Different families of such fullerenes are presented, sometimes via more than one construction.

Samples were analyzed with a high-resolution transmission electron microscope. The main characteristics observed were huge and very well defined nanotubes of several nm long and few nm wide, which are presumably hollow, although they are capped at one end. At this level of irradiation, we were able to find neither onion-like structure nor nanoparticles through out other areas, as it is usual in similar hexagonal structures of the dichalcogenide family.","PeriodicalId":12470,"journal":{"name":"Fullerene Science and Technology","volume":"6 1","pages":"143 - 151"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86651675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The free radicals and diene sites are formed on rubber chains during mixing by the mechanochemical degradation, which is caused by shear stresses.

The action of M1 and M2 was dose-dependent, and M1 was found to be more effective than M2. In addition, under irradiation and in the presence of oxygen, M2 could produce hydroxyl radicals. These data indicate that the quenching activity of the malonic acid derivative of C60 was closely related to the integrity of conjugated double bonds, and some C60 derivatives with specific structures might act as the eliminator or producer of hydroxyl radicals under different conditions.","PeriodicalId":12470,"journal":{"name":"Fullerene Science and Technology","volume":"30 1","pages":"113 - 124"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81375769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
