“…Research has shown that certain biomass-based concrete materials, such as those containing hemp or flax, may exhibit increased resistance to carbonation due to their chemical composition and specific porosity [186]. However, they may also be more prone to cracking due to their low elasticity modulus and moisture absorption capacity, necessitating specific design and formulation to ensure long-term durability [187]. Environmentally, biomass-based concrete materials offer significant benefits, including plants' ability to absorb carbon dioxide during growth, thereby reducing the overall carbon footprint of constructed structures [188].…”

The growing importance of environmental efficiency in reducing carbon emissions has prompted scientists around the world to intensify their efforts to prevent the destructive effects of a changing climate and a warming planet. Global carbon emissions rose by more than 40% in 2021, leading to significant variations in the planet’s weather patterns. Nevertheless, a significant proportion of natural resources continue to be exploited. To prepare for this challenge, it is essential to implement a sustainable approach in the construction industry. Biobased materials are made primarily from renewable raw materials like hemp, straw, miscanthus, and jute. These new materials provide excellent thermal and acoustic performance and make optimum use of local natural resources such as agricultural waste. Nowadays, cement is one of the most important construction materials. In an attempt to meet this exciting challenge, biobased materials with low-carbon binders are one of the proposed solutions to create a more insulating and less polluting material. The aim of this review is to investigate and to analyze the impact of the incorporation of different types of biobased materials on the mechanical, thermal, and hygric performance of a mix using different types of binder.

Abstract:: Chitosan (CS) is a polymer made up of mainly deacetylated β-1,4 D-glucosamine units, which is part of a large group of D-glucosamine oligomers known as chitooligosaccharides, which can be obtained from chitin, most abundant natural polymer after cellulose and central component of the shrimp exoskeleton. It is known that it can be used for the development of materials, among which its use stands out in wastewater treatment (removal of metal ions, dyes, and as a membrane in purification processes), food industry (anti-cholesterol and fat, packaging material, preservative, and food additive), agriculture (seed and fertilizer coating, controlled release agrochemicals), pulp and paper industry (surface treatment, adhesive paper), cosmetics (body creams, lotions, etc.), in the engineering of tissues, wound healing, as excipients for drug administration, gels, membranes, nanofibers, beads, microparticles, nanoparticles, scaffolds, sponges, and diverse biological ones, specifically antibacterial and antifungal activities. This article reviews the main contributions published in the last ten years regarding the use and application of CS in medical chemistry. The applications exposed here involve regenerative medicine in the design of bioprocesses and tissue engineering, Pharmaceutical sciences to obtain biomaterials, polymers, biomedicine, and the use of nanomaterials and nanotechnology, toxicology, and Clinical Pharmaceuticals, emphasizing the perspectives and the direction that can take research in this area.
