Claims9
A method of treating a surface of a mold prior to molding operations, comprising:
- supplying a fullerene into an amorphous carbon layer that covers the surface of the mold;
- and
- covering a surface of the amorphous carbon layer with a covering member while heating the amorphous carbon layer to at least 400° C. the covering member being in direct contact with the surface of the amorphous carbon layer during heating, so as to cause the fullerene to convert into an amorphous state and the amorphous carbon layer to densify.
