Today, many objects of our everyday life consist of coated materials indicating their growing importance in the modern era of technology. Following this trend in recent years, formation of a variety of smart coatings using macromolecular building blocks has been demonstrated. On that account, we investigate the potential of pH-sensitive ABC triblock terpolymer micelles. The use of such colloidal particles as base material for thin films has several advantages from a material-science perspective, e.g. these building blocks can be stimulus-responsive and multi-functional on the single particle level, while coatings can be formed by simple physisorption. Using the LbL approach for pH-responsive micelles leads to coatings with novel properties, internal hierarchy and collective stimulus response of the integrated nanostructures.[1] In our work, we investigate the effects of pH on surface properties of these films [2] and explore their potential for applications as active surfaces for self-regulated bacteria release which change their surface characteristics in response to cellular metabolism.[3] 1.
