Synthesis and Application of Advanced Polymeric Materials
This special issue belongs to the section “Materials Science and Engineering“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced Polymeric Materials have a large variety of applications in many domains of life because of their outstanding physical, chemical, and mechanical properties. Polymeric Materials meet the desired demands for special applications and improve the attributes of materials.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the recent scientific progress regarding the synthesis of new advanced polymeric materials with improved physical, chemical mechanical, and thermal properties. This Special Issue will consist of original research and review articles, providing new scientific insights into the following topics (though this list is not exhaustive):
- New advanced polymeric materials’ design;
- New advanced polymeric materials’ applications;
- New advanced polymeric materials in environmental applications;
- New advanced polymeric materials in medical applications;
- New advanced polymeric materials’ mechanical properties;
- New advanced polymeric materials’ thermal properties;
- New advanced polymeric materials’ dielectric properties;
- New advanced polymeric materials’ surface properties;
- New advanced polymeric materials’ biological properties;
- New advanced polymeric materials’ delivery properties.
