Investigation of structure and properties of linear acetylenic carbon coatings for medical polymeric materials

Abstract

Results of researches of structure and properties of the nanostructured carbon coatings deposited on a polyurethane substrate are presented in article. Possibility of application of the scanning probe micro-scope methods and sclerometer method for quality control of the nanostructured carbon coatings is shown. The results of researches showing that the nanostructured carbon coatings deposited on polyurethane have high degree of adhesion to a substrate, reduce porosity of surface and increase its durability and wear resistance, increase elasticity and coefficient of restitution at deformation are given.
