A synthetic polymeric form of carbon (Tetracarbon™) exhibits some properties similar to biological tissues. Tetracarbon is highly biocompatible and has application in medicine and microelectronics. Tetracarbon is a biocompatible substrate coating made by depositing short linear chains of carbon stores upon the surface of the substrate. The carbon chains are non-turbostratic and oriented perpendicular to the substrate surface are densely packed parallel to one another in hexagonal structures with the distance between the carbon chains being between 4.8-5.03 A. A layer of Tetracarbon is identical to an adjacent layer and randomly shifted laterally relative to each other.
A non-turbostratic, two-dimensionally ordered, densely-packed, linear chain carbon coating for a substrate surface comprising at least one layer of a plurality of linear carbon chains, each said carbon chain having an inner end and an outer end in opposition to said inner end and a carbon chain axis therebetween wherein said carbon chain axis is defined as being a line connecting said inner end and said outer end of each said carbon chain.
