Research project We have studied fullerenes since 1991, gradually changing the emphasis from basic studies of pure fullerenes to synthesis and analysis of fullerene polymers. At present, and in the near future, we study doped fullerenes and carbon nanotubes, including nanotube "peapods".
We are trying to create light, strong materials from carbon nanotubes and fullerenes, either by direct linking of nanotubes or by producing composites from nanotubes and polymers or metals. We have long been able to bond fullerene molecules together to form fullerene polymers, and we have now also successfully carried out this process inside carbon nanotubes, to produce long chains of fullerene polymers. In this project we will develop this process, adding other chemicals to the fullerenes inside the nanotubes. We will also try to use high pressure to react nanotubes, forming new strong materials.
