Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Membrane separation technology has been widely used in varisou fields, such as wastewater treatment, desalination, gas separation, etc. The core of the membrane technology is the membrane itself. In general, a trade-off phenomenon exists between permeability and selectivity for membranes, which are predominantly determined by the physicochemical properties of the membrane material. Massive efforts have been devoted to overcoming this deep-rooted problem via designing new materials, tailoring material structures, chemical mofidications, post-treatment, and developing membrane fabrication technology. Though tremendous advancements have been achieved in enhancing the separation properties during the past decades, a great surpass of trade-off limitation demands further efforts.
This Special Issue on “Development and application of New membrane materials” seeks high quality works focusing on the latest novel advances membrane technology for both gas and liquid separation. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Polymeric material synthesis, structure design and chemical modification, post-treatment;
- Nanomaterial (zero dimension to three dimension materials) synthesis, structure design;
- Composite and mixed matrix membranes;
- Applications of developed new membrane material.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
