Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films and coatings are a unique class of amorphous carbon materials that combine properties reminiscent of both diamond and graphite. With a high fraction of sp³-bonded ...

In our work, the surface of poly(4-methyl-1-pentene) hollow fiber membranes (PMP HFMs) was coated with a diamond-like carbon (DLC) film by the ion plating method. The blood compatibility of the DLC ...

According to Liu and Kwek 14, the formation of sp 3 bonds occurs when the DLC film surface receives carbon ions with a higher kinetic energy, which can be achieved by increasing the pulse bias during ...

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) has been a candidate prosthetic coating due to its excellent physical and chemical properties, ... In this paper, we report the fabrication of an adherent DLC coating on ...

Casio G-Shock MRG-B2000RG-3A launches in Europe this July at €3,300 with solar power, Bluetooth, and DLC-coated titanium build.

After testing the coating for 100 hours at 1600 °C, the researchers determined the high oxidation resistance of the coating was due to the hafnium tantalum silicon oxide (Hf-Ta-Si-O) multiphase oxide ...

Razor Blades. The application of thin film coatings such as diamond-like carbon (DLC) on razor blades increases their sharpness and wear resistance, enabling a smoother shave and significantly ...

A new, dual-layer coating that offers 99.6% protection against iron corrosion has been developed by a team of researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. To develop the coating, the team ...
