Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on “Materials for Membrane Separation and Selective Adsorption” aims to present theoretical and experimental advances on material development that address key challenges in the area of membrane separation and adsorption. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Novel materials development (e.g., graphene, metal-organic frameworks) for efficient membrane separation and adsorption
- Advanced techniques for fabricating asymmetric membranes, mixed matrix membranes or monolithic adsorbent, etc.
- Characterisation methods to reveal membrane microstructure (e.g., interfacial morphology of mixed matrix membranes)
- Relation between material structure and transport properties of membrane and porous materials
- Membrane applications in gas separation, desalination, water treatment etc.
- Developments in theoretical modelling of transport in nanoporous materials

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.
