• Van der Waals interaction
• Nested fullerene
• Continuum approximation

Analytical formula to determine van der Waals (vdW) interlayer coefficients of nested spherical fullerenes is suggested. The continuum approximation together with the Lennard-Jones potential is utilized. It is shown herein that the greatest contribution to the vdW interaction comes from the adjacent layers and the contribution from a remote layer may be neglected. The vdW interaction is found to be strongly dependent on the radius of the layer, especially when the radius is small enough ( < 6 nm).
