Tribological Characteristics of a-C:H:Si and a-C:H:SiO<sub>x</sub> Coatings Tested in Simulated Body Fluid and Protein Environment

Tribological Characteristics of a-C:H:Si and a-C:H:SiO<sub>x</sub> Coatings Tested in Simulated Body Fluid and Protein Environment

This paper presents the tribological properties of silicon and oxygen incorporated diamond-like carbon coatings tested in simulated body fluid and bovine serum albumin environments. The tests were performed using a ball-on-disc tribometer with an AISI316L steel counterbody. The wear tracks and wear...
