| Large fullerenes and iron encapsulated-graphitic shelled nano-particles that are formed during the synthesis of carbon nanotubes have been functionalized by the addition of alkyl radicals and isolated by extraction into common organic solvents. The soluble, functionalized fullerenes have been isolated from crude nanotubes that were prepared by by Laser Oven, DC Arc and HiPco SWNT Production Methods. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), UV-Vis-nIR, laser desorption ionization-mass spectrometery (LDI-MS), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) analyses have been carried out. |
