Light-responsive membranes based on a porous polycarbonate (PC) matrix were developed by surface functionalization with spirobenzopyran (SP)-containing polymers. The surface modification was generated by plasma-induced surface graft polymerization. Mass transfer rates of caffeine through these membranes were found to be up to eight times higher under UV irradiation than at daylight.
