Surface properties of nano–structural silicon–doped carbon films for biomedical applications
Hydrogenated diamond–like carbon (DLC) containing Si films were synthesised using the radio frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition. The results show that all Si–doped DLC films exhibited a similar amorphous structure as non–doped DLC films. Doping Si caused graphitisation of C and reduced the surface hardness. Moreover, the surface roughness of the films decreased with the Si ...

Effect of heat treatment of nano-hydroxyapatite coatings prepared using electrohydrodynamic deposition
Electrohydrodynamic spraying has recently emerged as a powerful method of producing nano-structured hydroxyapatite (nHA) coatings for biomedical implants. To enhance the mechanical properties of these coatings, a subsequent heat treatment is normally needed. However, whether this process significantly influences the coated surface morphology and cellular responses still needs to be systematically ...
