Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Membranes have found an important place in chemical technology and are used in a broad range of applications. Most applications refer to concentration, purification, and fractionation. However, in recent decades, much research has been devoted to new materials, and polymeric membranes are required to solve the energy and environmental crisis; nevertheless, there is still a long way to go.
Membranes are not merely the subject of significant research. Even though polymeric membranes suffer from the permeability and selectivity trade-off effect, research groups are investigating novel design and synthesis strategies, modeling, and applications on polymeric membranes aiming at breaking the limitations. This indicates that the field sparks the curiosity and interest of various membrane separation experts for enhanced separation efficiency and prospective applications.

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. Polymers 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 2700 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.
