Abstract:
The stability and reversibility of thermo-responsive smart gating membranes prepared by different grafting methods are investigated systematically. Thermo-responsive smart gating membranes with poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) grafting gates are successfully prepared by using both plasma-induced pore-filling grafting polymerization and atom transfer radical polymerization. The optimum ranges of grafting yields of these smart gating membranes prepared by different methods are 3.6~6.9% and 10.8~26.1% respectively. The corresponding optimum relative thermo-responsive gating coefficients are 100 and 80, respectively. Both smart gating membranes show satisfactory reversibility and stability during more than 60 runs of high/low-temperature water flux experiments. The experimental results provide important and valuable guidance for preparation and application of environmental stimuli-responsive gating membranes.
