Fullerenes, their Properties, Medical Applications of them, and their Role in Drug Delivery
In 1985, three
scientists produced a fullerene, named C60, in fewer quantities by vaporizing
the graphite in the arc or the laser beam or with an electric current in a
low-pressure argon or helium atmosphere. Since then, they have gained
significant attention in different fields. The newly found molecule was named
by these scientists after Richard Buckminster Fuller, in 1967, he made a dome
of shape like the carbon cluster, whereas, in 1970, the possibility of
fullerenes existence wa

Analyzed: Enormous Sphere Fullerene
A fullerene is the three-dimensional allotrope of carbon shaped like
a sphere, tube or ellipsoid with the carbon molecules bound to each other
through single and double bonds forming pentagonal and hexagonal fused rings. Due
to their π-electrons, fullerenes exhibit interesting phenomena that are easily
manipulated by chemical methods. Fullerenes are presented with the empirical
formula of Cn to adopt a closed mesh
morphology with the most famous member called buckminsterfullerene (som

Types of Fullerenes and their specific uses (C60, C70, Fullerenols)
Fullerenes are
the allotropic form of carbon and a closed convex polyhedra, composed of an
even number of carbon atoms. The name fullerene originated from that of Richard
Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983), an American engineer, architect, inventor, and
writer, known for having discovered the structural principle of tensegrity, it
is the property of a structure that stand by the forces of tension and compression.
Fuller is also known for his works on the synergetic, his participation in the
