Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymer films, coatings, and membranes have recently found their way to a plethora of research areas, such as membrane distillation, membrane filtration, fuel cells, anticorrosion, separation processes, electrolysis cells, capacitors, and polymeric electrolytes. Simultaneously, new and environmentally degradable polymers for membranes and film fabrication have led to increased interest among researchers for the abovementioned applications. This Special Issue focuses on membrane fabrication, advanced polymers, bio-based polymers, thin polymeric films, polymer surface modifications, membrane processes, polymeric-waste recycling, additives enhancing polymer characteristics, membrane thermal characteristics, membrane for energy, environmental and chemical engineering processes, and other interrelated research topics.

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.
