Wear Mechanism of Superhard Tetrahedral Amorphous Carbon (ta‐C) Coatings for Biomedical Applications
Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 10, Issue 7, March 6, 2023., 2023 Tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta‐C) coatings have the potential to protect load‐bearing biomedical implants from wear and thus increase their service life. This study, therefore, elucidates the biocompatibility, mechanical properties, adhesion, and wear mechanisms of ta‐C coatings fabricated by physical vapor deposition on cobalt‐chromium‐molybdenum ...

Surface Characterization of Stainless Steel 316L Coated with Various Nanoparticle Types
International Journal of Biomaterials, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Background. Material tribology has widely expanded in scope and depth and is extended from the mechanical field to the biomedical field. The present study aimed to characterize the nanocoating of highly pure (99.9%) niobium (Nb), tantalum (Ta), and vanadium (V) deposited on 316L stainless steel (SS) substrates which considered the most widely used ...
