ABSTRACT:
Buckyball as a novel nanomaterial was discovered by Scientist Fuller, hence termed as Fullerenes. This new allotrope forms an extensive series of polyhedral cluster molecules, Cn (n even), comprising fused pentagonal and hexagonal rings of C atoms, which becomes base of nanotechnology. Pure fullerenes, derived fullerenes, metal endohedral fullerenes and carbon nanotube fullerenes are available for nanoscience. They have different shapes showing surprising physical and chemical characteristic. The natural sources and synthetic sources are available for their production. They show many biomedical, therapeutic, diagnostic and miscellaneous applications. Enviromental toxicity and biological toxicity are also reported. The global market for fullerenes in 2005 worth over $60 million. Fullerenes are the future for nanomedicine and nanosurgery.
Key Words: Buckyball, Fullerene, nanomaterial, allotrope.
