Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Membrane separation processes have revolutionized several industries, including water purification, gas separation and pharmaceutical manufacturing, by providing an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly means of separating substances. The efficiency and selectivity of these processes are highly dependent on the membrane surface characteristics. Over the years, extensive research has been conducted to advance membrane surface modification and functionalization to improve the separation processes by tailoring membrane properties to specific application requirements.
Despite significant progress, there is a growing need for further research and innovation in this field. The aim of this Special Issue is to serve as a platform to present the latest findings and insights to promote the development of advanced membrane technologies, with a focus on theoretical and experimental advances in membrane surface chemistry, in particular, synthesis, characterization and separation performance. This Special Issue will highlight the importance of membrane surface modification and functionalization in improving separation processes and present cutting-edge research and developments in this field. It also aims to promote sustainable and efficient separation solutions for a wide range of applications.

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. Membranes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
