DEF

A compound that has been formed from fullerene by substitution of carbon or covalent attachment of a moiety.

CONT

In the last two decades, various new forms of nanoscale carbon materials, including fullerenes and carbon nanotubes, have been discovered, synthesized and manufactured. These are promising materials for many industrial fields associated with nanotechnologies because of their unique electronic, electromagnetic, thermal, optical and mechanical properties.

OBS

A large number of applications have been suggested for basic fullerenes and theirfunctionalized derivatives. Potential applications include organic photovoltaics, polymerelectronics, antioxidants, biopharmaceuticals, antibacterials, HIV inhibition, catalysts,water purification, MRI agents, optical devices, scanning tunneling microscopy, andatomic force microscopy ... Fullerenes have also been the subject of many studies related to radioactive materials. They are being extensively investigated as carrier species for medical radionuclides in cancer therapy ...

OBS

fullerene derivative: term describing specific types of carbon nanoparticles.

OBS

fullerene derivative: term and definition standardized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
