We show that thin films of C60 with a thickness ranging from 10 to 100 nm can promote adhesion between a Au thin film deposited on mica and a solution-deposited layer of the elastomer polymethyldisolaxane (PDMS). This molecular adhesion facilitates t... Read More about Fullerenes as adhesive layers for mechanical peeling of metallic, molecular and polymer thin films.
