Fullerenes are spherical or tubular molecules composed entirely of carbon, with the best known being buckminsterfullerene (C60). C60 is highly symmetric, resembling the pattern of a soccer ball with 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons. While the sp2 carbon bonds give fullerenes stability, there is also some angle strain due to the curved structure. Fullerenes can be made more stable through electrophilic addition that changes some carbons to sp3 hybridization. Potential applications of fullerenes include cancer treatment by attaching drugs to their surface, use as superconductors, and inhibiting HIV enzymes.
It's simple to understand the synthesis. Hydrothermal method is a chemical reaction in water in a sealed pressure vessel, which is in fact a type of reaction at both high temperature and pressure.

Graphene is an allotrope of carbon, whose structure is one-atom-thick planar sheets of sp2-bonded carbon atoms that are densely packed in a honeycomb crystal lattice.
The development of this technology is still largely research-based, with a relatively large portion of academic participation, although real-world consumer applications such as flexible touchscreen displays are getting closer to reality and could be widely available within the next few years.
Because of its range of extraordinary properties, people are considering using graphene in a myriad of different applications. For example, because graphene is so strong, people want to use it to reinforce plastics, making them conductive at the same time. Because it's transparent and conducts electricity, people want to use it in applications like mobile phone screens, touch screens, TV screens and so on. People are also considering using it to go beyond silicon technology and make our integrated circuits even denser and speedier.
This report categorizes and graphically analyzes graphene technologies, research activity, applications, companies active in this research area, the filings spread, key comparisons etc.
Fullerenes Synthesis Using Fabricated Arc Discharge System with Relatively La...iosrjce
Arc discharge technique is still one of the popular techniques for producing fullerenes. This work
describes an arc discharge installation with a chamber size of 140 mm diameter and 500 mm length that is able
to produce fullerenes. Fullerenes solid was extracted from carbon soot collected from the arc discharge system
at various experimental conditions of discharge current and chamber pressure using the solvent extraction
technique. Fullerenes yield of up to 6 to 8 % was extracted from the fabricated discharge system which was
higher when compared to the 3-4 % yield produced by an arc discharge system of 100 mm diameter and 200
mm length. The fabricated discharge system gave the best fullerenes percentage yield of 8 % at arc current of
150 A and 100 Torr of chamber pressure. Increase in inert atmosphere from 100 to 200 Torr on the amount of
carbon soot vapourization but inhibited the percentage fullerenes yield from 8 to 6 %. Scanning Electron
Microscopy (SEM) and Ultraviolet Visible (UV-Vis) Spectroscopy analysis carried out on all fullerenes solid
extracted revealed the presence of fullerenes. The fabricated arc discharge system suggests that large chamber
size could promote the formation the synthesis of fullerenes.

Graphene eplained by poster presentation
To date, great effort has been made to form uniform graphene
films. Graphene films have been prepared by a variety of techniques, including mechanical exfoliation, graphene
in solution , and epitaxial growth methods. Mechanical exfoliation produces the highest-quality graphene, which is suitable for fundamental studies; epitaxial growth provides the shortest path to graphene-based electronic circuits, and
graphene in solution can offer lower cost and higher throughput for the production of graphene-based nanocomposites as well as larger-size films than other existing methods
Buckyball is the common name for a molecule called Buckminsterfullerene.
which is made of 60 carbon atoms formed in the shape of a hollow ball.
British scientist Harry Kroto discovered it in 1985.
The arrangement of the atoms resembled the shape of the geodesic domes invented by architect Buckminster Fuller.

Colloids are crucial to both ordinary living and pharmacological formulations. the study of both big molecules
and intricately divided multiphase systems is known as colloidal science. the intersection of colloid and
surface science is the multi-phase system. a colloid is a mixture in which one material is suspended within
another substance and has insoluble particles scattered over a tiny scale. between genuine solutions and
suspensions, colloidal solutions or colloidal dispersions represent a middle ground. the dispersed phase of
colloids is distributed throughout the dispersion medium. in many facets of chemistry, colloidal chemistry
knowledge is necessary. this article provides information on what colloids are, their types, sizes, forms,
qualities, and uses.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin

Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Fullerene
1.
2. • Fullerenes consist of 20 hexagonal and 12 pentagonal
rings as the basis of an icosohedral symmetry closed
cage structure.
• Each carbon atom is bonded to three others and is sp²
hybridized.
• Molecule with the largest number of symmetry
operations, the most symmetric molecule - 120
symmetry operations
3. - C60, “Buckminsterfullerene" is a molecule that consists of 60
carbon atoms,
arranged as 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons.
- The shape is the same as that of a soccer ball: the black
pieces of leather are the pentagons, the hexagons are
white.
4. • The C60 molecule is highly symmetric, that means one can
find many transformations that map the molecule onto itself.
• Symmetry operations for a molecule are rotations around an
axis, reflections in a plane, and sometimes so called
inversions.
• All symmetry operations must leave the center of mass of the
molecule in place, so all rotation axes and mirror planes must
go through that point.
• Got three kinds of rotation axes.
5.
6.
7. • Fullerenes are stable, but not totally
unreactive.
• The sp2-hybridized carbon atoms, which are at
their energy minimum in planar graphite, must
be bent to form the closed sphere or tube,
which produces angle strain.
8. • Fullerene is electrophilic addition at 6,6-
double bonds, which reduces angle strain
by changing sp2-hybridized carbons into
sp3-hybridized ones. The change in
hybridized orbitals causes the bond angles
to decrease from about 120° in the
sp2 orbitals to about 109.5° in the
sp3 orbitals. This decrease in bond angles
allows for the bonds to bend less when
closing the sphere or tube, and thus, the
molecule becomes more stable.
• Fullerenes are sparingly soluble in
many solvents - aromatics, such
as toluene and carbon disulfide
10. 1. Do not
dissolve in
water
Fullerenes do not dissolve in
water.
However, it is soluble in
many organic substances
like toluene and carbon
disulphide. This produces a
solution with deep purple
colour.
11. 2. Cannot
conduct
electricity
No movement of electrons
available from one molecule
to the next.
Although it does contain
delocalised electrons, the
electrons are not capable to
move from one C60 to the
next because of the
symmetrical nature of C60
The exception could be the
nano-tubes that are capable
of conducting electricity
along their length.
These are the subjects of
some experiments in
microelectronics.
12. 3. Soft and
slippery
Few covalent bonds
holding the molecules
together but only weak
Van Der Waal’s forces
between the molecules
16. Cancer treatment
• The surface of fullerene can be ‘decorated’ by
chemotherapeutic agents
• An antibody is attached (detect the unique chemical
signature of cancer cell)
• Propel it towards cancerous cells and attach to the
surface of tumour
• Deliver its payload
17. As superconductor
• The pure C60 grows in a lattice and is an insulator.
• By placing alkali atoms in the interstitials the crystal
becomes metallic and eventually superconducting at low
temperatures.
18. HIV-1 protease (enzyme
responsible for the development of
the virus)
• Water-soluble derivatives of fullerenes can inhibit it
• Useful in fighting viruses that lead to AIDS
19. Carbon nanotubes
• Have electrical conductivity 10x better than copper and
100x than steel
• Used in replacing silicon
• Used in synthesis of new compounds that allow
unstable substances to become stabilized when
incorporated within the tubes
