Biotribological investigation of amorphous carbon coatings in hard-on-soft contact for biomedical applications
Objectives: Amorphous carbon (DLC) coatings deposited on the articulating surfaces of total joint replacements (TJRs) have the potential to enhance the biotribological behavior and longevity [ref:1]. Therefore, we employ an ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (PE) ball-on-three titanium [for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
