Abstract:The fullertubes represent an exciting new type of molecular carbon. This unique structure consists of a nanotube belt similar to a rolled graphene substructure, but with two fullerene based endcaps. The demand for purified fullertubes is based on the excitement of application development and fundamental research. Regardless of the desired experiment, the first requirement is to obtain isomerically purified fullertubes. In this presentation, we discuss the separation challenges and solutions to these technical … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
