Summary
The special issue on renewable materials for sustainable development
covers research in applied or fundamental science of nano-, micro-,
meso- and macro-scale aspects of green materials for sustainable
development. It focuses on recent progress and research studies of
materials related to sustainable development applications, particularly
in the development of alternatives to traditional materials or processes
that offer environmental advantages. The papers may present
theoretical, numerical or experimental findings within the context of
green materials with an emphasis on reducing the use of hazardous
substances in the design, manufacturing and application of commercial
products. Interesting topics considered are including but not limited to
the following:
● Emerging materials for sustainable energy and environment
● Innovative materials for water-energy-health nexus
● Eco-building materials for sustainability and innovative construction
● Materials applications related to green energy
● Bio-based materials and bioenergy
Keywords
