Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings occupy a distinctive position in modern surface engineering. By combining extreme hardness, low friction, high wear ...

Beverage bottle blowmold cavities (above) and bottle preform mold components (below) can benefit from diamond-like carbon materials applied in the chamber shown in the top photo. Pins are among the ...

Illustration of the laser-induced transformation of diamond into planar-oriented graphite, with interfacial thermal stress control, followed by mechanical cleavage into graphene, ultimately achieving ...

In industrial pipes, mineral deposits build up the way limescale collects inside a kettle ⎯ only on a far larger and more expensive scale. Mineral scaling is a major issue in water and energy systems, ...
