new Aerosol assisted CVD method of synthesizinglarge amount ofhigh quality carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with good structural parameters has been developed. We report the optimization of the process by experimental variables of thesynthesis condition. The effect of temperature in the hot zone of the reactor was investigated, and 840-950 0C was chosen as an optimum synthesis temperature. CNTs, obtained with different solvents as a carbon source have been analyzed, and ferrocene volume in cyclohexane solvent was varied, as the result of which has been grown MWCNTs with diameters of 10-85 nm and a small percent of SWCNTs with diameters of 0.85 and 1.14 nm. The position of Fe nanoparticles in the CNTs was defined by TEM observations, which show that Fe nanoparticles
The article reports the results on the development of highly optimized two-factor mechanical method of dispersion of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in polymer matrixes with the aim of preparing of nanocomposites. The investigation of the MWCNTs and nanocomposites was carried out by using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. The effectiveness of the developed method is demonstrated by comparing the electrical conductivity of MWCNT/polymer nanocomposites prepared on the basis of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and the epoxy resin, using two methods-the known chemical and the proposed one-two-factor mechanical.
Distillate fractions of Azerbaijan's oil-gasoline, jet fuel and diesel were tested as a raw material for producing carbon nanotubes. Aerosol CVD technique was employed at atmospheric and low pressures and ferrocene was used as a catalyst. It is shown that at atmospheric pressures carbon nanotubes were formed only from a gasoline fraction. Lower pressure in the reactor during the synthesis process leads to formation of carbon tubular structure from both petroleum fractions-gasoline and jet fuel. Other modifications of carbon were grown at atmospheric pressure in a case used fraction jet fuel and diesel fraction. MWCNTs with diameters of 35 -65 nm have been grown at lower pressure in the reactor using gasoline fraction. The diameter of the MWNTs grown at atmospheric pressure in the reactor was in the range of 80 -215 nm and the length reached 6 microns after the purification process.
The paper deals with the review of the results of detection and analysis of fullerenes in natural objects. The fullerenes (generally, buckminsterfullerenes С60) were revealed in hard subsurface rocks and sedimentary deposits of Cretaceous-Paleogene, Perm and Pre-Cambrian stages of the Earth. The map of the Earth regions of fullerene exploration and the data on fullerene composition in the rocks is provided as well. The concepts of both biogenic and abiogenic fullerene origin are known. In the first case, the process of slow metamorphization of putrid mud and terrestrial crop took place under the impact of compressing and temperature, as a result of which various allotrope compounds of hydrocarbon dispersed in the mineral matrix were formed and accumulated. In the second case, the formation of fullerenes took place due to the shocking impact during thunderbolt or fireballs (Sudbury meteorite, carbonic chondritic meteorites) strikes on the rocks of earth surface, as well as global forest fires. For reliable fullerene identification in the samples of sedimentary and subsurface rocks should be used only physical-chemical methods of high definitions, such as laser desorption / ionization and electric-shocking mass-spectrometry. In the natural objects is predominantly revealed fullerene С60.Other types of fullerenes - C70, C74, C78, C84 and C100 are identified more rarely. A hypothesis on the composition of carbonic nanostructures in the rocks of mud volcanoes in the aspect of obtained information is developed.
