Characterization and Applications of Diamond-like Nanocomposites: A Brief Review

“…Due to low residual stress DLN coating has excellent adhesion to variety of substrate materials [30,32] .…”

“…Pandit et al 2003 and hardness and modulus were measured by nanoindentation and subsequently interfacial toughness of this hard film brittle substrate system were determined by vicker indentation [32] . C.…”

Deposition and characterization of diamond-like nanocomposite coatings grown by plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition over different substrate materials

“…DLN have been characterized by various researchers (Pollak and Dorfman 1997;Polyakov et al 1997;Venkatraman et al 1997Venkatraman et al , 1999Bozhko et al 1998;Dorfman 1998;Neerinck et al 1998a, b;Kester et al 1999;Platon et al 2001;Hauert and Muller 2003;Pandit and Padture 2003;Scharf and Singer 2003;Yang et al 2003a, b;Narayan 2005;Sheeja et al 2005;Kobayashi et al 2006;Maalouf et al 2006;Bursikova et al 2007;Logothetidis 2007;Scharf et al 2007). They have unique bulk and surface properties including an excellent thermal stability (Yang et al 2003a, b).…”

“…DLN films have been reported to improve the adhesion of these coatings to the substrates (Narayan 2005). It has an excellent adhesion (Pandit and Padture 2003) to a variety of substrate materials due to a low residual stress, Moreover these films have found application as biosensors (Maalouf et al 2006). DLC coatings have been tried as protective wear resistant coating in joint prostheses (Platon et al 2001;Sheeja et al 2005).…”
