The present invention provides a fullerene suspension and a method for producing a fullerene suspension having high dispersion stability without any chemical compound. Also, the fullerene suspension and its producing method makes it possible to be applied in various fields including the field of medical and pharmaceutical science and the field of foods and environment, in which the fullerene suspension obtained by the prior methods had not been applied. The fullerene is ground to form nanoparticles by irradiating a fullerene in a poor solvent with a laser. The pulse laser having a width of several-ten femtoseconds to several-hundred nanoseconds is appropriately applied.

Method for producing fullerene suspension

An apparatus for forming ultrafine particles, including: a light source generating a laser beam to be irradiated at an organic substance; at least one microflow channel capable of passing therethrough a suspension containing the organic substance; and a flow device for allowing the suspension containing the organic substance to continuously or intermittently pass through the microflow channel, the organic substance present in the microflow channel being irradiated with the laser beam at least once within a predetermined period, thereby forming ultrafine particles of the organic substance.

A method of producing a medicinal nanoparticle suspension is provided, wherein a medicinal ingredient added in a suspending solution is ground to form nanoparticles of the medicinal ingredient by irradiating the suspending solution with a laser. The process is implemented after adding a poorly water-soluble or water-insoluble medicinal ingredient of a drug in a poor solvent to form the suspending solution.

Method of producing medicinal nanoparticle suspension

To derive spectrum information on chemical intermediates in photochemical reactions during transitional periods, a transient grating spectroscopy uses white light as the probe light in the pico-second region and monochromatic light in the microsecond region. According to the procedure, it is possible to analyze the photochemical reaction of thin films and interface layers as a function of time at a high precision.
