State-of-the-Art Polymer Science and Technology in Italy (2019,2020)

Dear Colleagues,

Polymer Science and Technology in Italy represents a long-lasting and interdisciplinary field in which chemistry, physics, and engineering mix together to produce studies which are considered among the best in the world. Several research groups coming from very different fields often collaborate in the design of the material, of the part, and of the processing technology to obtain innovative products with outstanding, new, and smart properties. Examples of the contributions of Italian research in the field are spread out in the top Journals and Conferences throughout the world.

This Special Issue aims at collecting an overview of Polymer Science and Technology in Italy. Research topics include but are not limited to:

Polymer composites and nanocomposites;
Biodegradable polymers;
Polymers with special properties and smart polymers;
Advanced characterization of polymers;
New and innovative polymer processes;
Modeling of polymer processing;
Polymeric materials in Additive Manufacturing;
Process–properties relationships;
Polymeric parts for special applications.

The only limitation is that the main part of the study has to have been carried out in Italy or by Italian researchers.

We do hope that this Special Issue can portray the state of the Polymeric Research in Italy and give the rest of the world a bright image of what is carried out in the field in our country.
