Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, functional polymer materials have attracted great attention for various applications, such as anti-fouling, oil/water separation, anti-freezing, and so on. The development of such materials is so fast that we need a Special Issue to collect important information for readers.
This Special Issue is concerned with functional polymer materials for various applications. We hope that we can make some contribution for the readers of Polymers to easily keep up with the development of these materials.
