Polymer technologies, such as polymeric flocculants and ion exchange resin, are widely used in the field of environmental science and engineering. As people pay more attention to environmental and health problems caused by pollution, the detection and elimination of emerging pollutants in environment have become important. However, most emerging pollutants are usually difficult to degrade through normal methods. Therefore, advanced polymer technology has become an attractive technology for detection and elimination of emerging pollutants.

This special issue aims to provide insight into the development and application of various polymer technologies for detecting and eliminating emerging pollutants. Research articles on new polymer materials, such as polymer-metal-organic frameworks and biodegradable polymer materials, and emerging polymer methods, such as molecular imprinting technology and polymer-based membrane technology, are especially welcome. Review articles which describe the current state-of-the-art for specific knowledge domains are also of high interest.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Polymer-based sensor for detection of emerging pollutants
• Polymer-based membrane technology for elimination of emerging pollutants
• Molecular imprinting technology for detection of emerging pollutants
• Polymer-metal-organic frameworks for elimination of emerging pollutants
• Polymer nanocomposite hydrogels for elimination of emerging pollutants
• Biodegradable polymers for elimination of emerging pollutants
• Biochar-polymer composites on elimination of emerging pollutants
