Biocompatible Membranes
This special issue belongs to the section "Membrane Applications".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biocompatible membranes can be highly complex structures: aside from their functional and mechanical properties, their biological compatibility must be assured in order to successfully fulfill their intended use. Whether for biomedical or environmental applications, membranes are dynamic structures that are fundamental to innumerous vital processes.
This Special Issue “Biocompatible Membranes” aims to cover the latest developments and innovations regarding the synthesis, functionalization, characterization and application of biocompatible membranes in distinct areas such as biomedical and environmental fields. It represents a good opportunity for researchers to present their latest work addressing fundamental aspects and also applied research within this field. This issue will also highlight new challenges to achieving more efficient membranes in increasingly demanding and specific applications.
Full articles, short communications or review articles are welcome.
