Verschleissfeste Antihaftschichten auf Basis modifizierter diamantähnlicher Kohlenstoffschichten

In this article technological developments in the field of modified diamond-like-carbon (DLC) coatings are described. The most well-known properties of such DLC-coatings are high hardness, high wear resistanc, a very low friction coefficient (e. g. vs. Steel) and a very good chemical inertness. By doping the amorphous network with non-metallic elements it is possible to influence the wettability of the DLC coatings over a wide range. This possibility to prepare a wear resistant sticking or non-sticking DLC-film opens a wide field of very different technical applications.
