Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Membrane science and technology has made great progress in recent decades, and their application fields are becoming wider and wider, such as wastewater treatment and reuse, drinking water purification, seawater/brackish water desalination, drug separation and purification, chemical separation, food processing, and so on, playing an important role in various industrial fields. As an important part of membrane materials, polymer membrane materials have developed from traditional single material to multifunctional and intelligent membrane materials. However, there are still many challenges in the separation process with complex and harsh environments, so the exploration of advanced polymer membrane materials and membrane process is endless.
This Special Issue aims to highlight recent progress in advanced membrane materials and membrane processes. The submitted manuscripts will be fast-track reviewed, and all types of publications are invited: research articles, review articles, and communications.

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.
