On-Demand Removal of Bacterial Biofilms via Shape Memory Activation

[Image: see text] Bacterial biofilms are a major cause of chronic infections and biofouling; however, effective removal of established biofilms remains challenging. Here we report a new strategy for biofilm control using biocompatible shape memory polymers with defined surface topography. These surf...
