摘要 |
<p>The present invention relates to the use of fullerene molecules (20) having interstitial openings (22) therethrough which are at least partially occupied by polymer molecules or polymer chains (14) wherein the fullerene molecules (20) serve as reinforcing agents in polymer based products such as rubber and plastics, by locking the polymer chains into the space in between the fullerene molecules, and polymer chains bend over a much larger radius than the radius presented by graphite type carbon molecules.</p> |
