Special Issue Information
Polymers have a wide range of applications and are of interest in multidisciplinary subject areas including materials science, chemistry, physics, biomedical engineering, biotechnology, and healthcare. In Saudi Arabia, researchers have explored various synthetic and natural polymers in terms of fabrication and materials characterization, targeting their potential applications to a number of biological and engineering applications. This has led to collaborative research and a sharp rise in polymer-related publications originating from Saudi Arabia in recent years. The aim of this Special Issue is to publish high quality and impactful research on “polymer science” conducted either in Saudi Arabia or by researchers affiliated with Saudi Arabian institutes. The topics of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
Polymer chemistry and physics;
Polymer-based composites and nanocomposites;
Biodegradable polymers;
Biopolymers and bio-based polymers;
Polymers for biomedical and dental applications;
Polymer fabrication techniques and advanced characterization;
Polymers for tissue engineering scaffolds;
Smart and innovative polymers;
Polymeric fibers and nanofibers;
Polymeric adhesive biomaterials;
Polymers for water treatment;
Polymers for water desalination;
Polymers for energy applications.
We hope this Special Issue will highlight the state of the art and future directions in polymer science and technology research in Saudi Arabia.
