Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Engineering
  • Nanotechnology
  • Medical Device Coatings

Background:

  • Ventricular assist devices (VADs) require highly biocompatible, low-wear, and antithrombogenic surfaces.
  • Existing VAD materials face challenges with wear and blood clot formation.
  • Ultrananocrystalline diamond (UNCD) offers potential for superior surface properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop medical-grade UNCD films for antithrombogenic applications.
  • To improve understanding of defect mechanisms in UNCD films for VADs.
  • To characterize and test UNCD-coated VADs for performance and safety.

Main Methods:

  • Development and optimization of UNCD deposition techniques for silicon carbide and titanium alloy substrates.
  • Defect reduction and seeding experiments to enhance film adhesion and quality.
  • Comprehensive characterization and mechanical/hydrodynamic testing of UNCD-coated VAD components.

Main Results:

  • Successful development of extremely smooth, low-cost UNCD coatings.
  • Identification and reduction of wear-inducing imperfections in UNCD films.
  • Verification of UNCD-coated VAD performance through mechanical and blood-simulating fluid testing.

Conclusions:

  • UNCD coatings provide excellent antithrombogenicity and durability for VAD applications.
  • The developed UNCD technology significantly improves VAD biocompatibility and performance.
  • UNCD integration offers a promising advancement in cardiovascular implant technology.
