Tailoring the performance of DLC coatings through interlayer engineering

Abstract Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings have been widely studied for their exceptional hardness, low friction, and excellent wear and corrosion resistance, making them highly attractive for biomedical and industrial applications. However, their practical implementation is often hindered by inter...
