Diamond thin films for bio-implants

What is it about?

Artificial diamond thin films, which can be produced in the laboratory relatively inexpensive, have proven to be a remarkably biocompatible surface, integrating well in many tissues. We review here a large body of work, stretching nearly half a century, where diamond films have been used in various bio-medical applications.
