We had published the paper regarding DLC-MPC hybrid strategy, which was one of the purpose in this grant (2022, Journal of Photopolymer Science and Technology, in press). The main result of this paper is developing new coating technology, which includes successful attachment the MPC polymer brash followed by DLC pre-coating on the material. This achievement enables us to develop the MPC polymer coating for some materials which could not be applied for MPC one due to its unfavorable characteristics. In other words, we got a new technology to apply the MPC to the various materials by DLC-MPC hybrid strategy. In terms of future perspectives, we have two issues at the time. One is whether this technology leads to improved stability of the MPC coating (anti-removal coating effect), the other is application for inner surface of the small lumen structure such as artificial vascular graft, and catheter.
