Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Worldwide, the perception of environmental concerns has caused the appearance of sustainable and eco-friendly green materials, which are renewable resource-based, recyclable, and biodegradable. The utilization of renewable and recycled resources decreases the demand for petrochemicals and minerals, thus preventing natural resource depletion. Commercial products, as well as their wide range of applications, are now being developed based on green composites. Green composites are considered the next generation of sustainable composite materials produced using natural/green materials in order to advance sustainability, eco-efficiency, and green chemistry, as these green materials garner considerable attention from academia and industry. Nowadays, green composites have been used in various applications including biomedical, energy, automobile, toys, sports, and so on. This Special Issue aims to present the latest progress in green composites’ fabrication, characterization, testing, and applications.
