Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on “Application of Advanced Membrane Materials in Bioseparation” will critically discuss membrane technology for bioseparation and purification in terms of recent advancements. Topics will range from innovations in membrane manufacturing, membrane properties, and surface functionality to the influence of operating parameters on the performance of membrane materials. Membrane bioseparation has been widely used as an effective and reliable method for the separation and purification of bioproducts such as enzymes, proteins, peptides, and nucleic acids. The bases of separation used in the membrane bioseparation process include size, diffusivity, polarity, electrostatic charge, and volatility. Membrane bioseparation technology must combine high selectivity and throughput (productivity). This Special Issue will focus on the connection between advanced membrane materials and their applications in membrane bioseparation. We invite researchers to contribute their original and high-quality research papers and/or review articles, which will inspire advances in the design of advanced functional membranes for bioseparation. The scope includes, but is not limited to:
- Membrane chromatography;
- Biocatalytic membranes;
- Nonwoven membranes for bioseparation;
- Ion exchange membrane chromatography;
- Affinity nanofibrous chromatographic membranes;
- Downstream bioprocessing;
- Protein purification;
- Flow dynamics;
- Process modelling for membrane chromatography;
- CFD modelling;
- Molecular simulations;
- Natural polymeric adsorbents;
- Inorganic fibrous adsorbents;
- Synthetic polymeric adsorbents;
- Fiber-based protein adsorbents;
- Surface functionalization;
- Composite 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 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.
