Several advantages make DLC an attractive material for various applications:
High Hardness: DLC films are extremely hard, often approaching the hardness of natural diamond. Low Friction: The low friction coefficient of DLC reduces wear and tear in mechanical systems. Chemical Inertness: DLC is resistant to chemical reactions, making it suitable for harsh environments. Biocompatibility: DLC's compatibility with biological tissues makes it suitable for medical applications. Optical Transparency: DLC's transparency in the visible spectrum makes it useful for optical applications.
