Owing to its superior tribological and mechanical properties with corrosion resistance,
biocompatibility, and hemocompatibility, diamond-like carbon (DLC) has emerged as a …

Production of wear debris has been linked to the failure of numerous hip implants. With the
current focus on increasing the implant longevity, thus wear and corrosion resistance is …

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 …

The hemocompatibility of a TiN/TiC/diamond‐like carbon (DLC) multilayer structure,
deposited on titanium substrates for use as coatings for a heart valve prosthesis, has been …

The trend toward an aging population in the highly developed countries of the world has the
demand for innovative biomedical devices and tools at record levels. The products desired …

Amorphous carbon films have attracted much attention recently due to their good
biocompatibility. Diamond-like carbon (DLC), one form of amorphous carbon that is widely …

An interlayer approach was adopted to achieve adequate adhesion between a DLC coating
deposited by plasma-assisted CVD and a titanium substrate as part of a study to coat a bi …

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films have been the focus of extensive research in recent years
