<p>A substrate is coated with a hydrophilic layer(s) or coatings(s) that includes, for example, amorphous carbon in a form of diamond like carbon (DLC). In certain embodiments, the DLC inclusive layer may be doped with at least one polar inducing dopant (e.g., Boron, Nitrogen, and or any other suitable polar inducing dopant) in order to make the layer more polar and thus more hydrophilic so as to have a lower contact angle thgr; (e.g., no greater than about 10 degrees in certain embodiments, and more preferably no greater than about 8 degrees).</p> |
