Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymer membrane-based technologies are considered one of the most important practical means in resolving and delivering the fundamental global needs in the 21st century for sustainable, efficient and economical access to green energy, clean water and the environment. Recently, polymer membranes have been utilized for various applications including water purification, gas separation, environmental remediation, energy and biomedical devices, which have exhibited great potential towards a next generation of separation systems. Newly developed polymer membrane systems have confirmed their superiority over other conventional energy intensive processes in terms of improved performance, economic viability and reduced environmental impact.
This Special Issue aims to capture the recent scientific and technological advances in the development of polymer membranes and their potential applications. Future research directions and recent challenges will also be considered. I would like to invite you to contribute original research articles as well as review articles to this Special Issue. I believe that your contribution for this issue will not only increase the basic subject knowledge on membranes, but also lead to the development of new technologies and innovations for their effective and commercial utilization.
Dr. Sagar Roy
Guest Editor

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. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
