Technological characteristics of the processes of carbon nanostructure production by the methods of plasma-arc and gas-pyrolytic deposition

Abstract

The techniques of pyrolytic vapor deposition from acetylene and plasma arc vacuum deposition of graphite are used to prepare carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Graphite electrodes for plasma arc deposition are premodified with transition metals by electrochemical deposition from aqueous solutions of their salts. It is shown by SEM and AFM that the structure and morphology of the surface of CNT samples depends on the synthesis technique.

On the synthesis and thermal conductivity of nanocomposites with multiwalled carbon nanotubes

“…3; the following notation was used in the figure: ER is epoxy resin; ER/TNC is epoxy resin with Taunit com mercial nanotubes [14]; ER/CPD ENTs is epoxy resin with unaligned catalytic pyrolysis deposition entangled nanotubes [15,16]; ER/HANTs is epoxy resin with horizontally aligned nanotubes; ER/VANTs is epoxy resin with VANTs; and VANTs is a VANT array.…”

Heat Propagation in Anisotropic Heterogeneous Polymer-CNT Composites

“…Our SEM inspection showed that TNC-powder composed of very entangled and branching nanotubes conglomerated in micron-sized ball-like particles with a significant (up to 20%) amorphous fraction. The setup for VANTs growth has been described previously [27]. Schematically, it was a quartz tube of about 1" in diameter placed in an automatically temperature controlled oven with an automatically controlled flow rates of buffer gas (N 2 ).…”
