Nanostructured Polymer-Based Materials: From Synthesis to Applications
This special issue belongs to the section "Polymer Applications".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, polymeric nanostructured materials have attracted a great deal of interest from researchers because of the possibility of tuning their features on the basis of the chemical and structural composition.
This Special Issue focuses not only on new advances in applications in widespread fields (e.g., biomedicine, bioelectronics, and organic photovoltaics (OPVs)), but also on the development of the sustainable processing of these materials. We will attach great importance to the advanced characterization of the nanostructured materials with the aim of carefully addressing the structure–properties relationship. Topics of our interest include, but are not limited to: (i) sustainable synthesis of polymeric nanoparticles; (ii) self-assembled nanostructured films; (iii) hierarchical organization of polymer nanostructures; (iv) new materials for the synthesis of organic nanoparticles (polymers, block copolymers, etc.); (v) hybrid polymeric/inorganic nanomaterials.
All manuscripts inserted into the framework of various applications (biomedical, biosensoristic, OPV, optoelectronic, etc.) will be welcome.
