Special Issue on
Modern Materials for Advance Membranes Systems
CALL FOR PAPERS
Membranes are accredited as critically important realistic tools in addressing
and solving vital global needs in the 21st century for reliable, sustainable, and
efficient access to clean energy, water, and the environment. Therefore, advance
membranes have been employed for various applications including gas separation,
water purification, energy, and biomedical devices and show great promise in
reducing pollution and environmentally friendly system. Recently, the expanding
domain of membrane operations demands tailored materials with unprecedented
performances and resistance to temperature, chemicals, and solvents, at affordable
costs. Today, new polymeric, inorganic, and hybrid materials are specifically
engineered for the preparation of advanced membranes for industrial applications.
In general, state-of-the-art materials are used to fabricate advance membranes
with new characteristics and functions based on their synergetic effects. Overall,
enhancement in permeability, high selectivity, competitive operational cost, and
minimum environmental impact compared to other energy driven processes
are most desirable features from these synthetic membranes. As a result, these
membranes have been successfully used for natural gas treatment, separation of
organics, fuel cells, and high and low temperature catalytic membrane reactors.
The aim of this issue is to encapsulate the recent scientific and technological advances
in the development of materials for synthetic membranes and their potential
applications. Challenges and future research directions will also be considered
seriously. We thus invite researchers to contribute original research articles as well
as review articles that will increase the basic subject knowledge on materials for
synthetic membranes and lead to the development of modern materials. We are
particularly interested in articles describing theoretical and experimental works
related with materials for synthetic membranes and their applications. Review
articles on recent developments in terms of synthesis of these materials are also
welcome.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
Inorganic materials for membranes
Hybrid materials for membranes
Composites materials for membranes
Polymer composites materials for membranes
Polymer nanocomposites materials for membranes
Synthetic membranes for environmental application
Synthetic membranes as separator and barrier material
Synthetic membranes in engineering and biomedical application
Synthetic membranes for fuel cell
