Environmentally Friendly Polymers and Polymer Composites

Abstract

This Special Issue is intended to compile the most recent research works in any polymer or polymer composite with a marked environmental efficiency with the main aim of using them at industrial scale. Research on any biobased polymer, biodegradable polymer or both biobased/biodegradable polymer (and new additives or blends) is welcome. All manufacturing processes, e.g., injection molding, extrusion, electrospinning, cast film, melt spinning, rotational moulding, hot-press moulding, 3D printing, and so on, fit this Special Issue and could help to reveal the real potential of these materials. In addition, original research on polymer-based composites in which, the matrix, the reinforcement/filler or both could be obtained from renewable resources is welcome, e.g., research on natural fiber reinforced plastics (NFRPs) and wood plastic composites (WPCs).
