title: Fullerenol entrapment in calcite microspheres.
abstract: Hybrid microspheres of calcium carbonate/fullerenol were synthesized and characterized. Their morphology depends on the concentration of the fullerenol solutions. XRD and FT-IR measurements proved that the mineral phase is consistently calcite, while fluorescence confocal microscopy indicated that fullerenol is homogenously included in the crystalline matrix.
