TLDR
A new material containing macroscopic quantities of hollow nanometric carbon onions with from 2 to about 8 graphitic shells, with outer diameters ranging from 3 to 10 nm (characterized by high-resolution electron microscopy), is produced by heat treatment of pure carbon soot.About:

Nanocapillarity and Chemistry in Carbon Nanotubes
TL;DR: Nanotube cavities should be less chemically reactive than graphite and may serve as nanosize test tubes, and have been illustrated by monitoring the decomposition of silver nitrate within nanotubes in situ in an electron microscope, which produced chains of silver nanobeads separated by high-pressure gas pockets.

New Perspectives on the Structure of Graphitic Carbons
TL;DR: In this paper, a review aims to show how the new knowledge gained as a result of research on fullerene-related carbons can be applied to well-known forms of carbon such as microporous carbon, glassy carbon, carbon fibers, and carbon black.

Helical microtubules of graphitic carbon
TL;DR: Iijima et al. as mentioned in this paper reported the preparation of a new type of finite carbon structure consisting of needle-like tubes, which were produced using an arc-discharge evaporation method similar to that used for fullerene synthesis.
