Diamond like carbon (DLC) films with different C-C sp2/sp3 ratios were prepared by tuning the N2 flow rate in a filtered cathodic vacuum arc (FCVA) system. The increase of N2 flow rate facilitated the increase of C-C sp2/sp3 ratio (1.09-2.66), the growth of particle size (0.78-1.58 nm) and the improvement of surface roughness. The SBF immersion results, as well as WCAs (77.57°~71.71°), hemolysis rate (0.14-1.00%) and cytotoxicity level (0) demonstrated that the as-fabricated DLC film was promising for biomedical application. As a result of surface charge effect, the apatite layers formed in the SBF increased with the increase of C-C sp2/sp3 ratio until 1.74 and then showed a tiny decrease during 1.74-2.66. A raise of hemolysis and cytotoxicity was observed when sp2/sp3 ratio was increased. Moreover, a decrease of friction coefficient of Si surface induced by increasing sp2/sp3 ratio was respectively evidenced in ambient air and SBF lubrication environments.
通过在过滤阴极真空电弧(FCVA)系统中调节氮气流量,制备了具有不同C-C sp2/sp3比率的类金刚石碳(DLC)薄膜。氮气流量的增加促进了C-C sp2/sp3比率的增加(从1.09到2.66)、粒径的增大(从0.78纳米到1.58纳米)以及表面粗糙度的改善。模拟体液(SBF)浸泡结果以及水接触角(77.57°至71.71°)、溶血率(0.14%至1.00%)和细胞毒性水平(0)表明,所制备的DLC薄膜在生物医学应用方面具有潜力。由于表面电荷效应,在SBF中形成的磷灰石层随着C-C sp2/sp3比率的增加而增加,直至1.74,然后在1.74至2.66之间略有下降。当sp2/sp3比率增加时,观察到溶血和细胞毒性增加。此外,在环境空气和SBF润滑环境中,分别证明了sp2/sp3比率的增加会导致硅表面摩擦系数降低。
