“…Besides the extensive use of already mentioned CH 3 CN and various alkylamines, arylalkylamines, and arylamines as NCNTs precursors, NCNTs were successfully prepared by pyrolysis of functional amines, e.g., monoethanolamine [164][165][166], and amides, e.g., carbamide (urea) [167], N,N-dimethylformamide [49,50,105,168,169], and dicyandiamide [170], or mixtures containing amides, e.g., N,N-dimethylformamide/camphor [168], N,Ndimethylformamide/cyclodextrin [169], and (N-phenylcarbamoyl)ferrocene/toluene [171].…”
