Polymer for Energy Generation

Scope

Judging by the breadth of research going on about the use of polymers for energy generation, one can quickly figure out how important this is going to be in the future, which of course necessitates the existence of this topic in our special issue series and hence Journal of Polymers & Composites have started this special issue “Polymer for Energy Generation”. This special issue aims to provide cutting-edge research on polymers for energy generation. In several sectors, including transportation, packaging, healthcare, and buildings, polymers are already essential in reducing energy and resource use but now scientists have started several avenues for the usage of polymers in energy generation also. Many types of research have been going on in this field whether on energy assembly or energy storage. Nowadays scientists have been working on energy application schemes for polymers, due to their controllable resistance over a wide range, cost-effectiveness, high conductivity (>103 S cm−1), light weight, flexibility, and excellent electrochemical properties.
