Two types of liquid crystal (LC)-immobilized membranes were prepared by a soaking method and sandwich method to control the permeation of indomethacin, as a model drug, in response to local and systemic fever. Monooxyethylene trimethylolpropane tristearate (MTTS) was used as a model LC because it ha

Two types of liquid crystal (LC)-entrapped membranes, (a) polymer alloyed membranes and (b) LC-adsorbed membranes, were investigated for the purpose of developing the drug delivery systems (DDS) with thermal stimuli responsing. Polymer alloyed membranes were obtained by polymerizing acrylic monomers
## Abstract Thermoβresponsive porous membranes with grafted linear and crosslinked poly(__N__βisopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) gates are successfully prepared at temperatures above and below the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of PNIPAM by using a plasmaβinduced grafting polymerization meth
