Stages in Multilayer Carbon Nanotube Formation with Mechanical Activation of Amorphous Carbon

Аннотация

Stages of multilayer carbon nanotube formation are studied during mechanical activation of amorphous carbon prepared by pyrolysis from plant raw material. It is shown that prolonged mechanical activation of a carbon composite in a vario-planetary mill (>36 h) leads to formation of aggregates and loss of nanotube thermal stability.
