Abstract
A device configured for antimicrobial, in particular bacteriostatic or bactericidal, activity, and a method for manufacturing the device. The device includes a device body having a surface. The device body is configured to anchor thermal nanoparticles supporting optical resonance, in particular localized surface plasmon resonance, at its surface. The device body includes thermal nanoparticles supporting optical resonance, in particular localized surface plasmon resonance, bonded to the surface of the device body. The thermal nanoparticles are capable of increasing their temperature by light irradiation in a wavelength range that matches with the wavelength of the optical resonance, in particular localized surface plasmon resonance, of the thermal nanoparticles. The device body also includes an antimicrobial substance that is releasable from the device body.
