Fullerenes as Nanomodifiers for

Coatings, Composites and Compounds

Fullerene soot (app. 15% fullerenes)

C60/C70 mixtures

C60 with different purities –

especially suited for epoxy-coatings

Fullerenes can be used as nanomodifiers to enhance the physical and

chemical properties of a variety of polymeric materials and coatings.

Very low additions (app. 0,1% w/w) result in:

Higher tensile strength (up to +50%)

Higher impact strength (up to +200%)

Lower friction coefficient

Higher toughness

Higher wear resistance
