Abstract
The selective production of fullerenes and nanotubes is a challenging problem. Molecular dynamics calculations can reveal the physical and chemical properties of various carbon nanostructures and can help to devise the possible formation pathways. In our previous publications we have presented various graphene patterns which could transform in a self organising way into the desired structure. The processes were realized in molecular dynamics simulations. In the present publication we review the molecular dynamics method used in our previous calculations and give further graphene patterns for Cn fullerenes from C60 to C100. Also the possibility of experimental realizations will be discussed.
