Environmental Pollution and Control by Polymer Materials

Dear Colleagues,

With the rapid development of economy and increasing demands of consumers, the amount of polymer materials used has tremendously increased globally. Polymer materials can be used as functional materials for environmental governance, such as air purification agents, oil–water separation membranes, ion exchange resins, etc. However, the non-biodegradable characteristics of polymer materials create serious environment problems, causing high levels of soil pollution, air pollution, water pollution, etc. In this context, this Special Issue aims to gather articles (research or review) in the field of the application of polymer materials in environmental governance and advanced treatment technology of environmental pollution caused by polymer materials.
