摘要:
This invention is directed to a new composition of matter in the form of chemically derivatized silica coated fullerenes, including silica coated C60 molecules and silica coated carbon nanotubes, processes for making the same and to uses for the derivatized silica coated fullerenes. Included among many uses in chemical, physical or biological fields of use, but not limited thereto, are high speed, low loss electrical interconnects for nanoscale electronic devices, components and circuits. In one embodiment, this invention also provides a method for preparing silica coated fullerenes having substituents attached to the surface of silica coated fullerenes by reacting silica coated fullerenes with a wide range of organic or inorganic chemical species in a gaseous or liquid state. Preferred substituents include but are not limited to organic groups and organic groups containing heteroatoms such as oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and halogens. The identity of the surface functional group is chosen to provide desirable properties to the silica coated fullerenes including but not limited to solubility, miscibility, stickiness, and melting point. The present invention also describes the application of surface functionalized silica coated fullerenes as components of polymer blends and composites.

A multi-layer fullerene, particularly a carbon nano-onion which is nano-size particulate can be produced efficiently and in high purity by irradiating soot-like carbon such as carbon black obtained by incomplete combustion or thermal cracking of carbon-containing compound such as hydrocarbon, aromatic oil and so on with high energy such as electron rays, gamma rays, X-rays, beam from an ion source and so on, and heat-treated.

The invention relates to physical chemistry and can be used for adjusting the rate of autocatalytic hydrogenation reactions. The method for producing a palladium-containing hydrogenation catalyst consists in reducing divalent palladium from the initial compound thereof and precipitating the thus reduced palladium on a carbon material, wherein, according to said invention, the initial compound is embodied in the form of tetra aqua-palladium (II) perchlorate. The reduced palladium is precipitated on a nano-carbon material which can be embodied in the form of fullerene C60, carbon nanotubes, cathodic deposit and the mixture of C60 and C70 fullerenes at the following ratio thereof: 60-80 mass % fullerene C60 and 20-40 mass % fluorine C70. The invention makes it possible to develop the method for producing a palladium-containing hydrogenation catalyst which exhibits a higher catalytic activity and operates in softer conditions (at a room temperature and a normal (atmospheric) pressure).

After an ultrafine particle is disposed on a giant fullerene by driving the ultrafine particle using an electron beam, the ultrafine particle is enclosed in a core hollow portion of the giant fullerene, by contracting the giant fullerene with the electron beam irradiation. Or a metal ultrafine particle composed of an active metal is enclosed in the core hollow portion of the giant fullerene, by irradiating a high energy beam such as the electron beam to an amorphous carbon including the active metal to form the giant fullerene in an irradiated portion, and by contracting the giant fullerene with the irradiation of the high energy beam.

The invention relates to an improved synthesis of fullerene (C.sub.60) films, whereby improved purity and adhesion to a substrate are achieved. The invention is not limited to C.sub.60 molecules and other fullerenes and fullerene based materials, including for example, metallofullerenes, fluorinated fullerenes, and codeposition of fullerene and other solid lubricants. The invention also relates to the use of these fullerene materials in oils, greases, polymers and other materials, both organic and inorganic, for improving lubrication and wear life. The invention further relates to a process for the ion bombardment of fullerene materials, including but not limited to, C.sub.60 fullerene materials to improve their tribological properties.

The invention provides a nanometer sized carbon tubule enclosing a foreign material except for carbon. The carbon tubule comprises a plurality of tubular graphite monoatomic sheets coaxially arranged. The foreign material is introduced through a top portion of the carbon tubule. The introduction of the foreign material is accomplished after forming an opening at the top portion of the carbon tubule either by contacting the foreign material with the top portion of the carbon tubule together with a heat treatment or by an evaporation of the foreign material on the top portion of the carbon tubule together with the heat treatment. The foreign material is introduced only in a center hollow space defined by an internal surface of the most inner tubular graphite monoatomic sheet.
