Answer:

The sharklet film creates a phenomenon reffed to as  mechanotransduction.

Through the process of mechanotransduction, mechanical stress is created to the bacteria whereby they cannot attach themselves to the surface because it makes them to produce more energy to settle on the surface thus they may keep off from the surface. In this manner, bacteria is inhibited from attacking these areas protected by the sharklet film.
