The risk-benefit balance for carbon nanotubes (CNTs) dictates their clinical fate. To take a step forward at this crossroad it is compulsory to modulate the CNT in vivo biocompatibility and biodegradability via e.g. chemical functionalization. CNT membranes were functionalised combining a Diels–Alder cycloaddition reaction to generate cyclohexene (–C6H10) followed by a mild oxidisation to yield carboxylic acid ...

A hip joint wear simulator is used for the first time to evaluate the performance of acetabular liners and femoral heads made of silicon nitride ceramic coated with nanocrystalline diamond (NCD), grown by a hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) method. Wear is assessed by gravimetry, by which volume and linear wear are estimated. Even with only one million cycles of test, a very stimulating finding is ...
The superior biotribological performance of nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) coatings grown by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method was already shown to demonstrate high wear resistance in ball on plate experiments under physiological liquid lubrication. However, tests with a close-to-real approach were missing and this constitutes the aim of the present work. Hip joint wear simulator tests were performed with...
The tribological response of multilayer micro/nanocrystalline diamond coatings grown by the hot filament CVD technique is investigated. These multigrade systems were tailored to comprise a starting microcrystalline diamond (MCD) layer with high adhesion to a silicon nitride (Si3N4) ceramic substrate, and a top nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) layer with reduced surface roughness. Tribological tests were carried ou...
