Abstract:

Biofilms are central to some of the most urgent global challenges across diverse fields of application, from medicine to industries to the environment, and exert considerable economic and social impact. A fundamental assumption in anti-biofilms has been that the coating on a substrate surface is solid. The invention of slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces-a continuously wet lubricating coating retained on a solid surface by capillary forces-has led to this being challenged. However, in situations where flow occurs, shear stress may deplete the lubricant and affect the anti-biofilm performance. Here, we report on the use of slippery omniphobic covalently attached liquid (SOCAL) surfaces, which provide a surface coating with short (ca. 4 nm) non-cross-linked polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) chains retaining liquid-surface properties, as an antibiofilm strategy stable under shear stress from flow. This surface reduced biofilm formation of the key biofilm-forming pathogens Staphylococcus epidermidis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa by three-four orders of magnitude compared to the widely used medical implant material PDMS after 7 days under static and dynamic culture conditions. Throughout the entire dynamic culture period of P. aeruginosa, SOCAL significantly outperformed a typical antibiofilm slippery surface [i.e., swollen PDMS in silicone oil (S-PDMS)]. We have revealed that significant oil loss occurred after 2-7 day flow for S-PDMS, which correlated to increased contact angle hysteresis (CAH), indicating a degradation of the slippery surface properties, and biofilm formation, while SOCAL has stable CAH and sustainable antibiofilm performance after 7 day flow. The significance of this correlation is to provide a useful easy-to-measure physical parameter as an indicator for long-term antibiofilm performance. This biofilm-resistant liquid-like solid surface offers a new antibiofilm strategy for applications in medical devices and other areas where biofilm development is problematic.
