Synthesis Of Carbon Nanotubes Using High Voltage And High Frequency Induction Field, Kalty Vazquez

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The fields of nanomaterial and nanostructures are some of the fastest growing fields in material science today. Carbon nanotubes are at the forefront of these fields and their unique mechanical and electrical properties are of great interest to those working in multiple engineering fields.

The overall objective of this study was to design and develop a new process and the equipment necessary, to synthesize carbon nanotubes using high voltage and a high-frequency induction field. This was the first time that a high voltage and an induction field have been used simultaneously in high yield production of carbon nanotubes.
