Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Advanced Polymeric and Amorphous Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Recent technological advancements in the use of polymeric and amorphous materials have resulted in the synthesis of innovative and multifunctional materials. Some of the most intriguing and important applications of these materials have dealt with enhancing their mechanical and thermal properties, aiming at delivering stronger, lighter, and more durable polymeric materials under extreme conditions.

This Special Issue aims at highlighting recent scientific advancements in the field of the synthesis of novel polymeric materials possessing novel mechanical and thermal properties. It will also focus both on basic and applied research in the abovementioned fields. This Special Issue will host original research and review articles aiming to provide new scientific knowledge in, but not limited to, the following fields:

• Novel polymeric and amorphous materials' synthesis;
• Novel polymeric and amorphous materials’ thermal properties;
• Novel polymeric and amorphous materials’ mechanical properties;
• Novel polymeric and amorphous materials’ applications;
• Novel polymeric and amorphous materials in extreme environments;
• Structural properties of novel polymeric and amorphous materials.
