Abstract: Biocompatible polymer-coated transition metal chalcogenide (TMC) nanomaterials are provided herein. In particular, provided herein are two-dimensional polymer-coated TMC nanomaterials having excellent antimicrobial properties and biocompatibility, as well as methods of inhibiting microbiological growth on, or in, devices coated by or otherwise comprising the biocompatible polymer-coated transition metal chalcogenide (TMC) nanomaterials. In some cases, the biopolymer coating encapsulating the TMC nanomaterial comprises short synthetic single-stranded DNAs (ssDNAs). As described herein, ssDNA-encapsulated TMDCs exhibit no cytotoxicity against human cell lines at concentrations up to 0.25 mg/mL, but they exhibit exceptionally strong bactericidal activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli and a gram-positive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strain. In other cases, TMDCs encapsulated by poly-L-lysine and Pluronic F77 display strong activity against multi drug resistance bacteria and form coatings that strongly inhibit bacterial biofilms, while TMDCs encapsulated by chitosan exhibit strong activity against fungi.

Abstract: Some embodiments include a method of producing metal diboride nanomaterials having thickness down to the atomic scale and lateral areas from 10 nm to over 1 μm by preparing a mixture of a metal diboride and a suspending solution. The suspending solution can be an organic solvent or a solution containing water, and optionally can include a dispersion agent, such as a surfactant, a polymer, small molecule, or biopolymer. Further, the method includes exfoliating the metal diboride by exposing the mixture to ultrasonic energy, centrifuging the mixture forming supernatant that includes a dispersion of exfoliated metal diborides, and extracting the dispersion from the supernatant. Some embodiments include extracting the supernatant and casting the solution by diluting the dispersion with a second suspending solution that includes dissolved polymer. This can result in a composite film includes a dispersion of the exfoliated metal diborides and provides improved mechanical properties.
