Ultrananocrystalline Diamond Coatings for Next-Generation High-Tech and Medical Devices

This book is a comprehensive guide to ultrananocrystalline-diamond (UNCD) thin film technology, covering the synthesis and material properties of UNCD coatings, multifunctional oxide and nitride thin films, and nanoparticles. It explains how these technologies can be integrated into the development of implantable and external medical devices and treatments for human biological conditions.

Edited and co-authored by a co-originator and pioneer in the field, the book brings together contributions from experts worldwide. It covers clinical applications including ocular implants, glaucoma treatment devices, implantable prostheses, scaffolds for stem cell growth and differentiation, Li-ion batteries for defibrillators and pacemakers, and drug delivery and sensor devices.

Technology transfer and regulatory issues are also covered, making this essential reading for researchers, engineers, and practitioners in high-tech and medical device technologies across materials science and biomedical engineering. This first edition was published in 2022 and is provided as a publisher PDF in English.
