Abstract

Great efforts are made to reduce the aseptic loosening of total knee replacements, for example by biotribologically effective surface modifications in order to decrease the wear of polymer inlays. This study focused on the characterization and tribological testing of wear-reducing amorphous carbon coatings with good adhesion to the medical technology materials Co28Cr6Mo and PE-UHMW. Thereby, the present study showed the applicability of coatings to the considered materials and the high potential for wear reduction.
