Early studies involving the implantation of DLC-coated pins into sheep showed good
bonding of the tissue to the DLC, indicating its value as a biocompatible coating. During the …

Preliminary studies have shown that diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings can be adherent
on a range of substrate materials, resistant to wear and non-toxic to cells in vitro. This has …

This paper reviews the present status of studies of biocompatibility of diamond-like carbon
(DLC) and carbon nitride (CN) coatings. DLC and CN coatings, due to their novel …
