Summary
This conference-linked Special Issue will curate high-quality original research and authoritative reviews on sustainable polymer materials and green functional polymer technologies enabling the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Anchored to the 3rd International Conference on Futuristic Materials for Sustainable Development Goals (FMSDG-2026), scheduled for 9-10 April 2026 at Chandigarh University (India), the Special Issue will provide a dedicated platform for extended versions of selected conference contributions, alongside invited manuscripts from global experts.
The scope includes (but is not limited to): bio-based and biodegradable polymers; advanced biopolymers and bioplastics; polymer recycling/upcycling and circular economy strategies; polymer nanocomposites and hybrid materials; polymer membranes and sorbents for water purification, desalination, and pollutant removal; functional polymer coatings for corrosion protection and durability; polymer electrolytes and binders for next-generation energy storage; smart and stimuli-responsive polymers; and AI-enabled polymer design and processing. Contributions integrating green synthesis, life-cycle assessment, sustainable processing, and structure-property-performance correlations are particularly encouraged.
