Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue has a special focus on eco-friendly polymers, polymer composites, hybrid polymeric materials, nanocomposites, and blends and polymeric materials for sustainability.
This Special Issue will consider recent advancements in the research and development in synthesis, characterisation, processing, morphology, structure, properties and applications of advanced polymeric materials. Recent advances in the synthesis of polymeric materials by improving the interfaces (of inorganic/organic nature) using different fillers, coupling agents have shown strong potential to generate materials with better sustainability properties.
Fundamental advances in nanocomposite blends and nanostructured polymeric materials in environmental sustainability applications highlight this Issue.
This Special Issue aims to present original articles, reviews, short communications, research notes, analyses, and case studies on topics relating to advances in sustainable polymer materials.
