Abstract

Diamond-like carbon coating is an inert, impervious hydrocarbon coating with properties suitable for use in the biomedical field, particularly in orthopaedic implants. Mouse peritoneal macrophages and mouse fibroblasts were grown on tissue culture plates treated with diamond-like carbon and the biocompatibility assessed both biochemically and morphologically. This investigation showed that diamond-like carbon coating caused no adverse effects on cells in culture and therefore merits further investigation as a coating for biomedical use.
