A smart and reversible chemo-mechanical switch was developed by synthesis of a thermally responsive block copolymer brush poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-hexafluoroisopropyl acrylate) (P(NIPAAm-co-HFIPA)) on a capillary plate. With the temperature changing around lower critical solution temperature (LCST), the designed chemo-mechanical switch exhibited excellent ON-OFF'' behavior for water transportation.
