Abstract: C60/70 acrylic acid water soluble copolymer, whose average molecular weight is 2000, was synthesized by means of typical free radical copolymerization method. C60/70 (85% C60, 14%C70, 1% high fullerenes) mixture of 45 mg and 2.5 mLacrylic acid were dissolved in 15 mL toluene. The polymerization was initiated by 30 mg A IBN at 70 ℃ under the protection of N2 for 13~15 h, yielding a red brown precipitate. The pured copolymer which is soluble in water has significantly different spectroscopic properties from C60/70.
