In the present work, we systematically investigate the tribocorrosion behaviour of diamond-
like carbon (DLC) films on 316L stainless steel substrates in the context of their biomedical …

In the present work, the corrosion performance and mechanical stability of diamond-like
carbon (DLC) coatings were investigated in the context of their biomedical applications. DLC …

Diamondlike carbon (DLC) has been well known as a very hard and very low-friction
material. The most critical issue of DLC is to improve its adhesion. To improve the adhesion …

Films of diamond-like carbon containing up to 22 at.% silicon (DLC-Si) were deposited on to
silicon substrates by low-frequency pulsed DC plasma activated chemical vapor deposition …
