Ultrananocrystalline diamond/amorphous carbon nanocomposite films have been deposited by MWCVD from CH4/N2 mixtures and investigated in view of their suitability for applications in modern (nano)biotechnology, e.g. as coatings for implants but also as templates for the immobilization of biomolecules e.g. for biosensors or DNA chips. First, some surface properties which are important for such applications, e.g. the roughness and the conductivity, have been established. The main emphasis, however, was laid on the development of different methods to modify the chemical nature of UNCD surfaces, and to characterize them thoroughly by a variety of techniques. Finally, the paper describes experiments to determine the biocompatibility and the bioinertness of UNCD/a-C surfaces, their affinity to unspecific interactions with biomolecules, and to develop routes for the controlled immobilization of biomolecules.
