Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of membranes in microfluidics has been widely researched due to its significant applications and potential expandability. Generally, membranes are defined as a porous, semi-permeable barrier to control transport of some kind of species, and thus they allow us to pioneer a versatile use in different microfluidic applications. Especially, it has been possible to find new chemical/biological reactions and transport phenomena, which had never been observed before, adjacent to the membrane interfaces in microfluidic platforms only.
In this special issue, we are going to seek to highlight recent research, integrating membrane functionality in microfluidic on-chip applications. In addition, we look forward to receive research papers, reviews, and communications related to a variety of applications of integrated membranes in chemical and bioengineering.

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. Micromachines 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 2600 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.
