Nanoarchitectonics of Electrically Activable Phosphonium Self-Assembled Monolayers to Efficiently Kill and Tackle Bacterial Infections on Demand.

ABSTRACT: Prosthetic implants are widely used in dentistry and orthopedics and, as a result, infections can occur which cause their removal. Therefore, it is essential to propose methods of eradicating the bacteria that remain on the prosthesis during treatment. For this purpose, it is necessary to develop surfaces whose antibacterial activity can be controlled. Herein, we designed innovative and smart phosphonium self-assembled monolayer (SAM) interfaces that can be electrically activated on demand for controlling bacterial contaminations on solid surfaces. Upon electroactivation with a low potential (0.2 V for 60 min., conditions determined through a DOE), a successful stamping out of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains was obtained with SAM-modified titanium surfaces, effectively killing 95% of Staphylococcus aureus and 90% Klebsiellapneumoniae. More importantly, no toxicity towards eukaryotic cells was observed which further enhances the biocompatible character of these novel surfaces for further implementation.

Project description:Printing of electrical circuits and interconnects using isotropic conductive adhesives (ICAs) is of great interest due to their low-temperature processing and compatibility with substrates for applications in sensors, healthcare, and flexible devices. As a lower cost alternative to silver (Ag), copper (Cu)-filled ICAs are desirable but limited by the formation of high-resistivity Cu surface oxides. To overcome this limitation, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of octadecanethiol (ODT) have been demonstrated to reduce the oxidation of micrometer-scale Cu powder particles for use in ICAs. However, the deposition and function of the SAM require further investigation, as described in this paper. As part of this work, the stages of the SAM deposition process, which included etching with hydrochloric acid to remove pre-existing oxides, were studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), which showed low levels of subsequent Cu oxidation when ODT coated. The treated Cu powders were combined with one- or two-part epoxy resins to make Cu-ICAs, and the effect of the Cu surface condition and weight loading on electrical conductivity was examined. When thermally cured in an inert argon atmosphere, ICAs filled with Cu protected by ODT achieved electrical conductivity up to 20 × 105 S·m-1, comparable to Ag-ICAs, and were used to make a functional circuit. To understand the function of the SAM in these Cu-ICAs, scanning and transmission electron microscopy were used to examine the internal micro- and nano-structures along with the elemental distribution at the interfaces within sections taken from cured samples. Sulfur (S), indicative of the ODT, was still detected at the internal polymer-metal interface after curing, and particle-to-particle contacts were also examined. XPS also identified S on the surface of cured Cu-ICAs even after thermal treatment. Based on the observations, electrical contact and conduction mechanisms for these Cu-filled ICAs are proposed and discussed.
