Q2 of 23 Page 10

What are carbon nanobuds? Explain in brief.

Carbon Nanobuds are recently discovered material which is obtained by combining allotropes of carbon nanotubes and fullerenes. In the new material the Fullerene-like buds are bonded covalently to the outer sidewalls of carbon-nanotube thus having useful properties of both fullerenes and carbon nanotubes
