Synthesis of Amorphous Carbon Nanotubes and Their Properties
Y. Yokomichi, H. Nishino, H. Nakaoka, R. Nishida, M. Yamada, M. Sakai, T. Matsui1Amorphous carbon nanotubes (a-CNTs) were synthesized using one step chemical reaction, in which the mixtures of poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) and transition metal halides were heated up to 1073-1473K. A-CNTs showed various interesting properties such as hydrogen adsorption, and easy dispersion into some kind of polymers and solvents. In this presentation, the synthetic method, the reaction mechanism, the structure of the sidewall, and the properties of a-CNTs are discussed.
