Summary
The increasing daily demand, environmental concerns and high development of technologies have made it necessary and urgent to develop convenient, environment-friendly and multifunctional materials and even devices in printing and packaging areas. Green, recycled and intelligent technologies have attracted an increasing attention from researchers to manufacturers due to the significantly economic and social benefits. Thus, significant researches have been carried out to reduce pollution and enhance intelligent level, such as water-based productions, flexible electronic technologies and so on. The facile, high efficiency and smart technologies may promote the green development of printing and packaging. This Special Issue "Green, Recycled and Intelligent Technologies in Printing and Packaging" mainly focuses on the current research progress of the green, recycled and intelligent technologies in printing and packaging, including materials, devices and even simulation in these areas. The scope of interests includes but is not limited to the following topics:
(1) Green preparation of environment-friendly materials in printing and packaging;
(2) Recycling of waste packaging materials, such as plastic, metal, paper, etc.;
(3) The functional materials, including electric, optical, thermal resistance, magnetic, hydrophobic materials, etc.;
(4) The green fabrication technologies for preparation of smart devices;
(5) Reusing of natural materials, such as lignin, cellulose, protein, etc.;
(6) The calculation and simulation technologies during the materials and devices preparation.
