Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The membrane is the core element and also source technology that dictates the overall performance and economics of the various separation processes. To enhance the performance and efficiency of the membrane, various attempts have been made based on materials science and system engineering in and out of academia. The recent emergence of nano-composite and its applications to membrane engineering proved the potential of the nano-composite membrane to improve performance and enable sustainable industrial growth. The nano-composite membrane has also attracted great attention in addressing growing environmental applications such as water desalination and reuse, energy production, biomedical health fields and mining of valuable elements or materials.
The topics of interest include below membrane applications but are not limited to:
- Synthesis and fabrication of nano-composite membrane
- Novel membrane fabrication process
- Membranes for desalination and water reuse
- Membranes for the removal of heavy metals and toxic contaminants
- Membranes for separation of oil-water
- Biomedical health applications
- Brine mining
- Zero Liquid Discharge
- Salinity gradient power
- Membrane distillation, pervaporation

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. Nanomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2900 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.
