Sustainable Innovation in the Production of Green Materials for Advanced Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

Exploring green materials for the development of advanced technologies to improvise the eco-system situation has attracted significant interest from eminent researchers and industrial communities to proceed with new scientific/practical approaches. Green materials technology has prevailed the scientific community to address the influential environmental problems by producing less pollution in the environment. The development of new green materials with considerations of sustainable innovations is one the most important efforts to establish an environmentally friendly concept. Main factors such as synthesis techniques, fabrication, optimization process, performance evaluation, and reliability will play vital roles in the development of green materials for better performance in advanced technologies to reach the global society goal to enhance the existent eco-system situation, followed by the optimal utilization of renewable resources in advanced production processes. As climate change intensifies around the world and the environmental concerns increase rapidly, it is utterly urgent for the scientific community to understand and utilize the principles of sustainable innovations in green materials production and apply the gained knowledge in this regard towards advanced technologies. Green materials are designed to be either reusable, recyclable, or compostable, or even all three. Waste reduction, smart growth and sustainable development, energy efficiency, and renewable energy are some of the beneficial aspects associated with the development of green materials and their integration into advanced technologies. This Special Issue will cover both experimental and theoretical studies. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
