Physical disruption is an important antibacterial means as it is lethal to bacteria without spurring antimicrobial resistance. However, it is very challenging to establish a quantifiable relationship between antibacterial efficacy and physical interactions such as mechanical and electrical forces. Herein, titanium nitride (TN) nanowires with adjustable orientations and capacitances are prepared to...
Antibacterial Surfaces
In article number 2212315, Guomin Wang, Kaiwei Tang, Jianzhong Du, Paul K. Chu, and co‐workers report a titanium nitride nanowire coating synthesized by a liquid‐phase oxidation process and nitridation. The charged surfaces kill bacteria by exerting electro–mechanical forces, piercing the bacterial membrane and disturbing the electron balance. This work provides new insights...
