A system for removing microbes from a surface, where the microbes are retained by a film, or a film that can prevent microbes from attaching on a surface are described, where the film is electrically connected to a voltage source via surface electrodes. The film can include a tunable dielectric material, and the dielectric constant of the dielectric material can be adjusted to alter the attachment of microbes on the surface when the surface is contacted by the dielectric material. The surface to be contacted can include any surface present in households, water treatment facilities, food industry facilities, soil remediation, or medical facilities. Such surfaces can include tables, countertops, walls, cabinets, doors, door handles, door knobs, etc. The system can also be used to treat any devices used in the aforementioned environments, such as food preparation equipment, medical devices, water cooler tower equipment, etc. |
