Ultrathin polyelectrolyte gel pH‐responsive membranes with sub‐micrometer pore size are synthesized on planar substrates. The membranes are thin porous films made of a crosslinked polyelectrolyte that can be easily transferred onto various porous and nonporous substrates for the fabrication of devices with pH‐controllable permeability (see figure).
