Adsorption of bovine serum albumin on Zr co-sputtered a-C(:H) films: implication on wear behaviour

The use of protective coatings in biomedical field is an ongoing scientific challenge. Among different materials, carbon-based coatings are considered a potential surface treatment for orthopaedic implants. In this study, the effect of Zr incorporation in amorphous carbon coatings on the wear behavi...
