Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the development of society, bio-based polymers have become a widely used material. They have attracted more and more attention in the fields of polymer chemistry, biochemistry, materials science, medicine, food science, etc., due to their impressive environmental performance. Compared with traditional materials, they have greater advantages and potential. This Special Issue aims to showcase in-depth research on the synthesis, processing, recycling, and application of bio-based polymers. Its topics include, but are not limited to:
- Advances in modified bio-polymers to improve their application.
- Nanomaterials based on bio-polymers for agriculture, industry, medicinal, and pharmaceutical application.
- Biodegradable polymers based on bio-polymers.
Colleagues are welcome to actively contribute.
Prof. Dr. San-Lang Wang
