Outline of Final Research Achievements

The thermally responsive membrane was prepared using positive thermosensitive polymer and introduced gold nanorods having absorption properties for near-infrared light in the membrane. The solvent permeation behavior of the membrane with irradiating near-infrared laser was investigated. The permeation control with switching near-infrared light was successfully achieved using photothermal effect of the gold nanorods.
