Dimethylamino-functionalized fullerenes (pf-C 60 ) have been used as removable ''corks'' at the openings of filled single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). In a proof-of-principle study, SWCNTs have been filled with copper acetate or uranyl acetate, and these encapsulated materials then ''corked'' w
