Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A Special Issue of Polymers will be devoted to the synthesis of ion exchange membranes and their use in electromembrane technologies. Electromembrane technologies are widely demanded in a number of modern industries. Ion-exchange membranes are one of the most widespread and demanded types of membranes. Their main task is a selective transfer of certain ions and prevention of transfer of other ions or molecules, and the most important characteristics are ionic conductivity and selectivity of transfer processes.
This Issue will cover the following areas:
- Synthesis of new ion-exchange membranes, including hybrid membranes;
- The structure and properties of membranes;
- Ion transfer in membranes;
- Modification of membrane and electrode materials;
- Membranes in alternative energy (fuel cells, metal-ion batteries, reverse electrodialysis, etc.);
- Desalination, concentration, purification, and separation of liquid mixtures by electrodialysis, hybrid membrane methods;
- Electromembrane technologies in the food industry;
- Intensification of mass transfer in electromembrane modules.

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.
