Track-etched Membranes: Formation Features and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Ion-track technique allows the fabrication of a wide range of polymeric membranes with specific functionalities. Ion-track membranes are characterized by precisely controllable and reproducible pore geometry, pore density (1-109 pore/cm2 and pore size (nm-µm) that ensured its wide application in precision separation, membrane distillation, filtration, catalysis, electrochemical sensors, as templates for nanostructure synthesis, as response switching membrane to changing temperature, pH and other.

This Special Issue seeks contributions from all both basic and applied research groups that are currently engaged in the ion-track membrane research and development to reflect the current state and the cutting-edge progress of ion-track membranes preparation for the different processes and applications.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Membranes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
