Abstract
This chapter focuses on the development of alloyed diamondlike coatings, in particular a new class of fullerene-like (FL) materials. We describe unique resilient FL compounds by self-organization of nano-curved sp2-hybridized carbon features, with tuned mechanical and surface energy properties. These unique resilient materials consist of bent and intersecting hexagonal basal planes, fabricated by the incorporation of odd-member rings. Cross-linking enables the material to extend the strength of the covalently 2D hexagonal graphene network into 3D. The microstructural properties of three types of coatings, which have the possibility to be applied on a large scale, are described: carbon nitride, phosphorous carbide, and carbon fluoride.
