Membrane Fabrication—Present-Day Scenario

Dear Colleagues,

Membrane-based separation is one of the most widely accepted technologies used in day-to-day activities, from simple household water filtration units to complex industrial processes in the petrochemical, dairy and pharmaceutical industries. The advancement in material science has provided us with tools to design and prepare membranes with dialled in properties. Nowadays, every aspect of membranes can be varied, from initial steps of fabrication all the way to the operational stage, making the overall process efficient and cost-effective. The choice of the appropriate material and the best fabrication technique in the light of the final application is crucial since it determines the membrane permeation and separation efficiencies. In this Special Issue, we are highlighting the current advancements in materials and methods in membrane fabrication and their structure:application correlation.
