Abstract
At the time when pathogens are developing robust resistance to antibiotics, the demand for implant surfaces with microbe-killing capabilities has significantly risen. To achieve this goal, profound understanding of the underlying mechanisms is crucial. Our study demonstrates that graphene oxide (GO) nano films deposited on stainless steel (SS316L) exhibit superior antibacterial features. The physicochemical properties of GO itself play a pivotal role in influencing biological events and their diversity may account for the contradictory results reported elsewhere. However, essential properties of GO coatings, such as oxygen content and the resulting electrical conductivity, have been overlooked so far. We hypothesize that the surface potential and electrical resistance of the oxygen content in the GO-nano films may induce bacteria-killing events on conductive metallic substrates. In our study, the GO applied contains 52 wt% of oxygen, and thus exhibits insulating properties. When deposited as a nano film on an electrically conducting steel substrate, GO flakes generate a Schottky barrier at the interface. This barrier, consequently, impedes the transfer of electrons to the underlying conductive substrate. As a result, this creates reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to bacterial death. We confirmed the presence of GO coatings and their hydrolytic stability by using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), μRaman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) measurements. The biological evaluation was performed on the MG63 osteoblast-like cell line and two selected bacteria species: S. aureus and P. aeruginosa, demonstrating both the cytocompatibility and antibacterial behavior of GO-coated SS316L substrates. We propose a two-step bactericidal mechanism: electron transfer from the bacteria membrane to the substrate, followed by ROS generation. This mechanism finds support in changes observed in contact angle, surface potential, and work function, identified as decisive factors. By addressing overlooked factors and effectively bridging the gap between understanding and practicality, we present a transformative approach for implant surfaces, combating microbial resistance, and offering new application possibilitie.

Abstract
Using a blister test, we measured the work of separation between MoS2 membranes from metal, semiconductor, and graphite substrates. We found a work of separation ranging from 0.11 ± 0.05 J/m2 for chromium to 0.39 ± 0.1 J/m2 for graphite substrates. In addition, we measured the work of adhesion of MoS2 membranes over these substrates and observed a dramatic difference between the work of separation and adhesion, which we attribute to adhesion hysteresis. Due to the prominent role that adhesive forces play in the fabrication and functionality of devices made from 2D materials, an experimental determination of the work of separation and adhesion as provided here will help guide their development.

Abstract
The flexible and clinging nature of ultrathin films requires an understanding of their elastic and adhesive properties in a wide range of circumstances from fabrications to applications. Simultaneously measuring both properties, however, is extremely difficult as the film thickness diminishes to the nanoscale. Here we address such difficulties through peeling by pulling thin films off from the substrates (we thus refer to it as "pull-to-peel"). Particularly, we perform in situ pull-to-peel of graphene and MoS2 films in a scanning electron microscope and achieve simultaneous determination of their Young's moduli and adhesions to gold substrates. This is in striking contrast to other conceptually similar tests available in the literature, including indentation tests (only measuring elasticity) and spontaneous blisters (only measuring adhesion). Furthermore, we show a weakly nonlinear Hooke's relation for the pull-to-peel response of two-dimensional materials, which may be harnessed for the design of nanoscale force sensors or exploited in other thin-film systems.

Abstract
Combining molecular dynamics (MD) and continuum simulations, we study the dynamics of propagation of a peeling front in a system composed of multilayered graphene nanosheets completely immersed in water. Peeling is induced by lifting one of the nanosheet edges with an assigned pulling velocity normal to the flat substrate. Using MD, we compute the pulling force as a function of the pulling velocity, and quantify the viscous resistance to the advancement of the peeling front. We compare the MD results to a 1D continuum model of a sheet loaded with modelled hydrodynamic loads. Our results show that the viscous dependence of the force on the velocity is negligible below a threshold velocity. Above this threshold, the hydrodynamics is mainly controlled by the viscous resistance associated to the flow near the crack opening, while lubrication forces are negligible owing to the large hydrodynamic slip at the liquid-solid boundary. Two dissipative mechanisms are identified: a drag resistance to the upward motion of the edge, and a resistance to the gap opening associated to the curvature of the flow streamlines near the entrance. Surprisingly, the shape of the sheet was found to be approximately independent of the pulling velocity even for the largest velocities considered.

Abstract
Demands for next-generation soft and responsive materials have sparked recent interest in the development of shape-changing particles and particle assemblies. Over the last two decades, a variety of mechanisms that drive shape change have been explored and integrated into particulate systems. Through a combination of top-down fabrication and bottom-up synthesis techniques, shape-morphing capabilities extend from the microscale to the nanoscale. Consequently, shape-morphing particles are rapidly emerging in a variety of contexts, including photonics, microfluidics, microrobotics, and biomedicine. Herein, the key mechanisms and materials that facilitate shape changes of microscale and nanoscale particles are discussed. Recent progress in the applications made possible by these particles is summarized, and perspectives on their promise and key open challenges in the field are discussed.

Abstract
Adhesive interactions between elastic structures such as graphene sheets, carbon nanotubes, and microtubules have been shown to exhibit hysteresis due to irrecoverable energy loss associated with bond breakage, even in static (rate-independent) experiments. To understand this phenomenon, we start with a minimal theory for the peeling of a thin sheet from a substrate, coupling the local event of bond breaking to the nonlocal elastic relaxation of the sheet and show that this can drive static adhesion hysteresis over a bonding/debonding cycle. Using this model we quantify hysteresis in terms of the adhesion and elasticity parameters of the system. This allows us to derive a scaling relation that preserves hysteresis at different levels of granularity while resolving a seeming paradox of lattice trapping in the continuum limit of a discrete fracture process. Finally, to verify our theory, we use new experiments to demonstrate and measure adhesion hysteresis in bundled microtubules.

Abstract
The lifting, peeling and exfoliation of physisorbed ribbons (or flakes) of 2D material such as graphene off a solid surface are common and important manoeuvres in nanoscience. The feature that makes this case peculiar is the structural lubricity generally realized by stiff 2D material contacts. We model theoretically the mechanical peeling of a nanoribbon of graphene as realized by the tip-forced lifting of one of its extremes off a flat crystal surface. The evolution of shape, energy, local curvature and body advancement are ideally expected to follow a succession of regimes: (A) initial prying, (B) peeling with stretching but without sliding (stripping), (C) peeling with sliding, (D) liftoff. In the case where in addition the substrate surface corrugation is small or negligible, then (B) disappears, and we find that the (A)-(C) transition becomes universal, analytical and sharp, determined by the interplay between bending rigidity and adsorption energy. This general two-stage peeling transition is identified as a sharp crossover in published data of graphene nanoribbons pulled off an atomic-scale Au(111) substrate.

Abstract
Because of their atomic thinness, two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets need be bound to a substrate or be dispersed in material in various applications. The surface tension (ST) of a 2D nanosheet is critical for analyzing the physicochemical interactions between 2D nanosheets and other materials. To date, the determination of the ST of 2D nanosheets has relied mainly on the contact angle (CA) method. However, because of the difficulty in measuring the thermodynamically significant Young?s CA, which is the only meaningful CA that can be used to determine the ST, significant differences exist in reported STs of 2D nanosheets. In this study, we obtained such unique Young?s CAs on graphene, boron nitride, molybdenum disulfide, and tungsten disulfide nanosheets by a low-rate advancing contact angle measurement using a rigorously designed experimental setup. By interpreting the CA with Neumann?s equation of state, we determined the STs of these four nanosheets to be 29.7 ? 0.6, 30.9 ? 0.7, 27.8 ? 0.7, and 29.1 ? 0.8 mJ/m2, respectively. The surface energies of these 2D nanosheets were estimated to be in the range 95?120 mJ/m2 by considering the contribution of ST and surface entropy. The accuracy of these determined STs was validated by the exfoliation and dispersion of 2D nanosheets in liquids with a series of STs. The study may have important implications for understanding the physicochemical interactions between 2D nanosheets and other materials and the development of 2D nanosheet-based devices.

Abstract
Metal-surface physisorbed graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) constitute mobile nanocontacts whose interest is simultaneously mechanical, electronic, and tribological. Previous work showed that GNRs adsorbed on Au(111) generally slide smoothly and superlubrically owing to the incommensurability of their structures. We address here the nanomechanics of detachment, as realized when one end is picked up and lifted by an AFM cantilever. AFM nanomanipulations and molecular-dynamics (MD) simulations identify two successive regimes, characterized by (i) a progressively increasing local bending, accompanied by the smooth sliding of the adhered part, followed by (ii) a stick-slip dynamics involving sudden bending relaxation associated with intermittent jumps of the remaining adhered GNR segment and tail end. AFM measurements of the vertical force exhibit oscillations which, compared with MD simulations, can be associated with the successive detachment of individual GNR unit cells of length 0.42 nm. Extra modulations within one single period are caused by steplike advancements of the still-physisorbed part of the GNR. The sliding of the incommensurate moiré pattern that accompanies the GNR lifting generally yields an additional long-period oscillation: while almost undetectable when the GNR is aligned in the standard "R30" orientation on Au(111), we predict that such feature should become prominent in the alternative rotated "R0" orientation on the same surface, or on a different surface, such as perhaps Ag(111).

Abstract
In nanofabrication, just as in any other craft, the scale of spatial details is limited by the dimensions of the tool at hand. For example, the smallest details of direct laser writing with far-field light are set by the diffraction limit, which is approximately half of the used wavelength. In this work, we overcome this universal assertion by optically forging graphene ripples that show features with dimensions unlimited by diffraction. Thin sheet elasticity simulations suggest that the scaled-down ripples originate from the interplay between substrate adhesion, in-plane strain, and circular symmetry. The optical forging technique thus offers an accurate way to modify and shape 2D materials and facilitates the creation of controllable nanostructures for plasmonics, resonators, and nano-optics.

Abstract
Graphene and functionalized graphene are promising candidates as ultrathin solid lubricants for dealing with the adhesion and friction in micro- and nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS and NEMS). Here, the dynamic friction and adhesion characteristics of pristine graphene (PG), graphene oxide (GO), and fluorinated graphene (FG) were comparatively studied using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The friction as a function of load shows nonlinear characteristic on GO with strong adhesion and linear characteristic on PG and FG with relatively weak adhesions. An adhesion enhancement phenomenon that the slide-off force after dynamic friction sliding is larger than the pull-off force is observed. The degree of adhesion enhancement increases with the increasing surface energy, accompanied by a corresponding increase in transient friction strengthening effect. The dynamic adhesion and friction enhancements are attributed to the coupling of dynamic tip sliding and surface hydrophilic properties. The atomic-scale stick-slip behaviors confirm that the interfacial interaction is enhanced during dynamic sliding, and the enhancing degree depends on the surface hydrophilic properties. These findings demonstrate the adhesive strength between the contact surfaces can be enhanced in the dynamic friction process, which needs careful attention in the interface design of MEMS and NEMS.
