Fullerene assembly processes comprise the afterward 5 subprocesses: (i) amalgam of fullerenes or fullerene-containing soot; (ii) extraction; (iii) breach (purification) for anniversary fullerene molecule, acquiescent authentic fullerenes such as C60; (iv) amalgam of derivatives (mostly appliance the techniques of amoebic synthesis); (v) added post-processing such as burning into a matrix.
The two amalgam methods acclimated in convenance are the arc method, and the agitation method. The latter, apparent at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is adopted for ample calibration automated production.
