摘要
现在结构多种多样的碳质纳米管和富勒烯管或“巴克球C60管”不仅仅是纳米技术中的一过性热点且已经广为大众所熟知。这些结构每一个都具备特异的有用特性；富勒烯管具有高度的化学反应性而纳米管显示出高的导电活性与物理强度。如果这些特性能够被组合起来从而构成高价值的新型材料会是什么样昵？
The versatile structures of carbon nanotubes and fullerenes, or ＂buckyballs＂, are, by now, familiar to anyone with more than a passing interest in nanotechnology. They each have specific and valuable properties; fullerenes are highly chemically reactive while nanotubes show high electrical activity and physical strength. What if these properties could be combined to provide new classes of high-value materials？
