Main Future Trends in Polymer Sciences

The advisory board and editors of Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics wondered what the most crucial areas of the field in the future may be to learn what the future holds for polymer research. They highlighted three key topics after taking into account the scientific merits and socioeconomic benefits: Nearly half of the authors concluded that one of the most significant subjects in the future will be the creation and discovery of new types of polymers with unique properties and uses. The development of novel synthesis techniques and polymers for a sustainable and circular economy came next.
