Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymeric membranes are the dominating membrane type globally. They have been widely applied in various industrial fields such as water treatment, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and chemical industries. Polymeric membranes are commonly used for pressure-driven membrane processes microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF), and reverse osmosis (RO) due to their unique and tunable properties.
The focus of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for researchers and engineers to share their latest findings and advancements related to polymeric membranes. We welcome submissions on new membrane processes using polymeric membranes, innovative fabrication methods, new materials, and novel characterization techniques for polymeric membranes. With this Special Issue, we aim to contribute to the development of more efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable membrane processes for various industrial applications.
Sharing the latest research on polymeric membranes can support the development of important solutions to industrial problems such as water scarcity, energy consumption, and waste management. The new trends and advancements in polymeric membrane technologies presented in this Special Issue might lead to significant improvements in the performance and cost-effectiveness of industrial processes, as well as facilitate the achievement of the UN's SDGs.
Submissions of original research articles and reviews are welcome. We are looking forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Membranes 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 2200 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.
