Note: A nanotube is a member of the Florence family, which also includes C70 bucky wings. Fluorenes are a large cluster of carbon atoms in the form of a closed cage and have special characteristics that have not been found in any other compound before.
Therefore, Florences in general constitute an interesting family of compounds that will certainly be widely used in future applications and technologies. There are many strange structures of florences, including regular spherical particles, cones, tubes, and other complex and strange shapes . The structure of the buckyball is in the shape of a sphere and the nanotube is in the shape of a cylinder, usually at least one end is covered with a hemispherical cap of the buckyball structure. They are cylindrical molecules and have amazing properties that make them suitable materials for use in many applications of nanotechnology, electronics, optics and other fields of science. They have extraordinary strength , unique electrical properties, and are efficient conductors of heat.
C70 carbon nanotubes act as strong oxidizing insulators for low energy organic layers. The name Buckyball C70 is derived from its size, because its diameter is in nanometers (about 50,000 times smaller than the diameter of a human head) and its length can reach several millimeters. Their long length of several microns and small diameter of several nanometers results in a very large ratio of length to diameter. Therefore, they can be considered as one-dimensional Florences.
In this way, C70 bucky wings have special electronic, mechanical and molecular interesting properties. The characteristic of carbon nanotubes depends on the effect of their almost one-dimensional structure on their molecular and electronic properties. Nanotubes exist in two main categories: single-walled nanotubes and multi-walled nanotubes MWNTs Single-walled nanotubes can be considered as long sheets of graphite wrapped in a cylindrical shape. The ratio of length to diameter of nanotubes is around 1000 and they can be considered as almost one-dimensional structures. Nanotubes are completely formed like graphite.
Conclusion :
This hybrid structure is stronger than the SP 2 hybrid that exists in diamond and gives unique strength to these molecules. Nanotubes usually stick together in the form of strings under van der Waals forces. Under high pressure, nanotubes can be fused together and connected, and it is possible to produce wires of unlimited length and very strong.
