Thermally controlled wettability of a nanoporous membrane grafted with catechol-tethered poly(N-isopropylacrylamide).
A nanoporous membrane is coated with catechol-tethered poly(N-isopropylacrylamide). The thermosensitive variation of surface wettability determines the hindered diffusivity of dextran (40 kDa) through the nanopores.
