Abstract: A tremendous effort has been made for the synthesis and multifunction of environmentally responsive and selective separation membranes. With the bioinspired design of polydopamine (pDA)-assisted inorganic film, we proposed a simple, yet efficient, thermo-responsive cell culture substrate. Herein, a Ag/TiO2/pDA-based nanocomposite structure was initially obtained, and the ciprofloxacin-imprinted membranes (MINCMs) with thermo-responsive recognition sites were then synthesized by using NIPAm as backbone monomer. The opto-thermally responsive molecularly imprinted membranes (OT-MIMs) were obtained through in situ reduction of HAuCl4 on membrane surfaces, Au nanoparticles were used as the light-heat converters. The light-switching principle was elaborated as well as the energy conversions that took place in this system. These conformational changes finally allowed the constructions or destructions of ciprofloxacin-imprinted sites. Due to the formation of the opto-thermally responsive ciprofloxacin-imprinted sites, rapid adsorption dynamics and opto-thermally responsive perm-selectivity toward templates were both achieved. Therefore, 58.65 mg/g of adsorption capacity and 4.91 of permselectivity factor from OT-MIMs were successfully obtained. Importantly, the as-designed bioinspired strategy led to a state-of-the-art design that was capable of reversibly controlling the flow rate (J) of ciprofloxacin from 12.10 to 4.93 mg min-1 cm-2 in less than a few minutes using light
