The design of the material, the prediction of the properties and the fabrication techniques should be enhanced to efficiently use the high performance polymer nanocomposites.

A critical review of modified cellulose for electrochemical energy storage is integrated with a potassium-specific multiphysics framework using cellulose obtainable from India-relevant feedstocks, including sugarcane bagasse, cotton/cotton stalk, banana pseudostem, Hibiscus/kenaf-type biomass, and other agricultural residues.

Pharmaceutical primary packaging is dominated by poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC), poly (vinylidene chloride) laminates and cold-form aluminium, chosen for barrier performance rather than end-of-life behaviour.

3D Cf/SiC composites, consisting of carbon fibers reinforced with silicon carbide are increasingly used in aerospace and defence due to their excellent mechanical properties and high-temperature strength.

Circular polymer composites can help to decrease virgin resin consumption and provide value from agricultural waste, but there are still challenges with recycled-feedstock variability and poor fiber–matrix interfaces to achieve consistent performance.

Additive manufacturing has successfully manufactured lightweight, programmable and geometrically complicated components. However, reliable mechanical performance and efficient use of resources remain hard.
