Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The relationship between processing, structure, and properties is key to the development of advanced polymeric materials with optimized performance. This topic collection invites contributions that explore the design, fabrication, characterization, and application of polymeric materials, blends, composites, and nanocomposites. Special attention will be given to studies proposing innovative, sustainable, and environmentally friendly approaches. Works focusing on advanced processing technologies such as electrospinning, solution blow spinning, 3D printing, and other emerging techniques will also be considered, especially when applied to areas such as pollutant sequestration, sensing, biomedical applications, and the development of sustainable strategies for material recycling. The aim is to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art and future perspectives in polymer science and engineering, with a particular focus on sustainability and technological innovation.

The development of new photoinitiators for photocurable systems has gained increasing interest in response to regulatory and environmental requirements, including efficient absorption in the UV/Vis range and reduced toxicity. Among emerging light-sensitive compounds, oxime esters have attracted growing attention as efficient radical photoinitiators. In this paper, five series of oxime esters based on carbazole, coumarin, carbazole–coumarin, phenothiazine, and triphenylamine scaffolds were described. Their high performance in photopolymerization processes was presented, demonstrating their ability to act as both type I and type II photoinitiators, as confirmed by high monomer conversion degrees. These data highlight oxime esters as versatile photoinitiating systems and provide a basis for further structural optimization aimed at improving water solubility and enabling comprehensive cytotoxicity assessment.
