Summary
To achieve the agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by United Nations and circular economy, worldwide environmental problems such as global warming, depletion of fossil fuels, waste plastic pollution, water-, air-, soil- pollution, food and water crisis etc have to be solved. Environmentally-friendly functional materials for sustainable society based on Polymer Science, Functional Material Science, and Environmental Science have been investigated.
