Abstract
Over the last 20 years, many chemical reactions or processes have been studied using microwave irradiation as heating source. Nowadays, microwave-assisted functionalization of materials and nanomaterials is a rapidly growing field of research. Indeed, for their elaboration with specific and relevant properties, post synthetic modification of the surface is one of the critical steps. Most of the time, they could not be synthesized directly with their properties and so their surfaces need to be tailored for their final applications. In the last few years various surfaces (polymer resins, porous materials, metal organic frameworks, inorganic nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes…) have been evaluated with reported reaction rate accelerations and higher yields. The present contribution will give an overview of this field and will focus on the advantages of microwave functionalization and future trends of this field of research.

Advances of Heterocyclic Chemistry with Pesticide Activity
Global food safety and security will continue to be a global concern for the next 50 years and beyond. Plant diseases have had a significant impact on food safety and security throughout the entire food chain, from primary production to consumption. While conventional chemical pesticides have been traditionally used for ...read more
Calculation design of covalent/metal organic framework based catalysts
This research area combines theoretical computation and screening with machine learning for the design of covalent/metal organic framework-based catalysts, bridging the disciplines of organic chemistry, physical chemistry, computational chemistry, materials science, and machine learning. It covers several critical aspects: designing and synthesizing organic catalysts for improved performance, applying computational methods ...read more
Carbohydrates conversion in biofuels and bioproducts
Biomass pretreatment, hydrolysis, and saccharification of carbohydrates, and sugars bioconversion in biofuels and bioproducts within a biorefinery framework. Carbohydrates derived from woody biomass, agricultural wastes, algae, sewage sludge, or any other lignocellulosic feedstock are included in this issue. Simulation, techno-economic analysis, and life cycle analysis of a biorefinery process are ...read more
Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
