What are two examples of carbon films?

Carbon film resistors: These are a type of resistor where a thin film of carbon is deposited onto a ceramic rod or substrate to control the flow of electric current. Carbon film coatings: Carbon films can also be used as protective coatings in applications such as anti-reflective coatings on camera lenses or as a barrier against corrosion on metal surfaces.
