Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Membrane technology has emerged as a significant solution to problems associated with gas separations, water treatments, battery applications, optoelectronic applications, films and coatings, tissue engineering, drug delivery, and diagnostics. The need for membrane technology continues to grow, with the global membranes market anticipated to reach USD 10.73 billion by 2028. Advanced polymeric membranes are becoming increasingly feasible because of the rapid advancement of nanotechnology and the processability of polymeric materials. These membranes are finding practical applications in the solutions for crucial energy and environmental challenges.
Membrane science and engineering is a multidisciplinary field that includes chemistry, chemical engineering, material science, environmental science, computer simulations, and data science, among other fields. Hence in this peer-reviewed special issue, we invite articles, reviews, and perspectives submissions from a wide range of disciplines that highlight research advances in membrane technology. These scientific advancements may include but are not limited to, novel applications, molecular insights, fabrication processes, performance improvements, and environmental sustainability.

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.
