Editorial on Emerging Trends in Polymeric Materials Research and Applications

Polymeric materials especially nanocomposites(Graphene,MXene based)are widely used in food,electronics,biomedical,batteries,energy storage,fuel cells,wastewater treatment,and automotive[1].Nanocomposites are stronger,lighter,and stiffer and can improve properties such as mechanical strength,electrical conductivity,thermal stability,flame retardancy,surface appearance,optical clarity and chemical resistance.Current research is focus­ing on nanocomposites applications[1-3],CO_(2)cap­turing polymers[4],making polymers degradable[5-7]especially developing bio-composites[8]and green composites[9,10]which are degradable。
