Abstract:
Photoresponsive polymeric films fabricated by a facile electrostatic self-assembly technique are utilized to switch protein adsorption by light irradiation. The introduction of SiO(2) nanoparticles on the substrate results in a large reversible change of both wettability and protein adsorption.
