(a) At room temperature, Rhodamine-B and methylene blue solutions were separated into two opposite directions at the crossroads; the pink solution moved to the LIM, and the blue solution went to the AC pump. (b) After heating two pumps to a temperature higher than LCST, the slit-shaped pores of the SIM were opened. Afterward, the pink and blue solutions were drawn toward the AC pump. w_a and w_b are the widths of Rhodamine-B and methylene blue solution passing through the channel of the AC pump side. (c) The relative flow rates of the solutions at the channel of the AC pump side were evaluated after heating the two pumps for 120s and cooling down to room temperature afterward. The values of f_a and f_b indicate the relative flow rates of Rhodamine-B solution and methylene blue solution, respectively.
