ABSTRACT:
Fullerenes are synthesized by subjecting carbon in the form of particulates or as the carbon of a liquid or gaseous hydrocarbon, that can be continuously fed to a variety of intense, heat-generating processes that vaporize the carbon from the fluid comprising the particulates or hydrocarbons into an environment that condenses the vaporized carbon to the new form of carbon fullerenes.
