Abstract
AbstractThe method and mechanisms to convert methane in gas phase into nanofilm of amorphous carbon; a unique method described as “magneto‐luminous polymerization, and characteristic features of such films, with particular emphasis on biocompatibility imparting onto conventional materials, are described. The first key issue is the dissociation of methane in a mode of electrical discharge under the influence of magnetic field to create “magneto‐luminous” gas phase in which the deposition of amorphous carbon nanofilm occurs. The amorphous carbon nanofilms (10–30 nm) have unique feature that the carbon film has no chemical functional group, which could cause various forms of interfacial interactions with surrounding medium, particularly with biological systems. Such a nanofilm could provide a great potential of imparting biocompatibility to various (metallic, ceramic, and polymeric) functional implants. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2012
