Abstract | Summary form only given. Amorphous carbon or diamond-like carbon (DLC) films have attracted much attention recently due to their good biocompatibility and have been proposed for use in blood contacting medical devices. The behavior of cultured cells is a good indicator of the surface biocompatibility and biological responses. In this study, amorphous hydrogenated carbon films were produced and a series of micropatterning experiments were conducted on the surface of the DLC using sputtering and deposition by plasma immersion ion implantation and deposition with a mixture of argon and acetylene. The behavior of the endothelial cells was investigated. The micropatterning experiments were carried out using meshes of 100 mum, 54 mum, 26 mum, and 12 mum. A set of DLC films was sputter deposited using a radio frequency (RF) power of 500 W and a substrate DC bias voltage of -500 V. Another set of DLC films was deposited by plasma immersion ion implantation and deposition also with the meshes. The two DLC film properties were evaluated by Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The surface topography was analyzed by surface profilometry and scanning electron microscopy. Human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) were seeded and cultured on the micropatterned surfaces for up to 7 days. The endothelial cell behavior was examined using optical microscopy and SEM after the cells were fixed and dehydrated. Our results reveal that surface micropatterning can help endothelialization and promote more extensive endothelialization compared to our control samples in the in vitro model |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
