journal of
MEMBRANE
SCIENCE
The journal provides a focal point for ‘‘membranologists’’ and a vehicle for the publication of significant contributions that advance the science and technology of membrane processes and phenomena.The primary emphasis is on the structure and function of non-biological membranes, but papers bridging the gap between non-biological and biological membranes are sought. A broad spectrum of papers is encouraged:
• theory of membrane transport
• experimental data on membrane permeation
• membrane structure and its relation to transport
• membrane processes with a focus on membrane science aspects
The Journal of Membrane Science publishes Full Text Papers, State-of-the-Art Reviews and Letters to the Editors. Prospective Review authors are requested to contact one of the Editors prior to submission.
