Special Issue Information
Membrane processes have gained an important place in the world due to their effectiveness, sustainability, and low environmental impact. Polymer membranes with tailored properties obtained by bulk or surface modification by different approaches or prepared from new designed polymers are of significant fundamental and industrial interest in various fields. Novel preparation and modification techniques for polymer membranes help to develop emission-free “green” membrane processes that are particularly necessary for modern society. Special emphasis will be placed on but not limited to the following:
- Membrane development;
- Membrane characterization;
- Bulk membrane modification;
- Surface membrane modification (plasma, layer-by layer, thin layers);
- Membrane transport properties;
- Simulation of membrane processes;
- Application of novel membrane materials.
