Advances in Polymers, Composites, Nanocomposites and Biocomposites
This Special Issue will present selected high-quality papers from the IV International Conference on Polymers, Composites, Nanocomposites and Biocomposites (ICPCNB-2026). It aims to highlight recent advances in the design, synthesis, characterization, processing, and applications of advanced polymeric and composite materials, with a particular emphasis on sustainable and multifunctional materials for engineering, environmental, and biomedical applications. The Special Issue welcomes both fundamental and applied research that contributes to the development of next-generation materials and technologies.
Topics include:
- Advanced polymers and polymer blends
- Polymer composites and nanocomposites
- Biocomposites and bio-based materials
- Polymer nanocomposites and multifunctional composites
- Natural fiber- and cellulose-based composites
- Nanocellulose, nanochitin, and nanostarch materials
- Smart, hybrid, and high-performance composite materials
- Processing, manufacturing, and recycling technologies
- Structure–property relationships and materials characterization
- Modeling and simulation of composite materials
- Nanomaterials for environmental and biomedical applications
- Sustainable materials and life cycle analysis
