Abstract

See full text

One aspect of the present disclosure can include a thermoresponsive nanocomposite for disrupting or preventing biofilm formation. The nanocomposite can include at least one polymer, one or more D-amino acids, and one or more energy-actuatable particles. The nanocomposite can have a first viscosity at about room temperature and, when exposed to about physiological temperature, obtains a second viscosity that is greater than the first viscosity. Application of energy to the nanocomposite from an energy source can excite the one or more energy-actuatable particles to cause localized heat release from the nanocomposite.
