Abstract
The growing environmental concerns associated with traditional petroleum-based polymers have intensified the search for sustainable alternatives. This themed collection highlights innovative approaches in polymer science that prioritize sustainability without compromising performance. The featured articles encompass a spectrum of strategies, from the utilization of bio-derived monomers and biopolymers to the engineering of dynamic, self-healing materials.
