Recent Advances in Electrospun Nanofiber Membranes

Dear Colleagues,

Nanofibers are fibrous-shaped nanomaterials with a diameter within the range of 10 to 100 nanometers. Nanofibers have unique properties in terms of high surface area–to–volume ratio, interconnected nanoporosity, and mass transport properties. Electrospinning can be used to prepare nanofibrous membranes from diverse polymers. Among the various techniques for nanofiber production, electrospinning, supported an electrostatic energy, offers continuous production of highly pure nanofibers. Additionally, it supports nanofiber production from a good range of natural, synthetic, and hybrid polymers with a range of physical, chemical, and mechanical properties. The ambient processing conditions of the electrospinning process offer advantages for the encapsulation of heat-sensitive bioactives, cells, and enzymes for effective delivery.

This Special Issue of “Recent Advances in Electrospun Nanofiber Membranes” aims to report the latest developments in the design and application of nanofiber membranes in various fields. In this regard, authors are invited to contribute their most recent results on the fundamental or application aspects of nanofiber membranes.

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.
