Reversible Self-Actuated Thermo-Responsive Pore Membrane. [PDF]
, 2016 Smart membranes, which can selectively control the transfer of light, air, humidity and temperature, are important to achieve indoor climate regulation. Even though reversible self-actuation of smart membranes is desirable in large-scale, reversible self-
