  Polymer and Composite Materials for Climate-Responsive Building Envelopes: PRISMA-Guided Evidence Mapping, Bibliometric Analysis, and a Structure-Property-Performance Framework

  By Kamlesh Kumhar, Ravish Kumar

  Abstract: The choice of matrix and reinforcement, filler adjustment, control of interface, porosity, processing methods, and multifunctional design is becoming more and more significant in constructing polymer/composite building envelopes. The resulting evidence, however, is scattered across the fields of polymer/composite science and building-performance research. This review thus charts the landscape keeping the material-science heart intact: composite design, processing/manufacturing, characterization, structure-property relationships, durability, and application performance. A PRISMA-guided title/abstract evidence map was …
