Abstract

Smart carbon nanotube (CNT)-framed (SCNF) membranes were prepared by self-assembly of highly thermo conductive CNT molecules hybridized with chitosan (Chit) in a core–shell structure and then by chemical integration of a temperature-responsive copolymer, poly(NIPAAm-co-BVIm) (or pNIBIm), as an additional outer shell.
