Abstract
A hybrid material is provided which comprises a first single-walled nanotube having a lumen, and a fill molecule contained within the lumen of the single-walled nanotube. A method for producing the hybrid material is also provided wherein a single-walled nanotube is contacted with a fill molecule to cause the fill molecule to enter the lumen of the single-walled nanotube.
Claims5
A method for producing a hybrid material comprising a single-walled nanotube having a lumen and a fill molecule contained within the lumen of the single-walled nanotube, the method comprising the step of annealing the single-walled nanotube in the presence of the fill molecule to provide said hybrid material, wherein the fill molecule comprises a C60 molecule.
