Materials Advances is delighted to announce an open call for papers to our new themed collection focussing on the synthesis of high performance materials from natural building blocks!
Guest Editors: Samantha L. Kristufek (Texas Tech University, USA) and Eleftheria Roumeli (University of Washington, USA)
The goal of this themed collection is to bring together contributions concerned with the most recent advances in constructing high performance sustainable materials using natural materials. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Design and synthesis of natural product-based polymers
- Use of biomass in high performance materials
- SynBio or engineered proteins towards high performance materials
- Formation of sustainable concrete
- Scalability of the synthesis of natural product-based monomers and/or polymers
- Extraction and processing methods of bio-based starting materials
- LCA or TEA of novel materials from natural products
- Novel and circular approaches to materials from natural products
You are welcome to submit an article within the scope before 1 December 2023.
If you are interested in contributing to this collection, please get in touch with the Editorial Office by email.
Please note that accepted manuscripts will be subject to an article-processing charge (APC) unless your institute has an existing agreement with the RSC that covers publications in our gold open access journals. More information about charges, discounts, and waivers are available here.
