Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) Coatings: Classification, Properties, and Applications

Biomedical applications of diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings: A review

To resist wear, biomedical components require coatings that are exceptionally hard, have low friction, and are bioinert. Diamond-like carbon has been shown to provide this capability and to prevent leaching of metallic ions into the body. There are many ways to deposit such coatings from carbonaceous precursors, and some offer the means to incorporate other elements such as nitrogen, titanium, ...

Gałuszka School of Economics, Law and Medical Sciences in Kielce, Poland The a C:H:W, TiN/a C:H:W and the CrN/a C:H:W coatings were deposited on steel surface by physical vapour deposition methods and studied for corrosion and tribological properties, after elemental and...

Diamond-Like-Carbon Coatings for Advanced Biomedical Applications

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) is considered as a versatile coating material that finds a variety of mechanical and biomedical applications, including endoprosthesis and dental implants [1]. It provides mechanical robustness and cell-compatibility at the same time. Therefore, DLC has been extensively researched for achieving high hardness, low friction, high wear resistance to make it more sustainab...

Biomedical applications of diamond-like carbon coatings: a review.

Owing to its superior tribological and mechanical properties with corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, and hemocompatibility, diamond-like carbon (DLC) has emerged as a promising material for biomedical applications. DLC films with various atomic bond structures and compositions are finding places in orthopedic, cardiovascular, and dental applications. Cells grew on to DLC coating without an...
