Overview
Fullerenes and carbon nanotubes are nanoscale materials composed entirely of carbon atoms arranged in distinctive structures. Fullerenes are closed, cage-like molecules, the best known being a hollow sphere of sixty carbon atoms, while carbon nanotubes are hollow cylinders formed from rolled sheets of single-atom-thick graphene. Both possess notable mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties, and their high strength and conductivity make them attractive components for composites, electronics, energy storage, and biomedical applications. Single-walled carbon nanotubes in particular are widely studied as reinforcing and functional additives in advanced materials. Research published by this journal includes work incorporating carbon nanotubes into engineered materials. Studies on nanocomposites combining single-walled carbon nanotubes with ceramic and carbide phases, prepared by field-activated spark plasma sintering, illustrate how nanotubes are used to tailor the structure and performance of composite materials, while related work examines graphene interface control for tougher ceramic composites. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to fullerenes and carbon nanotubes, supporting readers seeking primary literature on carbon nanomaterials and their integration into high-performance composites.
