Summary
Due to increases of environmental problems issues as well as decreases of petroleum-based resources, many researchers have greatly attempted to develop bio-based renewable materials and their related technologies in order to solve those concerns. Those technology developments have been grown continuously. In addition, investigations and improvements of polymers, biomaterials, composites, and renewable materials can cause a major impact on such solutions.
This Special Issue, “Polymeric and Renewable Materials for Future Applications”, focuses on high quality research covering the current trends of design, development, fabrications, and characterizations on polymers, biomaterials, composites, and renewable materials with the aim of obtaining novel property and emerging applications.
