Polymeric Nanocomposites: Synthesis and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest advancements in research on polymeric nanocomposites, focusing on synthesis, characterization, and multifaceted applications, harnessing innovative synthesis techniques. The applications of polymeric nanocomposites are wide-ranging and impactful. Biomedical applications include drug delivery for precision therapy and 3D-printed scaffolds for regenerative medicine. In the environmental realm, polymeric nanocomposite films/membranes contribute to water purification and pollutant removal. Moreover, industrial applications encompass coatings, sensors, and additive manufacturing.

This Special Issue invites original research articles and reviews that delve into the diverse aspects of polymeric nanocomposites. Topics of interest include:

• Novel synthesis strategies and design principles for polymeric nanocomposites
• Advances in characterizing nanocomposites structures and properties
• Responsive and functional nanocomposites for biomedical and environmental applications
• Industrial implementations and technological innovations utilizing polymeric nanocomposites

We welcome contributions that will not only deepen our understanding of polymeric nanocomposites but also inspire novel applications across disciplines. This collection of work promises to foster collaboration, stimulate further research, and accelerate the translation of polymeric nanocomposite research into real-world solutions.
