Transparent and nanostructured polymer membranes (see Figure of cells attached to membrane surface) have been fabricated successfully via the polymerization of bicontinuous microemulsions. The resultant membranes demonstrate temperature-dependent swelling behavior with increased water uptake at lower temperatures. These membranes could be used as wound dressings or as support for cell grafting.
