Carbon Nanotubes in Composites

Micelles, polyelectrolytes, peptides, and plasmid DNA with well-defined growth cavities can function as templates for the synthesis of metal nanocrystals. In a similar way, carbon-based toroidal 'nanoreactors' composed of clustered fullerenes could be used to synthesize nanohybrids by forming metal nanocrystals within the confines of the ring.
