HardCover. Pub Date: 2011 Jun Pages: 268 Language: English Publisher: Zhejiang University Press The book is composed of 12 chapters In Chapter 1. a ief introduction of smart or intelligent memanes as emerging of artificial biomimetic memanes will be outlined. In Chapter 2. the emphasis is focused on the design. microstructures and performance of thermo-responsive gating memanes. because in many cases the environmental temperature fluctuations can occur naturally and the temperature stimuli can be easily designed and artificially controlled. The contents of this chapter on thermo-responsive gating memanes are also valuable for designing and faicating other stimuli-responsive gating memanes. In Chapters 3 and 4. smart microcapsules with thermo-responsive gating memanes and with thermo responsive hydrogel memanes are introduced respectively. which are designed for the purpose o...
