Abstract

The possibilities of plasma-chemical synthesis of carbon and composite nanomaterials in a dc electric arc are demonstrated in experiments. Synthesis of tungsten carbide nanoparticles is implemented, along with the known processes of synthesis of carbon nanostructures and metal nanoparticles.
