Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thin-film composite (TFC) membranes have gained significant attention in recent years due to their exceptional separation performance and versatility in addressing complex separation challenges. The Special Issue on "Advances in Thin-Film Composite (TFC) Membranes" aims to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers and scientists to present and discuss the latest advancements in the field of TFC membranes for various separation applications. The scope of this Special Issue encompasses a wide range of topics related to TFC membranes, including but not limited to, novel material developments, methodologies, and breakthroughs in the design, fabrication, characterization, performance evaluation, mechanism of performance enhancement, and application of TFC membranes. We aim to provide a platform for the dissemination of cutting-edge research findings, novel concepts, and practical solutions that can address existing challenges and pave the way for future advancements in this rapidly evolving field. We accept high-quality research papers as well as review articles. Given your insightful works in the field, we invite you and your colleagues to submit a contribution to this Special Issue, in which some leading experts will describe their works, ideas, and most recent findings.
