Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to invite you to the Special Issue “Membrane Modification Toward Increased Biocompatibility”.
For decades, many researchers have been working hard to improve the quality of different types of membranes/ barriers without losing their main characteristic: biocompatibility.
This issue covers broad science- and technology-related aspects of biological/non-biological membranes and modifications applied to increase/improve biocompatibility.
This Special Issue aims to publish articles that will provide strong support to translational research (“bench-to-bedside”). Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts about membrane fabrication processes, the development of theoretical bases, such as structure, performance, methods, and applications that cover membrane chemistry, physics, engineering, and biology. Moreover, experimental and clinical studies demonstrating the membranes’ applicabilities will also be very welcome.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Carlos Fernando Mourão

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.
