    Abstract: An antimicrobial deformable element (500) and method (800) of making same can include a core layer (508), at least a first surface layer (507) made of piezoelectric materials applied above the core layer, and a doped diamond layer (501a) applied to at least the first surface layer, where the doped diamond layer forms a plurality of rough nanostructured structures forming a plurality of electrodes (504) and counter-electrodes (502) on at least the first surface layer to provide antimicrobial effects from the material structure itself and from a voltage (or current) generated from a deformation of the antimicrobial deformable element. The voltage difference will typically occur between different rough nanostructured structures having different polarity upon deformation of the deformable element. Such deformation can be bending of a card, but other deformation causing a current or voltage is within contemplation of the embodiments.
