C_60 nanowhiskers fabricated by liquid-liquid interfacial precipitation method and pristine C_60 powder were sintered at 800 °C under 5.5 GPa for 2 h. The specimens showed high micro-Vickers hardness about 1100 kg/mm^2 and electrical resistivity as low as several Ωm. Structural characterization by x-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared, and Raman spectroscopy revealed that most of C_60 molecules were broken to form turbostratic graphite by high-pressure and high-temperature treatment. Comparison with the pristine C_60 powder sintered under the same conditions suggests that the structural change depends microscopically on the C_60 molecules, but the size and the morphology of the starting material also affect the macroscopic sintering process.
