Modification of rubber surface with hydrogenated diamond-like carbon thin films

Pei Y.T., Bui X.L., De Hosson J.Th.M., University of Groningen, NL

Thin films of hydrogenated diamond-like carbon (DLC) have been deposited on hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber (HNBR) for reduction of friction and enhancement of wear resistance of dynamic rubber seals, by sputtering graphite targets in C2H2/Ar [...]
