Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon nanomaterials (e.g., carbon nanotubes, graphene, fullerene, carbon nanofiber, and graphene nanoribbon) have received considerable attention in a variety of applications due to their attractive properties, such as electron conductivity, good mechanical property, and transport/barrier properties. Among them, carbon-based nanocomposites are particularly attractive in membrane applications because a small amount of carbon nanomaterials can greatly enhance separation properties as well as mechanical properties. In spite of the great improvement in the field, however, carbon-based nanocomposite membranes still require further improvements in terms of separation performance, process efficiency, sustainability, and cost.
As a Guest Editor of this Special Issue on “Carbon-Based Nanocomposite Membranes”, I cordially invite you to submit a research article or reviews for possible publication in Membranes.
The aim of this Special Issue on “Carbon-Based Nanocomposite Membranes” is to share recent ideas and development of novel carbon nanocomposite membranes applied in a variety of separation systems, including but not limited to ion exchange membranes, desalination, water purification, membrane distillations, gas separation, rechargeable secondary batteries, and other separation systems.
Dr. Hee Joong Kim

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.
