Abstract
The water repellency was dramatically improved on the F-DLC-coated dual rough surface compared with that on DLC-coated Si or F-DLC-coated Si, which had a water contact angle of 130.6°. There was no significant difference in the values for the platelet-covered area between DLC-coated Si and the F-DLC-coated dual rough surface. As DLC is being considered for widespread clinical use as a surface coating for medical devices owing to its non-thrombogenicity compared with other biomaterials, the F-DLC-coated dual rough surface presented in this study still has the potential for clinical use, such as temporary blood-contacting medical devices, to take advantage of its high hydrophobicity.
