microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition.•The impact of the nanocrystalline diamond
on neural cells was evaluated.•Hydrogenated, oxygenated and boron-doped NCD coatings
are suitable for biomedical purposes.The aim of this study was to assess the impact of
nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) thin coatings on neural cell adhesion and proliferation. NCD
was fabricated on fused silica substrates by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition …
