Pulsed plasma polymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide leads to the deposition of thermoresponsive films. The reversible (switching) behavior of these poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) surfaces has been exemplified by screening the adsorption of fibrinogen and fluorescein isothiocyanate labeled bovine serum albumin proteins by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and fluorescence microscopy at low and elevated temperatures.
