    Abstract

    In this study, we present the preparation and characterization of oxidized fullerene and fullerene dimer [<TEX>$C_{120}$</TEX>]. From the XRD data, other weak peaks with pristine fullerene [<TEX>$C_{60}$</TEX>] peaks were observed in the X-ray diffraction patterns for fullerene dimer [<TEX>$C_{120}$</TEX>]. SEM micrographs for the fullerene dimer [<TEX>$C_{120}$</TEX>] indicated that practically all the surface state was shown the drastic morphology changes and its outer surface is clearly visible and resulted in clogging and frost-like formation. From the MALDI-TOF mass spectra, the differences in the spectra recorded on two kinds of fullerene are due to the oxidation including chemical bonding and bridging between the <TEX>$C_{60}$</TEX> molecules. We also obtained additional information from FT-IR spectra on functional component on the chemically modified surface of oxidized fullerene and fullerene dimer [<TEX>$C_{120}$</TEX>].
