Four-arm star-shaped copolymers, TPE-star-P(DMA-co-BMA-co-Gd), containing TPE cores with an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) feature, a T 1-type magnetic resonance (MR) contrast agent, and amphiphilic cationic arms, are synthesized. By taking advantage of non-covalent interactions between star copolymers bacteria surfaces, bimodal fluorometric/MR detection concomitant inhibition both Gram-positive Gram-negative strains in aqueous media explored.
