Carbon nanomaterials have been at the forefront of nanotechnology since its inception. At the heart of this research are the curved carbon nanomaterial families: fullerenes and carbon nanotubes. While both have incredible properties that have been capitalized upon in a wide variety of applications, there is an aspect that is not commonly exploited by nanoscientists and organic chemists alike: the interaction of curved carbon nanomaterials with curved organic small molecules. By taking advantage of these interactions, new avenues are opened for the use of fullerenes and carbon nanotubes.
自纳米技术诞生以来，碳纳米材料一直处于该领域的前沿。这项研究的核心是弯曲的碳纳米材料家族：富勒烯和碳纳米管。虽然两者都具有令人难以置信的特性，并已在广泛的应用中得到利用，但有一个方面纳米科学家和有机化学家都没有普遍利用：弯曲的碳纳米材料与弯曲的有机小分子之间的相互作用。通过利用这些相互作用，为富勒烯和碳纳米管的使用开辟了新途径。
