Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hemodialysis membrane technology continues to evolve as researchers seek to address the limitations of conventional dialysis and improve the quality of care for patients with end-stage renal disease. This Special Issue, entitled “Research Progress of Hemodialysis Membrane Technology”, focuses on recent advances in membrane fabrication techniques, surface engineering, the enhancement of biocompatibility, and novel strategies for optimizing hemodialysis performance.
Key areas of interest include the development of advanced materials and surface modification methods to produce membranes with superior selectivity, permeability, and blood compatibility. This Special Issue also aims to highlight innovative approaches in the utilization and treatment of spent dialysate, such as toxin monitoring, dialysate regeneration, and integration of sensing technologies for real-time assessments. Submissions are invited on topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Novel fabrication techniques and materials for hemodialysis membranes
- Antifouling strategies
- Strategies to enhance membrane biocompatibility and reduce inflammatory responses
- Smart membranes and functional coatings for improved performance
- Sustainable and innovative uses of spent dialysate
- Computational modelling and simulation of membrane behavior
- Clinical translation and safety evaluation of new membrane technologies
This Special Issue provides a platform for interdisciplinary contributions that bridge materials science, biomedical engineering, nephrology, and sustainability. It aims to support the development of next-generation dialysis systems that are safer, more efficient, and patient-centered.

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.
