Application
Fullerene Extract, C60 (with approximately 20% C70) serves as a versatile and groundbreaking material with a range of promising applications. Known for its unique closed-cage structure of 60 carbon atoms, Fullerene C60 offers remarkable antioxidative and free-radical scavenging properties, making it highly effective for use in cosmetics, particularly in anti-aging and skin rejuvenation formulations. This black fine powder, first synthesized in 1985, exhibits interesting physical and chemical properties, including the potential to become harder than diamond under high pressure. Its ability to withstand various external conditions, such as heat and strong ultraviolet radiation, further enhances its role in skincare products. Beyond cosmetic applications, the adaptation of fullerene derivatives and their electron transport capabilities indicates potential uses in areas like materials development, pharmaceuticals, and electronics, including superconductivity, ferromagnetism, and charge carrying in batteries. As a product of nanotechnology, Fullerene C60 is poised to contribute significantly across multiple scientific and industrial fields.
