Alhoewel buckyballs een waaier aan potentiële toepassingen hebben (zie o.a.
hier,
hier en
hier) zijn ze tot nu toe nog nooit gerealiseerd:
Commercial caution is in order: Buckyball applications remain highly speculative for the reason that all the data aren't in on their basic properties yet. Some possibilities suggested in the first flush of excitement already are looking a little dubious. University of Arizona chemist Donald Huffman, who co-discovered the easy way to make buckyballs, says he sent some to Edwards Air Force Base in California to try as rocket fuel. In early tests, "they couldn't get it to ignite," he says.

Currently, no actual applications of buckyball have been realized. Groundwork using buckyball in reinforcing materials and in drug design have both produced positive results, and it is likely that more uses for buckyball will evolve as more and more scientists enter this new and challenging field.
