What Are The Benefits And Uses Of Fullerene C60 Beyond Cosmetics?

 

Fullerene C60 powder is a cage-like molecule composed of 60 carbon atoms; it is an allotrope of carbon and possesses unique physicochemical properties.

 

It is sparingly soluble in water and requires aromatic solvents (such as toluene or chlorobenzene) or carbon disulfide for dissolution.

 

 

1. Antioxidant

Its free-radical scavenging capacity is 172 times that of Vitamin C; possessing exceptional stability, it provides long-lasting cellular protection.

 

2. Electron Acceptor Capability

Capable of accepting multiple electrons, it holds potential for semiconductor or superconducting applications.

 

3. Mechanical Strength

C60 powder is theoretical strength is one million times that of steel; it exhibits high resistance to pressure and chemical corrosion.

 

4. Molecular Cage Structure

Its hollow structure enables it to encapsulate metal atoms or drug molecules.
