We are very pleased to announce the Polymer Chemistry special collection on Sustainable Polymers
This special issue presents the most important developments in these fields in novel synthetic methodology and making use of modern methods such as continuous flow chemistry or energy-efficient photochemical reactions for sustainable polymer synthesis. The Guest Editors for this collection are:
- Professor Antoine Buchard (University of Bath, Belgium)
- Professor Tanja Junkers (Monash University, Australia)
In their Editorial, Guest Editors Antoine Buchard and Tanja Junkers discuss the importance of sustainability in polymers including in areas such as renewable polymers, green synthetic methods, improving polymer properties, degradability, chemical recycling, toxicology impact and design.
The full collection can be found here and we have also highlighted a selection of articles below. We hope you enjoy these, and the rest of the articles included in the collection.
