In this study, we prepared ultrafiltration membranes with a decoupled responses of filtration property to temperature and pH. The membrane preparation method was developed based on our previous work. We utilized methanol-supercritical carbon dioxide (methanol-scCO<sub>2</sub>) selective swelling method to introduce nanopores to block copolymers containing poly(diethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PMEO<sub>2</sub>MA), poly(N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) and polystyrene (PS) blocks. Formation of the mesoporous barrier layer with PS being the mechanically stable part of the matrix was driven by selective swelling of the PMEO<sub>2</sub>MA-b-PDMAEMA domains. Due to the selective swelling of PMEO<sub>2</sub>MA or PDMAEMA domains to introduce pores, the interior of the pores are covered with PMEO<sub>2</sub>MA or PDMAEMA blocks after pore formation. The PMEO<sub>2</sub>MA-b-PDMAEMA polymer brushes are naturally attached on the pore walls and worked as functional gates. PMEO<sub>2</sub>MA is a non-toxic, neutral thermo-responsive polymer with LCST at 26 ᴼC. PDMAEMA is a typical weak polyelectrolyte with pK<sub>a</sub> value at 7.0-7.5 and also a thermo-responsive polymer revealed a LCST of 20-80 °C in aqueous solution. Therefore, these membranes were expected to have multi dimensions as function of the combination of temperature and pH. Moreover, to understand the detail of the temperature and pH depended conformation transitions of PMEO<sub>2</sub>MA-b-PDMAEMA brushes, those diblock copolymers were end-tethered on flat substrates and analyzed via neutron reflectivity (NR).
