Polymer Composites and Nanocomposites
Section Information
The Section Polymer Composites and Nanocomposites of Polymers aims to rapidly publish high quality contributions on fundamental and applied science of polymer composite materials. Understanding the processing–structure–properties relationship is crucial for the development of advanced materials. Thus, we encourage the submission of manuscripts that provide novel insights and reviews that report significant advances in the field. Manuscripts addressing key challenges faced by the multiple application areas of composites, such as transport, energy, infrastructure, maritime, health care technology, and recreational products, are welcomed.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Design of polymer composites and nanocomposites
- Fiber-reinforced polymers
- Biomedical composites
- Structural composites
- Multifunctional composites
- Biomimetic and eco composites
