Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Due to their outstanding properties, carbon-based materials have found many applications in different branches of the industry and continue to attract widespread interest among the scientific community. The variety of structures that can be derived from carbon-based coatings calls for a broader investigation, which will ultimately be a beneficial pursuit, enabling a deeper understanding of the excellent properties of these coatings, including their biocompatibility. This Special Issue aims to bring together investigations on diamond, DLC and ta-C coatings with a focus on understanding their wear and friction mechanisms under different experimental conditions. Dangling bond passivation, graphitization, the formation of the self-generated transfer layer, etc., are the mechanisms under consideration. Experimental investigations, simulations and the modelling (thermodynamic, first principles, etc.) of the physico-chemical properties of diamond, DLC and ta-C coatings, as well as comparative studies involved in these coatings, are welcomed.

The aim of this Special Issue is to present the latest experimental and theoretical developments in the field, through a combination of original research papers and review articles from leading groups around the world. In particular, the topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Diamond and DLC thin films and coatings;
  • The novel synthesis methods of diamond and DLC materials;
  • The modelling and characterization methods of diamond and DLC thin films and coatings;
  • The implementation of diamond and DLC materials in medicine;
  • The applications of diamond and DLC thin films and coatings in the food industry;
  • Surface-activated diamond and DLC thin films and coatings.

The DLC coating of samples produced by additive manufacturing with complex shapes is a challenge but also shows the possibility of obtaining a diffusive barrier for biomedical applications. In this study, stochastic porous structures based on Voronoi tessellation were fabricated using binder jetting technology from 316L SS powder and modified using DLC coating. The DLC coating was deposited using the RF PACVD technology. The chamber pressure was 40 Pa with a methane gas flow rate of 60 sccm. The negative bias voltage was 700 V. The deposition time was 5 min. Dimensional analysis was performed using optical microscopy. Surface morphology and topography were evaluated using SEM and confocal microscopy. Raman spectroscopy was used to examine the chemical structure of DLC coating. Finally, the HR TEM was used to evaluate the physicochemical characterization of the DLC coating. The interconnected complex spatial network of the Voronoi structure was accurately duplicated by the binder jetting technology. The obtained substrates were characterized by high roughness (Ra = 6.43 µm). Moreover, the results indicated that the conditions of the RF PACVD process allow for the deposition of the continuous and tightened DLC coating with a thickness from 30 nm to 230 nm and defined the content of Cr2O3 and SiO2.
