Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
At present, membranes made from polymers or polymer composites with functions of separating fluid mixtures and adsorbing pollutants are widely used in various industrial applications, and the use of polymeric membranes for separation and adsorption is one of the most promising, cost-effective, and energy-efficient approaches. Moreover, membrane research can help us deal with present critical societal problems, such as water pollution, drinking water shortages, or the recovery of solvents or catalysts from the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. In addition to their function, the properties of membranes are also of great interest in practical applications. Thus, polymeric membranes are always a hot topic of great interest to researchers in polymer chemistry, physics, engineering, and applications.
In this case, this Special Issue aims to compile original and cutting-edge research work on the synthesis, characterization, and application of polymeric membranes for separation and adsorption.

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.
