Production of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes by Modified Arc Discharge Method

Effects of Gravity and Magnetic Field on Production of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes by Arc-Discharge Method

High-yield synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes by gravity-free arc discharge

Single-walled carbon nanotubes ~SWNTs! have been produced in high yield by the dc arc discharge technique under gravity-free conditions. Gravity-free conditions can reduce the convection flow of the buffer gas during the arc discharge, which results in the increase of high thermostatic volume around the arc flame. The yields of both the total soot and SWNTs in soot are significantly increased. ...

Production of Carbon Nanotubes and Carbon Nanoclusters by the JxB Arc-Jet Discharge Method

Dispersion and characterization of arc discharge single-walled carbon nanotubes--towards conducting transparent films.

This study addresses a combination of a well-developed and mild dispersion method and high-quality arc discharge single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) as starting materials. Thus, we advance in fabrication of transparent, conducting films with extraordinary low material loss during SWCNT processing. The starting material was characterized by means of thermogravimetric analysis, high-resolutio...

Single - Walled 4 . Single - Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are hollow, long cylinders with extremely large aspect ratios, made of one atomic sheet of carbon atoms in a honeycomb lattice. They possess extraordinary thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties and are considered as one of the most promising nanomaterials for applications and basic research. This chapter describes the structural, electronic, vibra...
