摘要
The mechano-bactericidal property of nanostructured surfaces has become the focus of intensive research toward the development of a new generation of antibacterial surfaces, especially in the current era of spreading antibiotic resistance. However, the mechanisms underlying nanostructured surfaces mechanically damaging bacteria remain unclear, which ultimately limits translational potential toward real-world applications. Using finite element simulation technique, we developed the three-dimensional thin wall with turgor pressure finite element model (3D-TWTP-FEM) of bacterial cell and verified the reliability of this model by the AFM indentation experiment simulation of the cell, and the cell model is able to simulate suspended bacterial cell and the process of cell adhering to the flat and nanopillar surfaces. Since bacterial cells suffer greater stress and deformation on the nanopillar surfaces, a two-stage model of the elastic and creep deformation stage of the cells on the nanostructured surfaces was developed. The calculations show that the location of the maximum stress/strain on the cells adhered to the nanopillar surfaces is at the liquid-cell-nanopillar three phase contact line. The computational results confirmed the ability of nanostructured surfaces to mechanically lyse bacteria and gave the effect of nanopillar geometry on the efficiency and speed of bacterial cell rupture. This study provides fundamental physical insights into how nanopillar surfaces can serve as effective and fast mechanical antimicrobial materials.
