Abstract
Thermally-assisted grafting of linear alkene molecules either in the liquid phase (ethyl undecylenate) or in the gas phase (perfluorodecene), has been performed on atomically flat amorphous carbon (a-C) films with variable average surface hybridization, sp3/(sp2 + sp3), as obtained from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. In contrast with the sp2-rich sputtered a-C, optimized sp3-rich a-C films obtained by Pulsed Laser ablation of a glassy carbon target do not require surface preparation before liquid phase grafting.
