Owing to its superior tribological and mechanical properties with corrosion resistance,
biocompatibility, and hemocompatibility, diamond-like carbon (DLC) has emerged as a …

The use of biomaterials in implanted medical devices remains hampered by platelet
adhesion and blood coagulation. Thrombus formation is a prevalent cause of failure of these …

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings are extremely useful for creating biocompatible
surfaces on medical implants. DLC and silicon doped DLC synthesized on silicon wafer …

Nowadays nanotechnology has become a technological field with great potential since it
can be applied in almost every aspect of modern life. One of the sectors where …

This paper describes a simple and inexpensive procedure to produce thin-films of poly
(dimethylsiloxane). Such films were characterized by a variety of techniques (ellipsometry …

Ag-incorporated diamond-like carbon (DLC) films were prepared on Si substrate using a
hybrid deposition system composed of an end-Hall-type hydrocarbon ion gun and a silver …

Covering the key theories, tools, and techniques of this dynamic field, Handbook of
Nanophysics: Principles and Methods elucidates the general theoretical principles and …

In the present study effects of working pressure on the optical, structural and bonding
properties of diamond-like amorphous carbon (DLC) thin films prepared by direct current …

Nanotechnology is a field of applied science focused on the design, synthesis,
