Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is devoted to environmentally friendly polymeric materials. Review articles, original papers and short communications of preliminary, but significant, results are welcome.
The aim of this Special Issue is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible; there is no restriction on the length of the manuscripts. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
The main topics of this Special Issue are as follows:
- Eco-friendly materials: related results and applications;
- Polymers of biological origin: synthesis and characterization.
Interdisciplinary and/or multidisciplinary papers are welcome.
Dr. Ana-Maria Manea-Saghin
