During the last two decades, the industry (including scientists) has focused on diamond-like
carbon (DLC) coating because of its wide range of application in various fields. This material …

The application of diamond like carbon (DLC) coatings in tribological applications, the range
of deposition methods employed and techniques for characterising the structure and …

Medical grade polyethylene-based skeletal implants exhibit osteo-disintegration, erosion,
and modest hemocompatibility. Herein, we report on the fabrication of highly adherent …

Fluorine doped diamond-like carbon (F-DLC) coatings were deposited on Ti-6Al-4V alloy
using a hollow cathode plasma immersion ion implantation deposition system. The aim of …

The hemocompatibility of plasma-treated, silicon-incorporated, diamond-like carbon (Si-
DLC) films was investigated. Si-DLC films with a Si concentration of 2at.% were prepared on …

Fluorine and sulfur co-doped amorphous carbon (aC: S: F) films were synthesized from C 2
H 2 and SF 6 plasma mixture, and the bonding states of S and F in films were scrutinized …

The first major event when a medical device comes in contact with blood is the adsorption of
plasma proteins. Protein adsorption on the material surface leads to the activation of the …

Over the years, reducing friction and wear-induced deformation, damage and/or removal of
material at various contact interfaces has always aroused significant interests due to the …

Diamond‐like carbon (DLC) is being considered for widespread clinical use as a surface
coating for cardiovascular devices. We synthesized fluorinated DLC (F‐DLC) coatings in …

Surface energy and surface chemical bonds of the plasma treated Si incorporated diamond-
like carbon films (Si-DLC) were investigated. The Si-DLC films were prepared by rf plasma …
