Polymers & Nanotechnology

Scope

Polymer Science and Nanotechnology are the most promising fields in today’s world with an ever-growing and never-ending research scope. So, the Journal of Polymer & Composites has come up with a special issue where researchers can submit their research works using both these trending topics, where they will be using nanotechnology along with polymer science and will give revolutionizing research to the whole world. The use of nanotechnology in polymer science or vice versa is not new, it has been done for ages, but the term nanotechnology came into existence a little later. Nanotechnology and polymer science have already given us some miraculous research like Polymer matrix-based nanocomposites, Nanocrystalline metals, etc. If we are talking about the products developed via nanotechnology, then we will have to mention polymer science as well, as nanotechnology and polymer science go hand in hand. Polymers are the only materials that provide desired flexibility, processability, and functionality to the Nanoproducts. Nanotechnology and polymer science have various applications in diverse fields, like medicine, electrical, electronics, chemistry, computer science, civil engineering, etc. Recently the use of polymer science in nanotechnology has increased from using it in biomedical applications such as targeted drug delivery to electrical applications such as electrospun nanofibers. No matter in which field but whenever and wherever nanotechnology and polymer science have been used together the result has always been a boon to the world. These emerging fields together are the best pair possible.
