Reviews “A timely and significant contribution . . . Offers valuable insights and a comprehensive overview of the state of the art. . . . It captures the essence of how artificial intelligence is harnessed to address the inherent complexities of polymer composite systems. . . . What makes this book particularly noteworthy is its blend of theoretical advancements and practical applications. It delves into methodologies that streamline material design processes while reducing experimentation time and costs. Equally, it highlights case studies where CI has successfully enabled breakthrough innovations in polymer composites, demonstrating the transformative potential of these technologies across industries.” —From the Foreword by Dipankar Chattopadhyay, PhD, Professor, Dept. of Polymer Science and Engineering, Calcutta University, West Bengal, India The field of polymer composite materials has long stood at the intersection of innovation, enabling the development of lightweight, durable, and multifunctional materials that power industries ranging from aerospace to consumer goods. With the advent of computational intelligence (CI) technologies, the design, modeling, and analysis of these materials have reached unprecedented levels of precision, efficiency, and sophistication. This new volume, Green and Smart Polymer Composites: Bridging Materials Science and Intelligent Technologies, helps to bridge the fundamentals to smart engineering in materials science. It provides current and important research on the study of polymers and finite composition of their composite materials along with computational intelligence techniques on polymer composite materials. it also discusses applications of smart polymers and presents a selection of case studies on polymer composite materials.

AAP support has been truly important throughout the initial and final stages of the book. While the majority of the publishing work is done at the early stages, the final touches that include the last-minute corrections of the authors are extremely crucial to the quality the book tries to convey. The assistance of AAP during the last stages of corrections and communication with the authors was a very positive contributor to my state of mind during those stressful moments. I recommend the publishing experience with AAP to other editors of scientific material.” —Stavros Hatzopoulos, PhD, Hearing Science Laboratory, University Hospital of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy AAP book title: Nanotechnologies: The Physics of Nanomaterials (2-volume set) “I was very pleased with the interaction and support of the team at Apple Academic Press. They provided me with regular and useful information and updates throughout the publishing procedure. I am also very happy with the final product, which is of good quality. The books are now available and are professionally distributed through the various channels. I would like again to thank the team at AAP for all their hard work and support.” —David Schmool, PhD, Director, Groupe d’Etude de la Matière Condensée GEMaC, National Centre for Scientific Research, Université de Versailles/Saint-Quentin, Université Paris-Saclay,Versailles, France AAP book title: Physiology of Molluscs (2-volume set) “I have enjoyed the full benefit of support, encouragement, and kindness from the members of AAP I have had the pleasure of being associated with. In the same vein, I hope AAP was satisfied with the book series I have edited in advancing the knowledge. It has been a great journey and was a great pleasure and satisfaction. Advancing scholarship through publications is one of the best routes publishers can take, and I would hold AAP as one of the best ones.” —Saber Saleuddin, PhD, University Professor Emeritus, Department of Biology, York University in Toronto, Ontario, Canada AAP book title: Green Chemistry and Sustainable Technology: Biological, Pharmaceutical, and Macromolecular Systems “It had been my pleasure to work with the production team of Apple Academic Press for almost a decade.
