Novel Polymeric Materials from Biomass Resources

Guest Editor: Message from the Guest Editor

Dr. Rosana Moriana Torró Dear Colleagues, Division of Bioeconomy and Health, Department of Materials During recent years, motivation for sustainable and Surface Design, Cellulose development has increased significantly, leading to a Unit, RISE-Research Institute of Sweden, Stockholm, Sweden major interest in the research and development of new polymeric materials from biomass resources. [email protected] This Special Issue aims to cover all research aspects related to the conversion of biomass resources into sustainable

Deadline for manuscript polymeric materials, including the extraction and submissions: purification of natural building blocks and biopolymers, closed (31 August 2021) their modification and processing, as well as their characterization and degradability in different environmental agents, in order to validate their use as alternatives for fossil-based materials in specific applications. Therefore, contributions highlighting the progress in fundamental research dealing with biomass structural characterization and establishment of biorefinery processes to obtain molecular compounds are welcome, along with those concerning the valorization of biomass into specific industrial applications.

Editor-in-Chief Message from the Editor-in-Chief

Prof. Dr. Alexander Böker Since its foundation in 2009, Polymers has developed into Lehrstuhl für Polymermaterialien an internationally renowned, extremely successful open und Polymertechnologie, access journal. The editorial team and the editorial board University of Potsdam, 14476 Potsdam-Golm, Germany dedicatedly combine open-access publishing and high- quality rigorous peer reviewing. The performance of the journal has proven this strategy to be well-suited and highly successful. This is reflected in the increasing impact factor of Polymers, the most recent one being 3.426.

I would like to invite you to contribute to the success of the journal by sending us your high quality research papers. We would be pleased to welcome you as one of our authors.
