Book Synthesis and Characterization of Diamond like Carbon Thin Films for Biomedical Applications

Download or read book Synthesis and Characterization of Diamond like Carbon Thin Films for Biomedical Applications written by Russell Lee Leonard and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diamond-like carbon (DLC) thin films were produced by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on silicon, fused silica, and silicon nitride substrates. The films produced were either undoped, made using a pure graphite target, or doped, using multi-component targets made from a combination of graphite and silicon, silicon nitride, titanium dioxide, or silicon monoxide. These films were evaluated for their potential use in biomedical applications, including coatings for artificial joints, heart stents, and bronchoscopes. The films were characterized by Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, ball-on-flat tribometry, contact angle measurements, and spectrophotometry. Film thickness was determined by optical profilometry. Film adhesion was checked by soaking the films in simulated body fluid (SBF) and monitoring the quality of the film surface at varying time intervals using an optical microscope. DLC coatings were produced with a root mean square surface roughness of less than 1 nm and a 0.08 lubricated coefficient of friction. Contact angles of water on the undoped films varied with deposition conditions, ranging from 65 to 88 degrees. Contact angles as low as 25 degrees were achieved by incorporating silicon monoxide dopant. DLC coatings were produced on fused silica having high transparency and showing no delamination after forty-three weeks of immersion in SBF. These results indicate that these films have potential as biomedical coatings.

Book Synthesis of Silver diamond Like Carbon Thin Films by Magnetron Sputtering

Download or read book Synthesis of Silver diamond Like Carbon Thin Films by Magnetron Sputtering written by Venkatesh Majji and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diamond-like carbon thin films are been used in wide range of applications due to their attractive tribological properties. Metal-doped DLC films have significant properties which make them compatible to use in larger variety of applications. The present study examines the dispersion and their effect on various tribological properties when Ag is incorporated into the DLC thin films. These Ag-DLC nanocomposite films were synthesized by a hybrid CVD and magnetron sputtering process in a discharge composed of CH4, and Ar atmosphere. These DLC and Ag-DLC films were characterized by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman Spectroscopy. Tribological tests were carried out to measure the frictional and wear behavior of the Ag-DLC films as a function of Ag content. The TEM cross sectional studies revealed that Ag is present as Ag nanoparticles that were distributed uniformly throughout an amorphous DLC matrix. XPS analysis confirmed that Ag in the nanoparticles was present in the metallic form. Increasing the Ag content in the film, reduced its sp3 content. The incorporation of these nanoparticles causes a reduction in hardness in Ag-DLC when compared with pure DLC films. Microhardness of DLC films exhibits values up to a maximum of 16 GPa and gradually decreases with increasing in Ag content. FTIR and Raman studies confirmed that the films contain a significant amount of hydrogen, and with an increase in the Ag content in the DLC film results in an increase in sp2 carbon content. Finally, the friction behavior of the Ag-DLC films showed a comparable performance with that of DLC films with a coefficient of friction as low as 0.1. The DLC films exhibited a lower wear rate of 5.51x10−8 mm3/Nm than Ag-DLC films. The wear rate in the Ag-DLC films gradually increased with increasing Ag content but it remained at low levels (i.e., up to 1.7x10−7 mm3/Nm). This is consistent with the higher sp2 content of the Ag-DLC films.
