About this Research Topic
In the field of modern materials science, flexible polymer-based nanocomposites and nanofibers are proving to be indispensable. However, their development is currently hampered by inadequate mechanical properties, limited functionalities, and challenges in scaling up production. These limitations are stalling progress in burgeoning industries that depend on the unique capabilities of high-performance flexible materials. Moreover, the integration of advanced flexible polymers plays an essential role in the societal advancements by enhancing industries like sensing, textiles, and battery separators, which rely on the intricate characteristics offered by these materials.
This Research Topic aims to propel the field of flexible polymer composites by focusing on the enhancement of their properties and the expansion of their functional applications. We intend to explore innovative manufacturing processes that can surmount the existing challenges of scalability and functionality, thereby transforming potential industries with more durable, versatile, and stable high-performance materials.
To gather further insights in the application and development of high-performance flexible materials, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
1. Novel approaches to the preparation and study of high-performance flexible polymer-based nanocomposites and nanofibers.
2. Computational modeling and simulation of the functional mechanisms in flexible materials.
3. Exploration of the relationships between molecular structures and properties in flexible polymers.
4. Comprehensive reviews of the state-of-the-art in flexible polymer-based composites and their industrial applications.
