Abstract

Polymer membranes comprising slide-ring gels with movable cross-links exhibit a nonlinear pressure-dependence in the fluidic flow rate. The proportional constant between the flow rate and pressure significantly changes at a critical pressure. The slide-ring gels are promising polymer membrane materials, which would allow for the on-off control of fluid permeability using an imposed pressure.
