Electrophoretically Deposited Polymers for Organic Electronics 389

technique enables design of bacterial biofilms for biotechnological
applications (e.g., biosensors and bioreactors) or as protective coatings
of probiotic bacteria on, for instance, silver-impregnated urinary cath-
eters or voice prostheses in biomedical applications.
In spite of these interesting developments, a lot remains to be
done with regard to both fundamental understanding and the much
needed improvement of the method of electrophoretic deposition for
application to desired organic electronic devices.
