Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, polymer composites have been used as a tool for applications such as agriculture, industrial, and medical uses. These composites have helped the agricultural field to resist salinity, heavy metals, drought, combat viruses, and other plant pathogens. Polymer composites have become an integral part of a wide range of industries, i.e., automobiles and aircraft parts. Additionally, polymer composites were used to increase the efficiency of herbicides and pesticides and therefore allow the use of lower doses, reducing pollution and cleaning up existing pollutants. Polymer composites are essential in many health and medical applications, including MRI scanners, X-ray couches, mammography plates, antimicrobial agents, etc.
This Special Issue aims to compile original and cutting-edge research discussing the use of Polymer-Based Composites/Nanocomposites in the Agricultural, Industrial, Environmental, and Medical fields.
