Water soluble fullerene ethanolamine derivative was synthesized by adding fullerene (C-60) into the ethanolamine under nitrogen atmosphere protection. Its molecular structure was characterized by FTIR and ESI-MS. Hydroxyl radicals were generated by adding ethanol solution and nitronyl nitroxide radicals were generated by adding 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl piperidine solution. With irradiation of gamma-ray, scavenging radicals efficiency of fullerene ethanolamine derivative reached to 49.2 %; with irradiation of fast neutron, fullerene ethanolamine derivative showed excellent scavenging radicals efficiency compared with other materials in experiments, which was decreased first and then increased and attained 65 % at most. The results reveal that no matter irradiation by gamma-rays or high-energy neutrons, fullerene ethanolamine derivative presentes favorable scavenging radicals efficiency and may be used as a affective protectant for two irradiations.
