Fullerenes Model Set – Build Buckyballs and Carbon Nanotubes
Explore the fascinating world of carbon allotropes with the Fullerenes Model Set, designed to help students, educators, and researchers visualize the unique structures of buckyballs and carbon nanotubes. This advanced modeling kit brings cutting-edge nanotechnology concepts into the classroom or lab.

Construct Buckyballs and Nanotubes
Use the set to build C₆₀ buckyballs, spherical molecules composed entirely of carbon arranged in pentagons and hexagons. You can also construct three distinct carbon nanotube geometries: zigzag, chiral, and armchair—each with its own structural and physical properties.

Visualize Open and Capped Ends
The model set allows you to explore how carbon nanotubes can have open ends or be capped with hemispherical sections of the buckyball structure. These visual details help students understand how geometry influences nanotube stability and functionality.

Real-World Relevance
Carbon nanotubes are known for their extraordinary strength, electrical conductivity, and thermal properties. This model set helps demonstrate why fullerenes are being explored for use in electronics, materials science, medicine, and energy storage.

590 Precision-Made Parts
With 590 durable components, this set provides everything needed to build multiple models at once. Perfect for classroom demonstrations, STEM fairs, or independent study. The Fullerenes Model Set is a must-have for anyone studying advanced molecular geometry or materials science.
