Polymer Science and Innovative Applications: Materials, Techniques, and Future Developments introduces the science of innovative polymers and composites, their analysis via experimental techniques and simulation, and their utilization in a variety of application areas. This approach helps to unlock the potential of new materials for product design and other uses. The book also examines the role that these applications play in the human world, from pollution and health impacts, to their potential to make a positive contribution in areas including environmental remediation, medicine and healthcare, and renewable energy. Advantages, disadvantages, possibilities, and challenges relating to the utilization of polymers in human society are included.

Professor Mariam Al Ali AlMaadeed is Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies and a Professor at Qatar University. She earned her Ph.D. in Materials Science from Alexandria University, Egypt, in 2001 and joined Qatar University’s Physics Department the same year. Prof. AlMaadeed specializes in polymers, characterization and structure, nanocomposites, and nanotechnology. Her expertise includes extensive consultation and workshop delivery to industry, government, and community organizations. Her achievements have been recognized with prestigious awards such as the Physics State Award (2010), the Gulf Petrochemical Association Plastic Excellence Award (2014), and the ISESCO Prize. Dr. Deepalekshmi Ponnamma is the section head of Research Quality in the research planning and development department at Qatar University, Qatar. She is a PhD graduate from the Deakin University, Australia, and finished the post-doctoral studies from Qatar University. Her research interest includes synthesizing the different nanoarchitectures, polymer nanocomposites for efficient technological applications. Dr. Marcelo Carignano received his Ph.D. in Physics from the National University of La Plata, Argentina. His research experience covers the application of computational methods to elucidate detailed structural and dynamical properties of different systems, including polymers at interfaces, colloidal and polymeric gels, aqueous solutions and interfaces, molecular crystals and hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites. He joined QEERI in 2012, after spending several years at different institutions in the United States.
