Title: DIAMOND/CARBON NANO-MATERIALS HYBRID FILM AND THE FABRICATION METHOD THEREOF

Abstract:
A diamond/carbon nano-material hybrid film is a novel carbon material in which a diamond film is formed at one surface thereof and carbon nano-material is formed at another surface thereof at the atomic level. In a CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) diamond synthesis process, layered micro particles are used as matrix and a CVI synthesis technique is employed to provide dual gas chemistry conditions in which a diamond phase is stabilized at an upper surface of a matrix particle layer and a graphite phase is stabilized at a lower surface thereof, thereby fabricating the hybrid film. Also, porous sacrificial matrix particles are used as a matrix, non-deposition portions, at which the diamond or carbon nano-material is not deposited, are formed on the particles during the synthesis process, and the matrix is removed by a capillary-enhanced etching. Accordingly, a diamond/carbon nano-material hybrid film in the form of a free-standing film can be fabricated. This hybrid film has a large surface area and characteristics in which the diamond and the graphite are merged with each other (electrical anisotropy). Also, this method is provided for fabricating a carbon nano-material film well-aligned on a silicon or a metallic or ceramic plate, and for mass producing carbon nano-material in the form of a free-standing film.

I doubt this is for TVs - most likely for fuel cells, but who knows! Pavlovsky rules!!!???
