In this review, the properties of buckminsterfullerene and its organic and polymeric reactions were focused. In addition, polymer blending with $C_{60}$ will be briefly introduced. As soon as $C_{60}$ was discovered, chemists put their efforts to explore its reactivity with other compounds. The knowledge of the organic reactions with $C_{60}$ was extended to construct different types of fullerene polymers such as side chain fullerene polymers, main chain fullerene polymers, star shaped fullerene polymers, and dendritic fullerene polymers.

Single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) can be modified to produce a new concept of hybrid materials by introducing atoms or molecules inside their cylindrical empty space. Such an endohedral doping of the SWCNTs is expected to decisively alter their electronic transport and mechanical properties, In this study, we purified SWCNTs by three-step purification processes and formed the peapod structure by introducing $C_{60}$ fullerenes inside the SWCNTs. $C_{60}$ molecules were observed to be regularly arranged by transmission electron microscopy. In Raman spectra, the radial breathing mode (RBM) rather than the other modes was significantly affected by the endohedral injection of $C_{60}$. The RBM intensity was more greatly reduced in the large-diameter SWCNTs than the small-diameter ones, Raman spectroscopy is expected to be a key technique for analyzing $C_{60}$-encapsulated SWCNTs.

We have fabricated solar cell devices based on zinc-phthalocyanine(ZnPc) as donor(D) and fullerene(C60) as electron acceptor(A) with doped charge transport layers, and BCP and $Alq_3$ as an exciton blocking layer(EBL). We have measured the photovoltaic characteristics of the solar cell devices using the Xe lamp as a light source. We were use of $Alq_3$ layer leads to external power conversion efficiency was 2.65% at illumination intensity $100mW/cm^2$. Also we confirmed the optimum thickness ratio of the DA hetero-junction is about 1:2.

Fullerene oxide[$C_{60}(O)_n$, ($n{\geq}1$)] was synthesized by dissolving fullerene[$C_{60}$] and 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid in toluene under refluxing condition for 5 h. Hybrid fullerene oxide-silver nanoparticle composites were synthesized by dissolving fullerene oxide and silver nitrate[$AgNO_3$] in diethylene glycol under ultrasonic irradiation for 3 h. The synthesized hybrid nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and ultraviolet-visible[UV-vis] spectroscopy. The catalytic activity for the reduction of various nitroanilines[NAs] was identified by UV-vis spectrophotometer. The efficiency of the catalytic reduction by the synthesized hybrid nanocomposites has an order of 4-NA > 2-NA > 3-NA.

To elucidate the action mechanism of MCS-C2, a novel analogue of toyocamycin and sangivamycin, its effect on the expression of cell cycle-related proteins in the human myelocytic leukemia cell line HL-60 was examined using Western blotting and a flow cytometric analysis. MCS-C2, a selective inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases, was found to inhibit cell growth in a time- and dose-dependent manner, and inhibits cell cycle progression by inducing the arrest at G1 and G2/M phases, in HL-60 cells. The flow cytometric analysis revealed an appreciable arrest of cells in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle after treatment with MCS-C2. The HL-60 cell population increased gradually from 13% at 0 h, to 28% at 12 h in the G2/M phase, after exposure to $2{\;}\mu\textrm{M}$ MCS-C2. Furthermore, Western blot analysis demonstrated that MCS-C2 induced the cell cycle arrest at G1 phase through the inhibition of pRb phosphorylation. Hypophosphorylated pRb accumulated after treatment with $5{\;}\mu\textrm{M}$ MCS-C2 for 12 h, whereas, the level of hyperphosphorylated pRb was reduced. Thus, treatment of the cell with MCS-C2 suppressed the hyperphosphorylated form of pRb with a commensurate increase in the hypophosphorylated form.

The waste from beer fermentation broth (WBFB) has been found an excellent and inexpensive resource for bioethanol production. We tried to evaluate the saccharification and fermentation capabilities of WBFB to confirm its effectiveness for bioethanol production. The saccharification potentials of the WBFB were evaluated at various temperatures (30, 40, 50, 60 and $70^{\circ}C$). It was found that the saccharification capabilities increased with temperature and highest reached maximum at $60^{\circ}C$ and $70^{\circ}C$ after 4h. Ethanol production from a mixture of WBFB and chemically defined media (CDM) without addition of any microbial species confirmed the fermentation capabilities of WBFB. Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation were performed using WBFB, starch solution and CDM as culturing media. The maximum yield of bioethanol production was obtained at $30^{\circ}C$. The saccharifying enzymes and the yeast cells present in WBFB were essential factors for the production of bioethanol from WBFB without any additional enzymes or microbial cells.
