Polymers Chemistry, Engineering and Advanced Applications

Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this new collection considers state-of-the-art developments and research in polymer science, engineering, and its advanced applications such as advanced polymers, composites, and nanocomposites, and the role of polymers in the progress of green chemistry and engineering. Polymers are studied in fields as diverse as polymer science (polymer chemistry, engineering, and polymer physics), biophysics, biochemistry, and materials science and engineering. Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) and nanocomposites (PMNCs) are widely used in high-tech material structures such as automotive, marine, and aerospace industries. Their impact on the physical and mechanical performance is mainly due to their reinforcing agents, fibers (glass, carbon, aramid), or nanofibers (MMT, CNTs, graphene, etc) but also due to a perfect mastery of the matrix/reinforcement interface.

Advanced polymers, also known as engineering polymers or high-performance polymers, are synthetic polymers with exceptional mechanical, thermal, chemical, and electrical properties (high thermostability, thermostability, frost resistance, hydrophobicity, high dielectric indices, etc.). This collection focuses on a specific application goal: the creation of new polymeric materials with improved properties.

Keywords: Multidisciplinary polymer approach, Polymer Chemistry, Polymer Engineering, Polymer Physics, Synthetic Polymers, Mechanical, Thermal, Chemical and Electrical Properties.

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 9, SDG 12.
