In the present work, we have developed a simple but effective method to prepare superlong vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (SLVA-CNT) and epoxy composite membranes, and we have demonstrated that various liquids, including water, hexane, and dodecane, can effectively pass through the SLVA-CNT membranes. These results were confirmed by molecular dynamics simulations, While the mechanical densification was used to further enhance the flow transport through the SLVA-CNT membranes, we developed in this study a magnetic-nanoparticle switching system to turn on and off the flow through the nanotube membrane by simply applying an alternating voltage. The methodologies developed in this study should have a significant implication to the development of various smart membranes for advanced intelligent systems.
