The project focuses on developing advanced diamond-like carbon coatings with localized silver doping to enhance biocompatibility and mechanical properties for biomedical applications. This innovative approach aims to improve joint implants' performance while minimizing potential toxicity.
Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings are renowned for their excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility.
The overall DLC market is projected a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14% by 2020, while the DLC in biomedical sector alone is growing with a CAGR of 33%, which is inspiring advanced DLC research for biomedical use.
Hard DLC coatings have poor toughness which limits their application for joint implants that involve impact, shear, and torsion.
Silver-doped DLC coatings (Ag-DLC) ar…
