Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There has recently been an increase in the number of major scientific challenges that we need to overcome due to the growth of the world population, global warming, scarcity of feedstocks, and so on, which are seriously compromising our quality of living.
Membrane technologies may provide advantages over traditional technologies but are only effectively sustainable when aligned with green solvents. Eco-friendly, not hazardous, and effective solvents should be used in the synthesis of sustainable membrane materials. Eco-friendly solvents should also be used in new fields to obtain new products.
This Special Issue includes topics such as:
- Membrane development;
- Membrane synthesis;
- Membrane modification to enhance performance or be re-used;
- Process development;
- Product development;
- New applications.

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. Membranes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
