Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Membrane separation is continuously gaining attention over the last few decades due to its low-energy consumption, the ease of scaling it up, and its flexibility in operation. It has been already successfully used in the industry and for municipal needs including desalination, water treatment, gas separation, and food applications. However, the efficiency of the separation process is mostly attributed to the membrane performance. This Special Issue will highlight the recent advances in the preparation of novel polymeric membranes for different kind of applications like gas separation, filtration of aqueous and non-aqueous media, membrane contactor systems, (waste)water treatment and other areas.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
