Preface
As emerging artificial biomimetic membranes, smart or intelligent membranes that are able to respond to environmental stimuli are attracting ever-increasing interest from various fields. Their surface characteristics and/or permeation properties including hydraulic permeability (pressure-driven convective flow of solvents) and diffusional permeability (concentration-driven molecular diffusion of solutes) can be dramatically controlled or adjusted self-regulatively in response to small chemical and/or physical stimuli in their environments, such as temperature, pH, ionic strength, electrical field, photo irradiation, g
