  • AggregatedCarbonNanorods - aggregate of carbon nanorods is an allotrope of carbon considered to be the least compressible material known, as measured by its isothermal bulk modulus; aggregated diamond nanorods have a modulus of 491 gigapascals (GPa), while a conventional diamond has a modulus of 442 GPa. ADNRs are also 0.3% denser than regular diamond.
  • AmorphousCarbon - amorphous carbon is an allotrope of carbon that does not have any crystalline structure. As with all glassy materials, some short-range order can be observed, but there is no long-range pattern of atomic positions.
  • CarbonNanofoam - carbon nanofoam is an allotrope of carbon that consists of a low-density cluster-assembly of carbon atoms strung together in a loose three-dimensional web. Each cluster is about 6 nanometers wide and consists of about 4000 carbon atoms linked in graphite-like sheets that are given negative curvature by the inclusion of heptagons among the regular hexagonal pattern.
  • Chaoite - chaoite is an allotrope of carbon that is slightly harder than graphite with a reflection colour of grey to white.
  • Diamond - diamond is a carbon allotrope in which each carbon atom in diamond is covalently bonded to four other carbons in a tetrahedron. These tetrahedrons together form a 3-dimensional network of puckered six-membered rings of atoms.
  • Fullerene - fullerene is a carbon allotrope which take the form of a hollow sphere, ellipsoid, or tube.
  • GlassyCarbon - glassy carbon is an allotrope of carbon which is widely used as an electrode material in electrochemistry, as well as for high temperature crucibles and as a component of some prosthetic devices.
  • Graphite - graphite is an allotrope of carbon which is a conductor, and is the most stable form of solid carbon.
  • Ionsdaleite - ionsdaleite is a hexagonal allotrope of the carbon allotrope diamond.
