Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry Aims and scope

Abstract

The influence of flow rate and concentration of source of hydrocarbon on the properties of the carbon nanotubes formed in the process of thermal decomposition of ethylene on nickel nanoparticles have been investigated. Changes in the rate of gaseous flow has practically no effect on the specific yield and the mean diameter of the nanotubes. However, an increase in the mean diameter and a decrease in the value of the specific yield occurs with increase in the concentration of ethylene.
