With increasing numbers of orthopaedic devices being implanted, greater emphasis is being placed on ceramic coating technology to reduce friction and wear in mating total joint replacement components, in order to improve implant function and increase device lifespan. In this chapter, we consider ultra-hard carbon coatings, with emphasis on nanostructured diamond, as alternative bearing surfaces for metallic components. Such coatings have great potential for use in biomedical implants as a result of their extreme hardness, wear resistance, low friction and biocompatibility. These ultra-hard carbon coatings can be deposited by several techniques resulting in a wide variety of structures and properties.
随着越来越多的骨科植入器械被使用,人们越来越重视陶瓷涂层技术,以减少全关节置换配对部件间的摩擦和磨损,从而改善植入物功能并延长器械使用寿命。在本章中,我们将探讨超硬碳涂层,重点是纳米结构金刚石涂层,作为金属部件的替代轴承表面。由于其极高的硬度、耐磨性、低摩擦性和生物相容性,这类涂层在生物医学植入物领域具有巨大的应用潜力。这些超硬碳涂层可通过多种技术沉积而成,从而产生多种多样的结构和性能。
