Figure 6

Outline of a reinforced fibre composed of C 60 molecules. Originally, the fibre composed of C60 molecules was self-assembled in supercritical carbon dioxide (36.0°C). C60 molecules were so weakly bonded to each other that the fibre was broken by electron beams. The fibre was then placed in another chamber filled with air at 1 atm, which was irradiated with UV photons. C60 molecules located at the surface of the fibre were oxidised. The fibre was not broken any more by electron beams.
