Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymeric membranes have an indisputable role as a trustworthy material for gas separation. The membrane gas separations are gaining wider acceptance and have attracted the attention of researchers due to their energy-efficient, cost-effective, and simple modular design. However, there are challenges such as long-term stability, mechanical strength, and its operation in harsh environments that stress the need for a stable and high-performance membrane. These challenges are being overcome by using nano-particles. There are different nanoparticles reported that are being used to fabricate the membrane, such as nanofibers, nanospheres, carbon nanotubes, graphene oxide nanosheets, nanoparticles, MOFs, or a combination of thereof. This opens up a new area of research for the membrane that contains nano-particles in its matrix.
This Special Issue, titled “Nanomaterials-Based Polymeric Membranes for Gas Separation”, will focus on the recent advances in membrane gas separation containing nanofiller. The Special Issue will accept original research articles and reviews in subject areas, including the fabrication of nanomaterial-based membranes for gas separation. Topics include (but are not limited to) the following: polymeric nanocomposite membranes for pre-combustion and post-combustion carbon capture, hydrogen purification, nanomaterials containing advanced membranes, polymer-grafted nanomaterials for gas separation, the development of functionalized nanomaterials for gas separation, the chemistry process of the gas separation membrane, mathematical modelling, and the simulation of the membrane containing nanofiller.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
