This, combined with the associated environmental issues around global warming and environmental pollution, has resulted in a drive for scientific research to alleviate the dependence of society on chemical compound/polymer derived from fossil fuels.

The biomass (such as cellulose and lignin) of carbohydrates are rich in hydroxyl makes it through the hydrothermal catalytic hydrogenation, dehydration and oxidation etc directly into polyols, lactic acid and 5 - HMF important ideal oxygen chemical raw material. Cellulose, sugar, starch, natural fiber and vegetable oil in these renewable resources have been used as green monomers or intermediates for polymer preparation and polymer materials. Moreover, the development and application of these renewable biomass as a platform for preparing of green chemistry will improve their utilization, contribute to the protection of the environment and reduce dependence on petrochemical products.
