Carbon and Diamond

A galvanic-chemical method for preparing diamond containing coatings

“…Therefore, a gap between metallic matrix and the diamond particles should not be present. The small number of particles, which were not covered by layer of copper phosphide (as discussed above) would also be embedded in metal [13].…”

“…We obtained a copper-diamond coating of overall thickness equal to 10 m in which the content of the diamond was 27% (w/w) or 47% (v/v); this is significantly higher amount of diamonds in coating compared to existing methods where diamond content in the coating does not exceed 1-2% [13]. Another virtue of the process presented here is that, unlike gas-thermal and gas-flame techniques, it does not require high temperatures (on the order 700-1000 • C) and special expensive equipment.…”

“…In such process the non-metallic G Model COLSUA-19426 phase (diamond), in the form of dispersed particles, is distributed in an electrolyte solution, and, when it reaches the surface of the cathode, it undergoes metallisation. In this way, diamonds containing copper, nickel and chrome have been produced [10][11][12][13].…”

Effects of nanotopography on the in vitro hemocompatibility of nanocrystalline diamond coatings

“…Since thrombosis is initiated at the blood–material interface, surface engineering methods are promising techniques for improving device blood compatibility and reducing device‐related thrombosis. Carbon‐based materials such as pyrolytic carbon, diamond‐like carbon, graphene, graphite, and nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) have been investigated as coatings to enhance blood–material interactions in cardiovascular devices . NCD coatings are of particular interest for blood‐contacting devices due to their high corrosion resistance, mechanical robustness, high wear resistance, good substrate adhesion, and excellent biocompatibility .…”
