Antimicrobial and bacteria-releasing multifunctional surfaces: Oligo (p-phenylene-ethynylene)/poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) films deposited by RIR-MAPLE

- Antibacterial and bacteria-releasing OPE/PNIPAAm films were deposited by RIR-MAPLE.
- At 37 °C and under UVA-light, the OPE/PNIPAAm films kill attached bacteria.
- Dead bacteria can be removed from the film by rinsing with cold water at 25 °C.
