Superconducting materials production

A whole new chemistry has been developed around this discovery, and the unusual properties have given rise to suggestions that it could be made into products for a superconducting material, a three-dimensional polymer, new catalysts, new materials with unusual electrical and optical properties and very high mechanical strength, sensors, nanotubes, nanowires, and so on. At this moment, there are, as yet, no products based on the fullerene on the market.

In a machine made of superconducting materials, the electrical current would meet no resistance at all. All of the electrical energy could be used productively. It could make the machine operate, rather than being lost as heat.

The problem of reliable structural materials for use at low temperatures has recently become topical. Progress in space research, storage and transportation of liquefied gases, superconducting electrical machinery, and superconducting instrument production requires new structural materials serviceable at long exposures to extreme conditions of operation without deterioration of their physical and mechanical properties. Only some aspects of the development of cryogenic materials science in the USSR are mentioned in this paper, and these have been carried out at the Physico-Technical Institute of Low Temperatures of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences in Kharkov.
