Aims
Membranes (ISSN 2077-0375) is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal. The journal covers the broad aspects of the science and technology of both biological and non-biological membranes, including membrane dynamics and the preparation and characterization of membranes and their applications in water, environment, energy, and food industries. Membranesprovides a forum for publishing papers that advance our understanding of membrane structure, performance, processes, and applications covering membrane chemistry, physics, engineering, and biology. The journal publishes original reviews, research articles, and short communications. Authors are encouraged to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Thus, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. Full experimental, theoretical, and computational details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
