Systematic membrane design is important to develop next generation synthetic–membranes, and necessary functions are not only separation but also molecular recognitions and actuation like bio–membranes. Those functions should be coordinated in the membrane pores and the assembly to maximize a specific output. We should systematically design the multi functions in the membranes. A novel molecular recognition gating membrane was developed. The device facilitates to make a new process showing bio–membrane–like systematic functions. The membrane is a porous thin film, and the pores rapidly open and close in response to specific ion or molecular signals. The molecular recognition ion gating membranes can control membrane flux, molecular weight cut–off curve, and osmotic pressure. Those functions can be coordinated and make an oscillation device which the membrane pores can be opened and closed autonomously with time. Those membranes can be applied to tissue engineering and bio–sensors. We can systematically design the multi functions from molecular level to macro level in the pores, and the hierarchical design and developing approach was explained.
