The influence of the DLC and DLC-Si coatings on the changes occurring on the implants surface during the implant-bone contact
Journal Title: Engineering of Biomaterials / Inżynieria Biomateriałów - Year 2016, Vol 19, Issue 137
Abstract
In this study the DLC and Si-incorporated DLC layers were deposited on stainless steel alloy (AISI 316 LVM) using modified radio frequency plasma assisted chemical vapour deposition (RF PACVD) method and examined in terms of chemical, mechanical and tribological properties. The carbon layers were synthesized on two types of samples: flat cylindrical probes and the orthopaedic screws (both were made from AISI 316 LVM). In order to determine the chemical composition, morphology and structure of the manufactured coatings the XPS, AFM, SEM observation and EDS analysis were performed. Mechanical properties were measured using nanoindentation technique, as well as the tribological properties were performed using ball-on-disc tests. The obtained results were correlated with the biological response of the coatings. The influence of changes of the modified implants surface was evaluated using screwing/unscrewing test. The samples after conducted tests were controlled using microscopic observation (SEM) and qualitative analysis of the chemical composition on the surface of the screws (EDS). Results demonstrate that on the surface of the DLC and DLC-Si coatings the tribofilm made from mineral bone compounds was created.
