Abstract: A new biomaterial paradigm for a new generation of implantable medical devices and prostheses, and for scaffold for stem cells growth and differentiation for developmental biology, is provided by a novel multifunctional/biocompatible/body fluid corrosion-resistant ultrananocrystalline diamond (UNCD) film developed and patented in recent years. The UNCD coating provides a unique combination of multi functionalities, including biocompatibility, bioinertnes to chemical attack by body fluids, and surface chemistry based on Carbon (C) atoms (element of life), to enable a new generation of implantable medical devices and prostheses, and scaffolds for tissue engineering, to impact the quality of life of people.
