2. Diamond-like carbon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond-like_carbon

   As implied by the name, diamond-like carbon (DLC), the value of such coatings accrues from their ability to provide some of the properties of diamond to surfaces of almost any material. The primary desirable qualities are hardness, wear resistance, and slickness (DLC film friction coefficient against polished steel ranges from 0.05 to 0.20 [10]).

3. Non-stick surface - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-stick_surface

   Cast iron, carbon steel, [1] stainless steel [2] and cast aluminium cookware [citation needed] may be seasoned before cooking by applying a fat to the surface and heating it to polymerize it. This produces a dry, hard, smooth, hydrophobic coating, which is non-stick when food is cooked with a small amount of cooking oil or fat.

4. Surface chemistry of cooking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_chemistry_of_cooking

   While it is protective, the oxide layer is not very conductive, which makes cooking food less efficient than it could be. For most cooking applications, high thermal conductivity is desirable to create an evenly heated surface on which to cook. In this way, stainless steel is usually not considered high-grade cookware.

5. Seasoning (cookware) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasoning_(cookware)

   An advantage of seasoning is that it helps prevent food sticking. Some cast-iron and carbon steel cookware is pre-seasoned by manufacturers to protect the pan from oxidation (rust), but will need to be further seasoned by the end-users for the cookware to become ready for best nonstick cooking results.

6. Food contact materials - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_contact_materials

   Food contact material pictogram (left) on a plastic food container in Hong Kong. Food contact materials or food contacting substances (FCS) [1] [2] are materials that are intended to be in contact with food. These can be things that are quite obvious like a glass or a can for soft drinks as well as machinery in a food factory or a coffee machine.

8. Amorphous carbon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amorphous_carbon

   In mineralogy, amorphous carbon is the name used for coal, carbide-derived carbon, and other impure forms of carbon that are neither graphite nor diamond. In a crystallographic sense, however, the materials are not truly amorphous but rather polycrystalline materials of graphite or diamond [2] within an amorphous carbon matrix. Commercial ...
