Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymers have a good position in industrial and medical applications for years. However, it does not mean that all knowledge about polymers is already known. Further research is needed to find new ways of obtaining polymers, modifying their properties in situ and ex situ, and filling the gaps where they can be used.
In this Special Issue, we encourage authors to share their experiences in the field of the broadly understood “New Possibilities of Obtaining and Applications of Polymers in Industry and Medicine”. We believe that your work will contribute to popularizing the potential use of polymers in the industry and medicine. Reviews as well as original papers describing the preparation, modification, and chemical and physical characterization of polymers are welcome in this Special Issue.
