Hybrids of graphene with C60 and SWNTs prepared at the interface are of interest because of their possible superior and synergistic properties. Hybrid films of graphene-C60 and graphene-SWNT hybrids have been prepared using liquid-liquid interface. The hybrid film mainly consists of C60 films and flower-like structures. Since C60 is on the surface of graphene, it is difficult to differentiate the two carbons from... 

The Langmuir-Blodgett method has been used to prepare hybrid films of an anionic Ru(ll) cyanide polypyridyl complex with LDHs [170]. An LDH film was formed on mica owing to the interaction between LDHs particles and the Ru(ll) cyanide polypyridyl complex that was pre-dispersed on the surface of mica. Water-in-oU emulsions composed of octane, water and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) have been used to synthesize Mg/Al LDHs with carbonate as the interlayer anion [171] by constant pH or variable pH methods. A floccule or fiber-like LDH material that possesses similar chemical composition and properties to that synthesized using a conventional variable pH method was obtained. The resulting LDH shows high surface area and a narrow distribution of mesopores. 

In Figure 10.1.17, the Cls XPS spectrum of the carbon-deposited film fluorinated at 175°C is compared with that of the corresponding fluorinated tubes after the HF washing. The former spectrum and the latter one give information on the external flat surface of the fluorinated film and the outer surface of the fluorinated tube, respectively. In spectrum (a), the most intense component is the peak assigned to covalent CF bond. On the other hand, spectrum (b) exhibits a clear peak at 284.4 eV, which corresponds to the sp2 carbon of the nanotube. These findings indicate selective fluorination of carbon tubes the covalent CF bonds were formed almost exclusively on the inner surfaces of nanotubes, but the outer surfaces retained their sp2 hybridization.

The oriented linear sp -hybridized carbon chain film with the thickness of 4nm was deposited epitaxially on the surface of a single mica crystal (a = 0.515nm) the film was studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Figure 11.13(a) shows the AFM image of the film surface in the height mode.

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films are hard, amorphous films with a significant fraction of sp -hybridized carbon atoms and which can contain a significant amount of hydrogen. Depending on the deposition conditions, these films can be fully amorphous or contain diamond crystallites. These materials are not called diamond unless a full three-dimensional crystalline lattice of diamond is proven.
