Cover Story: In this paper, amphiphilic copolymers with temperature-, pH-, ion-, and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD)-responsive properties were prepared, and the laws of changes in the properties in response to external stimuli were systematically and quantitatively studied. The β-CD-modified surfaces were fabricated to immobilize copolymers via adamantyl groups. Then, the antifouling and antibacterial performance was further evaluated via the fluorescence intensity of bovine serum albumin (BSA) adsorbed on the surfaces and the spread plate method. A 78.4% BSA desorption rate and a 96.8% sterilization rate were achieved by the PAdaM3QA−10% coating. In summary, this work prepared a multiple-stimuli-responsive amphiphilic copolymer for antifouling and antibacterial functionality via a “resistance–kill–release” mechanism. View this paper
