Research Summary

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) is a type of thin film coating that exhibits properties resembling those of natural diamond, despite being composed primarily of carbon atoms arranged in amorphous or disordered structures. DLC coatings are characterized by high hardness, excellent wear resistance, low friction, and chemical inertness. They are often applied to various surfaces, such as metal, ceramics, and polymers, to enhance their performance and durability. DLC coatings find applications in industries like automotive, electronics, aerospace, and medical devices, where they can reduce friction, improve fuel efficiency, protect against wear and corrosion, and provide biocompatible surfaces. The unique combination of properties offered by DLC coatings makes them valuable for extending the lifespan and performance of diverse materials and components.
