Note: Buckyballs can, if compressed, return to their original shape and rotate at an astonishing rate. Fullerenes are the constituent particles of buckyballs in conductive carbon nanotubes.
Fullerenes are nanometer-sized molecules that, in their simplest form, form 60 carbon atoms of a graphite layer with a three-dimensional structure . 60 Unlike diamonds and graphite, whose molecules are continuous, fullerenes are closed molecules: they are like C60 and so on. (60 fullerenes), also called buccal and buccal tubules, including nanotubes, nanofibers, and fullerenes have a graphite-like structure, but instead of completely hexagonal sections, carbon atoms are also located at the vertices of the 5 (or 7) polygons.
Carbon nanotubes are one of the most important and widely used carbon structures. They have unique properties and characteristics. Carbon nanotubes, in addition to being very strong, also have good flexibility and flexibility. One of their applications is composite. The most important property of nanotubes is their electrical conductivity, which varies depending on the order of the atoms. They are cylindrical molecules with open or closed ends. The structure of nanotubes is like a sheet of rolled graphite. To better understand the structure of nanotubes, consider a layer of graphite. Atoms that are in a row with (m, n) which represents the coordinates of a point on the plane. So that the coordinates n correspond to the column of atoms and the coordinates m correspond to the row of atoms. As we know, to make a pipe from one plate, it is enough to put one point of the plate on another. A nanotube is like a graphite plate that is shaped like a tube. Depending on how the two ends of the graphite plate are connected, we will have different types of nanotubes.
Conclusion:
Buckyballs can, if compressed, return to their original shape and rotate at an astonishing rate. Fullerenes are the constituent particles of buckyballs in conductive carbon nanotubes.
