A new classification of the different types of fullerene-containing polymers is presented according to their different properties and applications they exhibit in a variety of fields.13 C NMR and Raman studies of a series of polymeric samples of fullerene-grafted poly (acrylamide), which were prepared by systematic variation of concentration of fullerene and acrylamide, are described.13 C NMR spectral analysis of the polymeric samples showed a peak for fullerene at 143 δppm and for poly (acrylamide) between 170 and 180 δppm and Raman spectral analysis of the polymeric samples gave the Raman band for fullerene between 1470 cm −1 and poly (acrylamide) at 2800 cm. The Tg value, obtained from DSC results, showed a high glass transition temperature at 100.94˚C revealing the presence of fullerene in the polymeric matrix. TGA analysis shows that polymer is thermally stable up to 340˚C.
