What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date

His Cellulose research spans across into areas like Lignin and Hydrolysis. He links relevant research areas such as Lignin and Beech in the realm of Botany. In most of his Beech studies, his work intersects topics such as Botany. He conducted interdisciplinary study in his works that combined Organic chemistry and Polymer chemistry. In his research, he performs multidisciplinary study on Catalysis and Transesterification. Shiro Saka incorporates Transesterification and Biodiesel production in his studies. Shiro Saka integrates Biodiesel production with Biodiesel in his research. He brings together Biodiesel and Methanol to produce work in his papers. While working in this field, Shiro Saka studies both Methanol and Catalysis.

Shiro Saka most often published in these fields:

  • Organic chemistry (92.12%)
  • Catalysis (43.64%)
  • Cellulose (32.73%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2019)?

  • Organic chemistry (78.57%)
  • Biochemistry (42.86%)
  • Catalysis (35.71%)

In recent works Shiro Saka was focusing on the following fields of study:

Yield (engineering) is intertwined with Metallurgy and Composite material in his research. Metallurgy is frequently linked to Yield (engineering) in his study. He regularly links together related areas like Softwood in his Composite material studies. He performs multidisciplinary studies into Softwood and Hardwood in his work. He bridges between several scientific fields such as Kinetics and Phase (matter) in his study of Quantum mechanics. Kinetics is closely attributed to Quantum mechanics in his study. Phase (matter) and Organic chemistry are commonly linked in his work. His study on Organic chemistry is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Decomposition. His studies link Oxidative cleavage with Biochemistry.

Between 2016 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Kinetics and molecular mechanisms for the gas-phase degradation of levoglucosan as a cellulose gasification intermediate (25 citations)
  • Characterization of three tissue fractions in corn (Zea mays) cob (22 citations)
  • Hydrocarbon production from coconut oil by hydrolysis coupled with hydrogenation and subsequent decarboxylation (22 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited works focused on:

  • Cellulose
  • Polysaccharide
  • Lignin

His Quantum mechanics research is linked to Kinetics and Phase (matter). His study on Kinetics is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Quantum mechanics. His Phase (matter) study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Organic chemistry. His work in Organic chemistry is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Gas phase. His work on Softwood expands to the thematically related Pulp and paper industry. His work blends Pyrolysis and Char studies together. He combines Botany and Pith in his research. Shiro Saka integrates Pith with Botany in his study. He incorporates Production (economics) and Macroeconomics in his studies.
