Do some investigation! You'll find a lot of information by googling or checking out a book from the library. Hell, go ahead and use wikipedia for some fast information. I'm sure there's a lot of information out there about the "strength" of fullerenes.  |
Thanks.

I suppose we all thought that, in one way or another"
