Abstract

Despite the advantages of diamond-like carbon films that are used as wear-resistant coatings for implants, they may have a number of disadvantages such as the high level of internal tension, low adhesive durability and high sensitivity to environment conditions. These problems can be overcome by application of the new carbon nanocomposite coatings that can be deposited from C60 ionic beam. It was found that the proposed diamond-like nanocomposite coatings increase implant material resistance to electrochemical corrosion processes due to shift of its electrode potential to area of positive values, and also promote a complex of reparative and adaptation and compensatory reorganizations that will allow to accelerate processes of healing and postoperative adaptation of organism in zone of implant inputting.
