[Function] A carbon nanotube is a carbon sheet in which a 6-membered ring composed of carbon atoms is assembled into a cylindrical shape. It has a closed structure. The portions having the 5-membered rings at both ends have higher reactivity than the portions having only the 6-membered rings on the side surface of the tube. When the carbon nanotube is heated in oxygen by utilizing it, the five-membered ring portion reacts with oxygen, and both ends of the carbon nanotube having the five-membered ring portion are opened. At this time, if a molten metal or the like exists near the opening, the metal or the like is introduced into the carbon nanotube due to a capillary phenomenon. Both ends of the thus obtained composite carbon nanotube remain open, but the opening has high reactivity because the bond between carbon atoms is broken. Further, the diameter of the carbon nanotube has a size of about several nm, which is almost the same as the diameter of fullerenes such as C 60 . Fullerenes have various diameters from C 60 with a diameter of about 1 nm,
Fullerenes also have a five-membered ring portion like both ends of the carbon nanotube before opening. When mixed open carbon nanotubes are mixed with fullerenes of various sizes including fullerenes having a diameter similar to that of carbon nanotubes and heated in an inert gas, the five-membered ring portion of fullerenes and composite carbon nanotubes Reacts with the part where the bond between the carbon atoms is broken, and can block the opening of the composite carbon nanotube.

Example 1 A composite carbon nanotube having a lead compound in the hollow portion and 50 mg of fullerenes obtained by soxhlet-extracting carbon soot obtained by an arc discharge method with a toluene solvent were mixed and placed in a quartz tube.
After filling the quartz tube with argon gas so that the pressure in the quartz tube was 800 torr, the quartz tube was sealed. The sealed quartz tube was placed in an electric furnace and heated to 500 ° C. to react for one month. After the reaction, the reaction product was taken out from the quartz tube and observed by an electron microscope. As a result, it was confirmed that there were composite carbon nanotubes in which both ends of the tube were closed. Since the reactivity is not so high, the mixing ratio of the opened composite carbon nanotubes and the fullerenes is more likely to proceed when the fullerenes are mixed more than the stoichiometric ratio of 1: 1. The heating temperature during the reaction may be 500 ° C. or higher and lower than the melting temperature of the substance contained in the composite carbon nanotube. Further, the longer the reaction time is, the more closed carbon nanotubes can be obtained. Helium gas may be used as the atmosphere gas in addition to argon gas.
