Summary:Several types of carbon nanomaterial were produced using a simple method involving arc discharge in foam, and Fe-C composite materials were produced using this technique in foam containing Fe particles. In TEM observation, it was observed that the surfaces of the Fe particles were covered with a 20-50 carbon layer. Spherical objects with complex shapes were also observed on the nanomaterials, and varied from 200 nm to above 600 nm in size. It was found that these spherical objects formed a twisted graphite sheet. [DOI: 10.1380/ejssnt.2009.195]
