Tailor-Made Carbon Nanomaterials for Bulk Applications via High-Intensity Arc Plasma

Different families of carbon nanostructures produced by a continuous plasma process are presented. Due to the flexibility of this original technology, properties of classical carbon black products can be adjusted more freely during synthesis and an even wider range of parameters is accessible.

Summary:Different families of carbon nanostructures produced by a continuous plasma process are presented. Due to the flexibility of this original technology, properties of classical carbon black products can be adjusted more freely during synthesis and an even wider range of parameters is accessible. Novel products with distinctive characteristics are observed when treating nanostructured material in the high-temperature plasma. Evaluation of the application properties of selected materials indicates in certain cases an excellent performance. Plasma-synthesised or plasma-treated carbon nanomaterials have an important potential to improve the performance of carbon-black-containing materials.
