1 March 2020 : [Materials] (ISSN 1996-1944) Special Issue on Biobased Polymers

Dear Colleagues,

Biobased polymers, which are defined as sustainable polymeric materials produced from renewable biomass resources, are becoming some of the most important core materials in science and technology. Within this century, they are expected to replace the conventional oil-based polymers synthesized from fossil resources. To create a sustainable society, new technology and further development are required.

In this Special Issue, we aim to present valuable findings regarding “biobased polymers”. This research area covers diverse fields, including organic chemistry, polymer chemistry, microbiology, biotechnology, chemical engineering, materials science, and materials physics, and others.

Considering your prominent contribution to this extensively studied research topic, I would like to cordially invite you to submit an article to this Special Issue. Original articles, communications, and review articles discussing the latest findings in the field of biobased polymers are all welcome. I would be very grateful if you could consider being one of our authors.
