Keeping in mind the immense perspectives of various classes of materials, this
series aimsatprovidingacomprehensivecollectionofworksacrossthebreadthof
materials research at cutting-edge interface of materials science with physics,
chemistry, biology and engineering.
This series covers a galaxy of materials ranging from natural materials to
nanomaterials. Some of the topics include but not limited to: biological materials,
biomimeticmaterials,ceramics,composites,coatings,functionalmaterials,glasses,
inorganic materials, inorganic-organic hybrids, metals, membranes, magnetic
materials, manufacturing of materials, nanomaterials, organic materials and
pigments to name a few. The series provides most timely and comprehensive
informationonadvancedsynthesis,processing,characterization,manufacturingand
applications ina broad range ofinterdisciplinary fields inscience, engineering and
technology.
This series accepts both authored and edited works, including textbooks,
monographs,referenceworks,andprofessionalbooks.Thebooksinthisserieswill
provide a deep insight into the state-of-art of Materials Horizons and serves
students, academic, government and industrial scientists involved in all aspects of
materials research.

Preface
Polymers offer enormous opportunities towards newer applications in technologi-
cally important areas. There is a great necessity to have an integral approach
towardsthiscomplementaryrelationshipofpolymersandtheirperformance.These
polymeric materials have shown multidirectional growth in several areas of tech-
nological innovations, which ranges from biomedical polymers to the fascinating
field of smart materials. A precise understanding of the molecular architecture and
itsroleingoverningphysicalcharacteristicsisextremelyusefultounderstandtheir
applications.
TheInternationalConferenceonAdvancesinPolymerScienceandTechnology
was organized with the aim to provide a common forum for eminent scientists,
technologists,entrepreneursandresearchscholarstopresenttheirworkanddiscuss
the latest advances in this exciting area of research and add on new dimensions in
different application areas.
It is with great pleasure that we bring out this volume, which includes papers
selected from the presentations made at the International Conference on Advances
in Polymer Science and Technology held during 23–25 November 2017 at New
Delhi,India.Thiseventwasattendedbyabout450participantsfromallcontinents.
TheconferencewasorganizedundertheauspicesofAsianPolymerAssociation
(APA),aprofessionalsocietydedicatedtothescienceofpolymers,incollaboration
with Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi, Central Institute of Plastics
Engineering & Technology (CIPET), Society for Biomaterials & Artificial Organs
(Delhi, India) and Indo-Italian Forum on Biomaterials & Tissue. The conference
was dedicated to the world of polymers with an extensive interaction among aca-
demicians, researchers, technologists and policy planners.
This special edition introduces new classes of polymeric materials with unique
applications. The articles cover health, medicine and biotechnology, a rapidly
developing domain based largely on known materials but moving to designed and
engineered polymers, and information and communications, an emerging field for
polymers significantly based on their electronic properties. These two areas are
attracting a great deal of attention, particularly among researchers who are not

traditional specialists in polymer science. The growing importance of these fields
makes the interdisciplinary aspect of polymer research abundantly clear.
Wearesurethatallthelatestresultsandfindingsreportedherewillbeusefulto
the researchers and scientists working in these areas. It will also be found
immensely useful by the advanced-level students of physics, chemistry, materials
science, electronics specializing in polymers, as well as students of electronics,
chemical and metallurgical engineering having courses in polymer technology/
materials science and technology.

and future personal and collaborative efforts in this important field of scientific
endeavour.
The proceedings and the rich scientific knowledge exchanged between the
participants are the result of the sincere efforts of a large team of people who
volunteered their time to contribute to this international conference. We are
indebtedtothemfortheirassistanceandsupportandextendourheartfeltthanks,on
behalf of the APA 2017, for their significant contributions.
