Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Membrane-based technologies have become a popular choice throughout the world due to their benefits over other approaches. In recent decades, sustained research in the field of membrane technology has seen a remarkable surge in the development of novel membranes and materials, particularly because of the reduction in energy footprints and cost. The advancement of membrane technology is aided by the development of innovative thin-film composite membranes.
This Special Issue on "Innovative Thin-Film Composite Membranes: Advancements and Applications" is looking for contributions to assess the current state of the art and upcoming innovations in the area of thin-film composite membranes and approaches. Research on the implementation of innovative thin-film composite membranes on a laboratory and pilot scale, their development, application, and commercial use, as well as the sustainability approach to thin-film composite membranes.
Authors are encouraged to contribute their most recent findings, especially original research articles and reviews, in order to address the expanding need for the development of innovative thin-film composite membranes.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Arun Kumar Shukla

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
