BIO trial
BIO trial (NCT03412162), also the Biology, Identity, and Opportunity Study: a Northwestern University randomized trial testing the 8-week Identity Project ethnic-racial identity intervention in 300 high school freshmen, measuring cortisol, sleep, cognition, and academic outcomes.
Bio-based acrylic acid
Bio-based acrylic acid is acrylic acid made from renewable biomass instead of fossil propylene, via lactic acid, 3-HP, or glycerol routes; bio-based ethyl acrylates reached market in 2024.
Bio-based acrylonitrile
Bio-based acrylonitrile, or bio-ACN, is acrylonitrile made from renewable feedstocks like glycerol rather than petroleum propylene, serving as a drop-in for carbon fiber and plastics.
Bio-based epoxy resins
Bio-based epoxy resins are epoxy thermosets that replace fossil-derived building blocks like bisphenol A with monomers or curing agents from renewable biomass such as plant oils and lignin.
Bio-based isoprene
Bio-based isoprene, or bio-isoprene, is isoprene, the key monomer for synthetic rubber, made from renewable sugars by engineered microbes instead of petrochemical processes, though commercial efforts have stayed in R&D.
Bio-based para-xylene
Bio-based para-xylene (bio-PX, renewable paraxylene) is para-xylene, 1,4-dimethylbenzene, produced from biomass or renewable carbon instead of petroleum naphtha; as a drop-in chemical it enables bio-based PET for bottles and polyester.
Bio-based solvents
Bio-based solvents are solvents produced from biomass such as agricultural crops, forestry residues, and organic wastes, used in green chemistry to replace petroleum-based solvents and cut toxicity and VOC emissions.
Bio-based styrene

Bio-Dome is a 1996 American comedy directed by Jason Bloom, starring Pauly Shore and Stephen Baldwin as slackers sealed inside an ecological research facility for a year.
Bio-layer interferometry
Bio-layer interferometry (BLI) is a label-free, dip-and-read optical technique that measures biomolecular binding kinetics, affinity, and concentration using disposable biosensor tips, widely used in antibody discovery and drug screening.
Bio-oil upgrading
Bio-oil upgrading is the set of physical, chemical, and catalytic treatments that convert crude bio-oil from fast pyrolysis of biomass into a drop-in fuel, mainly by hydrodeoxygenation and catalytic cracking.
