Abstract

Different aspects concerning the use of nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) film, ascoating for biomedical prostheses, is discussed. An overview is done on diamondimplementation in prostheses, on the NCD mechanical properties and on thetechnological aspects concerning the NCD growth process i.e. Microwave PlasmaEnhanced Chemical Vapor deposition. Then, the attention is focused on a possibleimprovement of NCD growth on titanium (Ti) substrate. Further, a theoreticalstudy by finite element method is discussed in order to model the adhesionproperties of a NCD layer on Ti and Ti/Titanium Carbide (TiC) substrates. The goalof the proposed work is to provide a study about the use of thin NCD coating on Tibased prostheses. The function of the NCD coating on Ti material is to improve theimplanted prosthesis with a long duration time, thus decreasing the total costsand the invasive surgery treatments.
