Zusammenfassung:One embodiment of the present invention provides a polymer film which has a changed shape according to an external temperature and suppresses the growth of microorganisms on a surface by mixing a depolymerized suberin derivatives extracted from a natural cork with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) in order to achieve stimulus responsive and antibacterial properties which are not present in a conventional PDMS material, and the method of manufacturing the same. According to the one embodiment of the present invention, the polymer film can be applied to flexible electronics of which shapes may be changed to fit the characteristics of the human body, human body-attached medical devices for preventing bacterial infections, or the like.
