This special issue of "Carbon," a collection of reviewed papers,
was presented at Symposium A, Fullerenes and Carbon Based Materials
at the combined 1997 International Conference on Applied
Materials/European Materials Research Society Spring meeting
(ICAM'97/E-MRS'97) held in Strasbourg (France) from 16-20 June
1997.
140 presentations were given at the conference in seven
different sessions. The most extensively addressed research fields
were carbon materials in general, diamond-like carbon, pristine,
polymeric and endohedral fullerenes, nanotubes, and
carbonitrides.
Of accepted manuscripts, the largest number of contributions is
dedicated to carbon materials in general and to fullerenes.
Highlights in the former are the discussions on hydrogen-free
carbons and on hard carbon coatings. In the fullerenes group many
new results on polymeric structures and on endohedrally-doped
higher fullerenes are reported.
The field of carbon nanotubes is strongly represented with
reports on new techniques for the production of the tubes and where
the analyses by scanning probe microscopy and light scattering are
the central problems. Carbonitrides as well as a few contributions
from related molecular materials like cubanes or oligophenylenes
are included.
The symposium proved to be a valuable venue where new scientific
and technological problems in the field of new materials were
reported.
