*** 9661369 Chibante This proposal explores the viability of solvent-free manufacture of the molecular form of carbon, know collectively as fullerenes. As part of an innovative design in the manufacturing process, it is proposed to utilize direct in situ sublimation of molecular fullerenes from the nascent "soot", during continuous on-line production. Important parameters such as temperature gradient, inert gas pressure and residence time will be evaluated. The evolution of this Phase I project will naturally grow into the Phase II program wherein three further major concepts will be implemented. These advances will lead to more than an order magnitude decrease in production cost ($300 /kg) in the short-term, and will set the precedent for large scale manufacture. The proposed Phase I/II program will result in a marked decrease in cost and greatly increased availability and quality of these fundamental materials in the immediate future. The demand continues to grow rapidly and practical applications are within range of the lower anticipated costs. ***

*** 9661369 Chibante 该提案探讨了无溶剂制造碳分子形式（统称为富勒烯）的可行性。作为制造过程中创新设计的一部分，建议在连续在线生产过程中利用来自新生“烟灰”的分子富勒烯的直接原位升华。 将评估温度梯度、惰性气体压力和停留时间等重要参数。 第一阶段项目的演变将自然发展为第二阶段计划，其中将实施另外三个主要概念。 这些进步将导致短期内生产成本降低超过一个数量级（300 美元/公斤），并将开创大规模生产的先例。 拟议的一期/二期计划将在不久的将来显着降低成本，并大大提高这些基础材料的可用性和质量。需求持续快速增长，实际应用处于较低的预期成本范围内。 ***
