The physical and chemical principles of the preparation of carbon nanoparticles (fullerenes, carbon nanotubes) and their complexes, and the methods for introducing nanoparticles into metal, ceramic and polymer matrices are considered. The most important properties of some materials containing these cluster molecules are given. It is shown that the introduction of carbon nanoparticles into materials, even in small fractions (up to 1.0 wt. %), significantly in some cases, at times alters their structure, electrical and tribological properties.

In the present work we pay an attention to the molecular structural changes between raw coal and its enriched, dense productions. Bituminous Ukhaa-Khudag coal in the form of an enriched, dense coal product is currently used as an energy source by Mongolian consumers for everyday need. There are three types of samples from one source: it is a raw coal (sample 1) and two of industrial prod- ucts as an enriched, dopant (organic based) added coal (sample 2) and simply enriched coal (sample 3). The raw coal general characterization is given through the elemental analysis, thermogravimetry analysis, moreover functional groups were identified by Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy. The differences in the FTIR spectra of the samples were done.Some details are as follows: hydroxyl group vibrations are existing, rather weak in agreement of TG result; vibrations of aliphatic group were rarely in the long wave near region, carbonate minerals in the region of 1300-900 cm−1 are visible but overlapped, and an isolated out-of-plane deformational vibration (around 800 cm−1) or two-adjacent (800-750 cm−1) or three-adjacent (around 700 cm−1) of sp2-hybrid bonded aromatic CHx-groups were still presenting.After the processing hydroxyl group bands were affected in enriched coals, sample 2 and 3. In the spectrum of the sample 2 the long wave bands were intensively blurred.Industry processing retains an amount of water in the productions. Water excess influenced absorbance bands were able to be removed via the drying processing, however, the affection to the spectral struc- ture in sample 2 was unrecoverable.

The results of investigation of mechanical, electrical, thermoelectric and tribological properties of metal-fullerene film composites of Ni-C60and Ti-C60systems is presented. It has been found that doping of metals with fullerenes leads to a significant increase in the strength of the material, and a change in the electrical, optical, and other properties of the material. It is established that metal-fullerene films are characterized by low friction coefficients and high wear resistance. It is experimentally shown that metal-fullerene composite thin films possess a capacitive impedance, that the thermopower of Ti-C60coatings reaches the value of 30 μV/K depending on the Ti/C60ratio.

The presented study in the field of optical area is about receiving polymer new materials in the way of doping a small amount of fullerene С60. Under the method of preparing samples it is revealed characteristics of an interaction between polymer components and doping materials. Significant absorption of ultraviolet radiation by studied samples at the certain concentration of the doping material is presented in the result of the optical study. It is shown that metal-fullerene nanostructures which are on the polymer surface call surface resonance of plasmon absorption.
