COVER STORY
Safety and Deliverance
Emerged “safety and deliverance”
considerations have grabbed our attention recently due to accidental and unexpected consequences in scientific aspects of our life. To provide technological shields for these issues, variable polymeric materials have been developed, making “safety and deliverance” keywords extremely essential issues in the R&D. Herein, two most up-to-date topics are focusing on 1) polymeric materials providing “safety and deliverance” safeguard for our living, and 2) how to elaborate on safety issues of polymeric materials.
