Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

At present, there are health and environmental problems concerning different population segments around the world. There is great demand to generate new materials for the treatment of chronic degenerative diseases, as well as materials which inhibit the proliferation of new drug-resistant microorganisms and solve water, air, and soil pollution. Finding novel technologies to solve these global problems is urgent due to population growth, and the synthesis of new, environmentally friendly, economical, and recyclable materials is necessary for taking care of our ecosystems. There are new functional materials, containing nanoparticles of a different nature, designed for health and environmental applications. These are known as nanocomposite materials, possessing two or more phases and acting in a functional way for specific applications. This Topic aims to disseminate scientific innovations related to nanocomposite materials currently being developed for health and environmental applications and understand the mechanisms by which they act, uncovering how research into these materials is solving different problems of global interest. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following: -Functionalized nanoparticles (ultrasound, microwave, and plasma) for applications in health and the environment; -Polymeric nanocomposites obtained through different manufacturing processes; -Functional materials for health applications; -Nanocomposites with applications in the environment and agriculture; -Nanocomposites as adsorbent and filter media for medical devices and water remediation; -Evolution trends and new nanocomposite designs.
