Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Membrane science and technologies are a key component for addressing many important issues such as drinking water, energy and elimination of environmental burdens etc. Currently, membranes have become an integral part of industrial processes with considerable commercial and technical importance. Polymeric membranes applications are varied and in recent years have evolved into many fields and are intensively investigated for application in fields such as barrier properties for packaging films; gas separation; water purification processes including nano/micro filtration, reverse osmosis; electrodialysis; dialysis; hemodialysis, and protective coatings (paint). Various emerging technologies employs polymeric membranes such as in secondary batteries and fuel cell applications, several optoelectronic applications, and conductive polymeric coatings and films.
This special issue welcomes articles on different aspects of membrane applications but are not limited to:
- Energy storage and generation
- Electronics
- Biomedical applications
- Sensors
- Separation and water purification techniques
- Gas or liquid capture
- Membrane design using Industry 4.0 Technology

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.
