Here is a list of applications, where usage of fullerenes is deemed to be the most advantageous. This list is not meant to be complete. Rather, it reflects areas where some R&D results and/or support are available.
Machining
- Super hard coatings for cutting tools
- High performance cooling liquid
Electrical and electronic components
- Composite galvanic coatings for terminals and switches. Especially suitable for silver contacts
- High conductivity adhesive compounds
- Carbon-only masks for X-ray,e-beam and ion treatment
- Sintered fullerene materials for cold cathodes
- High conductivity/high strength bronze alloys with better performance than beryllium bronze
Engineered materials
- Carbon slide bearings for water-cooled heavy duty friction assemblies
- Polyurethane plastic materials with high heat conductivity
- Composite polymer materials with unique mechanical and thermodynamic characteristics.
- Ultrahigh strength carbon fibers
