Cell response and corrosion behavior of electrodeposited diamond-like carbon films on nanostructured titanium

Characterization of diamond-like carbon films deposited on commercially pure Ti and Ti–6Al–4V

The diamond-like carbon (DLC) films deposited on the articulating surface of medical-grade Ti and Ti–6Al–4V were characterized. The DLC films were synthesized by r.f. plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition (PACVD) using C6H6 at 10 mTorr. For wear tests, the ball-ondisk type wear tester was employed by wearing a 5-mm diameter ruby ball against a rotating metal disk. The DLC coating dramatical...

Investigation of corrosion behavior of nitrogen doped and platinum/ruthenium doped diamond-like carbon thin films in Hank's solution

Characterization and Corrosion Behavior of Hydroxyapatite- Coated Titanium Substrates Prepared Through Laser Induced Liquid Deposition Technique

Titanium and titanium alloys are often used in orthopedic surgery and dentistry because of their especial characteristics such as biocompatibility, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance. However, their bio- inertness is the most serious drawback for biomedical applications. Therefore, a bioactive coating like hydroxyapatite (HA) is coated on their surface. In this regard, in the prese...

Investigation of structure, adhesion strength, wear performance and corrosion behavior of platinum/ruthenium/nitrogen doped diamond-like carbon thin films with respect to film thickness

In this study, the corrosion performance of platinum/ruthenium/nitrogen doped diamond-like carbon (PtRuN-DLC) thin films deposited on p-Si substrates using a DCmagnetron sputtering deposition system in a 0.1M NaCl solution was investigated using potentiodynamic polarization test in terms of film thickness. Theeffect of thefilmthickness on the chemical composition, bonding structure, surfacemorp...

Effect of Catalyst on the Growth of Diamond-like Carbon by HFCVD

Diamond like carbon (DLC) film was grown by hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD)technique. In the present work, we investigated the quality of the DLC films groew on the substratesthat were coated with various metal nanocatalysts (Au and Ni). A combination of CH4/Ar/H2 rendersthe growth of carbon nanostructures technique (diamond like carbon). The utilized samples werecharacterized by...
