Fabrication of novel graphene-fullerene hybrid lubricating films based on self-assembly for MEMS applications

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Jan 14;50(4):469-71. doi: 10.1039/c3cc47486k.

Abstract

The novel graphene-C60 hybrid films have been fabricated successfully on silicon surfaces by a multistep self-assembly process, and showed synergistic effects beyond individual performance in micro/nano-tribological behaviors. It is expected that the graphene-C60 hybrid films may find wide applications as high performance lubricating films in MEMS.
