Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polyurethane, cellulose, and their composites have been widely used in hitherto unimagined areas due to their excellent properties. Along with fast-increasing consumption in recent years, the demand for advanced polyurethane and cellulose-based composites has grown rapidly. Accordingly, this Special Issue seeks to showcase research papers, short communications, and review articles that focus on innovation in polyurethane and cellulose-based materials, including material synthesis, modification, and engineering.
