Recent Advances in Polymeric Membranes—Preparation and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Over the years, polymeric membrane technology has received significant attention due to its advantages, such as ease of operation, energy saving capability, compact size, environmental friendliness, and multiple applications. Polymeric membranes can be prepared by a wide variety of techniques and with several configurations depending on their applications. The development of new polymeric materials and the growing number of applications demands the development of better-suited membranes with different characteristics or new composite membranes and methods of preparation, as well as new funtionalization methods.

This Special Issue will highlight the most recent and applicable achievements regarding the preparation, modification, and performance of polymeric membranes for water treatment, energy savings and /or energy storage, gas separation, and membranes for biomedical 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-blind 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.
