Medical Application of Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) Coating-A Review

Abstract

1. Abstract An artificial heart is a specific intervention that can be used to treat various heart diseases. Silicon oil is used as a pillar for the artificial heart. However, certain problems may arise as silicon oil ions diffuse with the blood through ion penetration. To solve this issue, it is recommended to use a coat pillar that is made from material that is highly biocompatible, exhibits low rates of penetration, and is stable, reliable, and durable. Many materials can be used for coat pillars, with research suggesting that the ideal coating material is diamond-like carbon. This coating is recommended because of its attractive physical, chemical, mechanical, and biocompatibility properties. DLC is a component of amorphous carbon material that contains some of the same properties of diamond. Moreover, because of its properties and benefits, we find that it can be used to coat many other materials.
