Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to invite you to contribute in the Special Issue of the MDPI journal Polymers (IF 3.426), entitled ‘’High-Performance Polyethylene’’. This collection of contributed articles will summarize recent advances in the development of polyethylene materials and related products, and the advancement of relevant technologies.
The following topics will be specifically addressed in the Special Issue: polyethylene fibers; composites, hybrids, and blends; metamaterials; thin films and membranes; biomedical, energy storage, tribological, structural, and smart applications; additive, low-cost, and eco-compliant technological approaches; and long-term durability and fatigue resistance. Submissions devoted to multidisciplinary issues such as novel techniques of structure and property characterization; micromechanics; interaction with living objects; recycling and ocean pollution remediation and management will be particularly welcome.
