example

[0072] Hereinafter, the present invention is described in more detail along with an example but is not limited to this example in any respect.

[0073]—Coating with DLC Film—

[0074] Coating of a DLC film over the base material is first described. In this example, an aluminum alloy (equivalent to JIS-8021 alloy) having a length of 50 mm, a width of 5 mm, and a thickness of 55 μm and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) were used for the base material.

[0075]FIG. 1 is a schematic view of an ionic vapor deposition apparatus used in this example. The ionic vapor deposition apparatus is a commonly-employed ionic vapor deposition apparatus wherein benzene (C6H6) gas is introduced as a carbon source into a DC arc discharge plasma generator 2 provided inside a vacuum chamber to generate plasma, and the generated plasma is collided with a substrate 1 biased to a negative voltage, which is a subject of the coating, whereby the plasma is solidified over the substrate 1 to form a film.

Abstract

A diamond-like carbon film (DLC film) is formed on the surface of a base material made of an inorganic material, such as ceramics, or the like, or an organic material, such as resin, or the like. The surface of the resultant DLC film is treated with plasma, or the like, so as to be activated. Various monomers having biocompatibility, etc., are graft-polymerized to the activated surface of the DLC film, whereby a polymer layer is formed from the monomers grafted to the surface of the DLC film. Thus, the base material coated with the DLC film modified with a polymer which does not readily separate can be realized.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a method for treating the surface of a material with a diamond-like carbon film formed thereon, a surface-treated material, a medical material having excellent biocompatibility, and a medical instrument. BACKGROUND ART [0002] The diamond-like carbon film (DLC film) has a hard, fine and inert surface. Therefore, when formed on the surface of a material, for example, an inorganic material, such as a metal, ceramic, etc., or an organic material, such as a resin, etc., the DLC film can give the surface of the material certain characteristics, such as abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance, surface smoothness, etc. [0003] For example, it has been known that coating the surface of a mold or tool with a DLC film improves the durability and releasability. Further, the coating creates a very smooth and inert surface and therefore has been a promising surface treatment for materials of medical instruments which should not cause intera...
