The preparation and investigation of a free-standing membrane made from a composite of thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAAm) and polystyrene nanoparticles (PS NP) with temperature-controlled permeability is reported. The method exploits the light-induced crosslinking of the photo-re...
