Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The growing demand for finite fossil resources, the economy and the relative environmental pollution has produced a growing awareness of a change. The damage caused to the environment over time is increasingly evident, and climate change is proof of this. The development of alternative and environmentally friendly innovations, combined with the use of natural, renewable and sustainable resources, is proving to be the most promising industrial strategy for the future. In this Special Issue, contributions regarding the production and use of synthetic and natural polymers or a combination of them, which come from green processes, are welcome. In addition to innovative production methods, the development of new applications can also fall within the topic, including but not limited to engineering, pharmaceuticals, food, robotics and the environment.
