What is the fullerene?

The real name is buckminster fullerene.
Fullerene are the third allotrope form of carbon material after graphite and diomand.
Fullerene are the three-dimensional spherical shape of the graphene layer.
The first fullerene is formed by the condensation of carbon atoms formed by evaporation of graphite by laser. 
The first fullerene molecule was discovered and prepared in 1985 by Richard Smalley, Robert Curl, James Heath, Sean O’Brien, and Harold Kroto at Rice University. The name come from Buckminster Fuller, whose geodesic domes it resembles.

The most stable and common of fullerenes is the C60 molecule. This molecule is a pure carbon molecule consisting of 60 atoms. In the structure of the C60 molecule there are 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons. If the fullerene is so special, it is the superior physical and chemical properties that the stable and solid structure provides.

The hardness of fullerene is harder than diamond. Also, the ductility of fullerene is 100 times stronger than steel. Fullerene has amazing electrical conductivity. Fullerene has more stronger conductivity than copper, Fullere's weighs only one 6 of copper material.

Fullerene is such a special molecule because of its superior physical and chemical properties.

Because of these superior features, we prefere fullerene in energy electric and optical fields. It is believed that the fulleren's hollow structure allows it to perform drug delivery tasks. In addition, studies continue to be used in molecular recognition applications. It is thought that this molecular recognition technology will help cancer treatment.

The round and solid structure of the buckyballs of fullerenine allows the fullerene to be used in the coating industry. In addition, heat resistance and superconductivity properties of fullerene are studied in the field of nanotechnology.

Hydroxyapatite Nanopowders and Their Applications

Hydroxyapatite, is a naturally occurring mineral form of calcium apatite with the formula Ca 5 (PO 4 ) 3 (OH). Pure hydroxyapatite powder is white. Naturally occurring apatites can, however, also have brown, yellow, or green colorations, comparable to the discolorations of dental fluorosis. Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticles (50 nm, 99.95+%)  has been widely used as a biocompatible ceramic in many areas of medicine, but mainly for contact with bone tissue, due to its resemblance to mineral bone. In mammals, the skeleton presents a carbonated and partially substituted apatite, based on nanocrystal aggregates, and associated with collagen, building up 3-D structures present in various bone tissue conformations like trabecular or cancellous bone. There has been growing interest in developing bioactive synthetic ceramics that could closely mimic natural apatite characteristics. As mentioned before,  Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder  is the main inorganic constituent of bon...

Carbon Nanotubes Specifications and Properties Carbon Nanotubes, simply CNTs, are allotropes of carbon with a round and hollow nanostructure. These barrel shaped carbon molecules have crucial properties, which are significant for nanotechnology, hardware, optics and other different fields of materials science and innovation. The carbon nanotube’s excellent quality as a strong and firm material laid the basis on many applications. Not to mention carbon nanotubes exceptional heat conductivity, electrical and mechanical properties, Carbon Nanotubes are used as additives to diverse auxiliary materials. In terms of rigidity and flexibility Carbon Nanotubes are the stiffest and strongest materials. These quality outcomes from the covalent sp2 bonds framed between the individual carbon molecules. Unlike Graphene , Carbon Nanotubes are either conductive or semiconducting along the tubular hub. Carbon Nanotubes also have absorption, fluorescence properties. Bulk Carbon nanotubes are util...
