Since the late 1990s, the polymer industry has faced two serious problems: global warming and anticipation of limitation to the access to fossil resources. One solution consists in the use of sustainable resources instead of fossil-based resources. Hence, biomass feedstocks are a promising resource and biopolymers are one of the most dynamic polymer area. Additionally, biodegradability is a special functionality conferred to a material, bio-based or not. Very recently, facing the awareness of the volumes of plastic wastes, biodegradable polymers are gaining increasing attention from the market and industrial community. This special issue of Molecules deals with the current scientific and industrial challenges of Natural and Biobased Polymers, through the access of new biobased monomers, improved thermo-mechanical properties, and by substitution of harmful substances. This themed issue can be considered as collection of highlights within the field of Natural Polymers and Biobased Polymers which clearly demonstrate the increased interest in this field. We hope that this will inspire researchers to further develop this area and thus contribute to futures more sustainable society.? 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 610 $aimine 610 $aepoxide 610 $aamine 610 $athermoset 610 $abio-based 610 $abiobased epoxy 610 $acardanol 610 $acationic photocuring 610 $amicrofibrillated cellulose 610 $abiobased composites 610 $asustainable materials 610 $abiomass 610 $agreen chemistry 610 $amechanims 610 $ahumins 610 $aepoxy resins 610 $athermosets 610 $akinetics 610 $aring-opening 610 $abiobased 610 $apolyurethane foam 610 $acatalyst 610 $apolycarbonates 610 $afuran-maleimide 610 $aDiels-Alder 610 $afatty acids 610 $amelt extrusion 610 $a3D printing 610 $acellulose nanofibrils 610 $abiocomposite filaments 610 $aphysical property 610 $adrained and undrained peatlands 610 $apeats 610 $ahumic acids 610 $athermal 610 $aparamagnetic and optical properties 610 $aacetylated starch 610 $aetherified starch 610 $achemical composition 610 $amacromolecular characteristics 610 $asurface characterization 610 $alignin 610 $afractionation 610 $abiobased polymers 610 $asolvent extraction 610 $amembrane-assisted ultrafiltration 610 $aplant oil-based monomers 610 $amixed micelles 610 $amethyl-?-cyclodextrin inclusion complex 610 $aemulsion polymerization 610 $ananocellulose 610 $apolymer 610 $acoating 610 $atextile 610 $aadhesion 610 $abiobased monomer 610 $aphotoinduced-polymerization 610 $aeugenol-derived methacrylate 610 $abacterial cellulose 610 $aalginate 610 $agelatin 610 $acurcumin 610 $abiomaterials 610 $achitosan 610 $asilane coupling agent 610 $amicrofiber 610 $acrosslinking 610 $amechanical strength 610 $ablock copolymers 610 $arenewable resources 610 $aRAFT 610 $aalkyl lactate 610 $aPSA 610 $aterpenoid 610 $aexo-methylene 610 $aconjugated diene 610 $arenewable monomer 610 $abiobased polymer 610 $aradical polymerization 610 $acopolymerization 610 $aliving radical polymerization 610 $aRAFT polymerization 610 $aheat-resistant polymer 615 7$aResearch & information: general 700 $aCaillol$b Sylvain$4edt$01291440 702 $aCaillol$b Sylvain$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557205403321 996 $aNatural Polymers and Biopolymers II$93021845 997 $aUNINA
