energy technology. This is not a well-to-wheels analysis.I.

“…The preparation of which requires the use of components that often do not reconcile with respect and protection towards the environment, such as the use of adhesives and paints that in time may release harmful substances and thus creating a potentially dangerous environment health wise giving rise to the so-called Sick Building Syndrome [10][11][12][13][14][15]. This is why over the last years, many studies have turned towards the research of innovative materials that are, above all, prepared with possible natural and safe components [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Further studies were aimed towards the production of building materials using a variety of waste from civil to industrial with the dual advantage of offering a new location and value to waste and in order to be able to prepare innovative materials [24][25][26][27].…”

The aim of this project is to investigate the behaviour of several special types plasters specifically designed to degrade the most common pollutants which are present in the atmosphere. In particular, specific additives have been added to these plasters, in order to obtain a broad spectrum of active and synergic response, each of which have peculiar functions: - microporous materials, such as clinoptilolite, a natural zeolite, that promotes the adsorption of air pollutants thanks to its porous nature; - nano-fillers, such as carbon nanotubes, that behave both as reinforcing agents as well as adsorbent materials; - photochemical agents, such as titanium oxide, that degrade air pollutants, previously adsorbed on carbon nanotubes and zeolites, thanks to the action of light that activates photodegradation reactions. All the samples were also characterized in terms of mechanical properties, adhesion to supports and water absorption. Furthermore, photodegradation tests were carried out by exposing plaster surfaces, wetted with a Rodamine solution, to Ultraviolet rays (UV) for different times. Plasters photodegradative capacity was evaluated and the results highlighted the fact that the designed admixtures showed an important photodegradative action, strictly dependent on the types and specific ratios of the selected additives.

“…Note-se que em 20 de dezembro de 2013, no âmbito do Regulamento (CE) nº1907/2006 do Parlamento Europeu e do Conselho de 18 de Dezembro de 2006 relativo ao registo, avaliação, autorização e restrição dos produtos químicos (REACH), foi decidido reclassificar o formaldeído na categoria 1B, presumindo-se que este tem um potencial cancerígeno para os seres humanos, com base em provas obtidas com animais. Segundo Packham [9], tanto a sua produção como o resultado da sua utilização estão associados, de algum modo, com a emissão de poluentes orgânicos. Assim, a sua emissão no meio ambiente e a exposição dos trabalhadores nas instalações de produção foi uma das principais preocupações de segurança [10,11].…”

ResumoNos últimos anos tem-se verificado um interesse crescente pela área das colas naturais, em particular na produção de placas de derivados de madeira para utilização no interior das construções. Estas colas parecem ser uma boa alternativa às colas sintéticas, derivadas do petróleo, pois, ao contribuírem para uma melhor qualidade do ar interior associada a uma menor incorporação de energia no produto final, apresentam vantagens interessantes em termos ambientais e de saúde. Nesse sentido fez-se uma revisão da bibliografia sobre a utilização laboratorial e mesmo semi-industrial de colas naturais em placas de derivados de madeira. São apresentados e discutidos alguns exemplos de materiais que estas colas aglutinam, bem como as suas características finais com vista a futuros desenvolvimentos experimentais de placas fabricadas a partir de resíduos agrícolas comuns. © 2015 Sociedade Portuguesa de Materiais (SPM).

This type of adhesives could be a good alternative for petroleum based synthetic adhesives as bio-based adhesives can contribute for healthier indoor environments and, simultaneously, present lower embodied energy. For the previous reasons a bibliographic review was conducted, on the use of bio-based adhesives for the production of wood-based building panels. Some examples of the adhesives, the type of applications and the characterization of the resulting products are presented and compared, bearing in mind contributing for a future increase of research in this area.
