With the rapid advancements in polymer research, polymers are finding newer applications such as scaffolds for tissue engineering, wound healing, flexible displays, and energy devices. In the same spirit, this book covers the key features of recent advancements in polymeric materials and their specialty applications. Divided into two sections - Polymeric Biomaterials and Polymers from Sustainable Resources, and Polymers for Energy and Specialty Applications - this book covers biopolymers, polymer-based biomaterials, polymer-based nanohybrids, polymer nanocomposites, polymer-supported regenerative medicines, and advanced polymer device fabrication techniques.FEATURESProvides a comprehensive review of all different polymers for applications in tissue engineering, biomedical implants, energy storage or conversion, and so forthDiscusses advanced strategies in development of scaffolds for tissue engineeringElaborates various advanced fabrication techniques for polymeric devicesExplores the nuances in polymer-based batteries and energy harvestingReviews advanced polymeric membranes for fuel cells and polymers for printed electronics applicationsThrows light on some new polymers and polymer nanocomposites for optoelectronics, next generation tires, smart sensors and stealth technology applicationsThis book is aimed at academic researchers, industry personnel, and graduate students in the interdisciplinary i elds of polymer and materials technology, composite engineering, biomedical engineering, applied chemistry, chemical engineering, and advanced polymer manufacturing.

Lithium ion batteries (LIBs) are energy storage device which have wide range of applications from portable electronics to large scale electrical storage application in renewable energy such as wind and solar power. LIBs have dominated the past two decades due to high energy density, no memory effect, longer shelf life, and lighter material. The separator electrolyte system (SES) is placed between the cathode and anode to insulate electronically and conduct ionically. However, lithium reserves are limited, sodium is an ideal replacement for lithium since it shares many physical and chemical properties with lithium, and is also abundant. As a result, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) currently attract huge scientific and technological interest. Electrospinning is an efficient technique to synthesize highly porous and interconnected electroactive poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) based polymer separators. The electroactive separator was immersed in lithium/sodium ionic salt in different combinations of liquid organic solvent. The physicochemical and electrochemical characteristics of SES were investigated.
