**Preface to "Rheology and Processing of Polymers"**

This book focuses on recent fundamental and applied research on rheology and processing of polymers, covering the latest developments in the field. It demonstrates that the field of rheology and polymer processing is still gaining attention. Included within is an editorial and a variety of papers and reviews that serve communities of both academia and industry alike. In summary, the chapters collectively cover a wide range of topics, from polymer science to recycling, recyclability, and the reuse of polymers and their multiphase systems. They highlight cutting-edge research dealing with the rheology, innovative processing, recycling, and characterization of biopolymers and polymer-based products, polymer physics, composites, and modeling and simulations.
