Abstract
The process of obtaining structurized carbon nanomaterials in a gas-discharge plasma reactor at atmospheric pressure has been investigated. A mathematical model of this process has been developed based on the hypothesis that free carbon formed in the discharge plasma of this reactor is transported from its discharge zone to the deposition zone in the form of nanoparticles and is deposited on the reactor walls under the action of thermophoresis. A comparison of the results of calculations carried out with this model and the corresponding experimental data has strengthened the indicated hypothesis.
