Tribological Properties of Ti-DLC Films on Various PolymersOur study is to search for tribological properties of diamond-like carbon (DLC) film known as anti-wear hard thin film on various polymers. This report discusses the deposition of DLC films on various polymer substrates in vacuum by magnetron radio frequency (RF) sputtering method with using argon plasma and graphite, titanium target. The properties of friction and wear were measured using a ball-on-disk wear -testing machine. The properties of friction and wear were remarkably improved by DLC coating. Furthermore, the composition of DLC film was been analyzed by using auger electron spectroscopy (AES). The wear rate of titanium- containing DLC film was lower than that of no-metal-containing DLC film.
