Laser Structuring and DLC Coating of Elastomers for High Performance Applications

Laser Structuring and DLC Coating of Elastomers for High Performance Applications

Even though hard, low friction coatings such as diamond like carbon (DLC) would be beneficial for the performance and longevity of rubber seals, a crucial challenge remains. The elastic mismatch of rubber substrate and DLC coating prevents a fracture free coating application. In this work, a nature...
