“…DLC film comprises a mixture of sp 2 and sp 3 carbon bonds and is deposited by using high energy carbon species. DLC films are produced by a number of techniques like ion beam deposition, 7 radio frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (r.f.-PECVD), 8 filtered cathodic vacuum arc (FCVA), 9 ion plating, 10 plasma immersion ion implantation and deposition (PIIID), 11 magnetron sputtering, 12 ion beam sputtering, 13 pulsed laser deposition, 14 and mass selected ion beam deposition. 15 The hydrogen content in DLC films varies up to 40%.…”

Owing to its superior tribological and mechanical properties with corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, and hemocompatibility, diamond-like carbon (DLC) has emerged as a promising material for biomedical applications. DLC films with various atomic bond structures and compositions are finding places in orthopedic, cardiovascular, and dental applications. Cells grew on to DLC coating without any cytotoxity and inflammation. DLC coatings in orthopedic applications reduced wear, corrosion, and debris formation. DLC coating also reduced thrombogenicity by minimizing the platelet adhesion and activation. However, some contradictory results (Airoldi et al., Am J Cardiol 2004;93:474-477, Taeger et al., Mat-wiss u Werkstofftech 2003;34:1094-1100) were also reported that no significant improvement was observed in the performance of DLC-coated stainless stent or DLC-coated femoral head. This controversy should be discussed based on the detailed information of the coating such as atomic bond structure, composition, and/or electronic structure. In addition, instability of the DLC coating caused by its high level of residual stress and poor adhesion in aqueous environment should be carefully considered. Further in vitro and in vivo studies are thus required to confirm its use for medical devices. '

“…All these merits render it a good biomaterial for application in orthopedic, cardiovascular, contact lenses, or dentistry. Many surface modification techniques have been applied to produce DLC films with a variety of carbonaceous precursor materials, including ion beam deposition [ 91 ], plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition (PACVD) [ 92 ], filtered cathodic vacuum arc (FCVA) [ 93 ], ion plating [ 94 ], plasma immersion ion implantation and deposition (PIIID) [ 95 ], magnetron sputtering [ 96 ], ion beam sputtering [ 97 ], pulsed laser deposition [ 98 ] and mass selected ion beam deposition [ 99 , 100 ]. Some excellent reviews on DLC films have been published in the past several decades [ 101 , 102 , 103 , 104 , 105 , 106 ].…”

Metallic biomaterials like stainless steel, Co-based alloy, Ti and its alloys are widely used as artificial hip joints, bone plates and dental implants due to their excellent mechanical properties and endurance. However, there are some surface-originated problems associated with the metallic implants: corrosion and wear in biological environments resulting in ions release and formation of wear debris; poor implant fixation resulting from lack of osteoconductivity and osteoinductivity; implant-associated infections due to the bacterial adhesion and colonization at the implantation site. For overcoming these surface-originated problems, a variety of surface modification techniques have been used on metallic implants, including chemical treatments, physical methods and biological methods. This review surveys coatings that serve to provide properties of anti-corrosion and anti-wear, biocompatibility and bioactivity, and antibacterial activity.
