The overall goal of this project is to initiate a fundamental study of the hybrid materials by understanding the role of each component of the hybrid on its behavior in the environment. This project will first study systematically the aggregation behavior of higher order fullerenes, i.e., nC70, nC80, and nC84 in aquatic systems. The eventual goal is to come up with a predictive capability for the peapod hybrid aggregation from their elemental aggregation behavior in typical aquatic systems.
