| Abstract (English): |
The construction of three dimensional models of carbon nanostructures like fullerene (C60) was achieved with the assembly of origami made modules. The primary module represents the carbon atom and its three links, which shares with its neighbor atoms. It was possible to construct models in which nanotubes show how the network hexagons vary resulting in a zigzag, chair and chiral nanotubes. In general, three types of single-layer nanotubes are distinguished according to their helicity: "armchair", zigzag and chiral. It can be considered that the armchair and zigzag nanotubes are straight while the chiral nanotubes nanotubes are twisted. Building of nanotube models and subsequent simulation using the m and n chiral vectors provides a visual tool for understanding the electronic properties and the potential of nanotubes.

La construcción de modelos tridimensionales de nanoestructuras de carbono como el fullereno (C60), se logró con el ensamble de módulos hechos por papiroflexia. El módulo primario representa el átomo de carbono y sus tres enlaces, que comparte con sus átomos vecinos. Fue posible la construcción de modelos de nanotubos en los cuales se observa cómo la red de hexágonos varía dando lugar a un nanotubo en zigzag, de silla (armchair) y quirales (chiral). En general, se distinguen tres tipos de nanotubos de capa única según su helicidad: tipo "armchair", zigzag y quiral. Puede considerarse que los nanotubos armchair y zigzag son nanotubos rectos mientras que los nanotubos quirales son retorcidos. La construcción de los nanotubos, y su posterior simulación usando los vectores quirales m y n, proporcionan una herramienta visual para entender las propiedades electrónicas y el potencial que tienen los nanotubos.
