Title: HELICAL CARBON NANOTUBES AND NANOCOMPOSITES:
        MECHANICAL AND FLAME - RETARDANT PROPERTIES

Abstract:

Helical carbon nanotubes have been synthesized by CCVD decomposing acetylene at 700°C on various supported metal catalysts. They have been studied by high resolution TEM, electron diffraction, AFM... Using AFM, and determining the fundamental vibrations of a coiled CNT, it was possible to determine the weight of a single nanoparticle of ca. 1 femto –gram. In the nanocomposite materials the surface of interaction between the CNTs and the matrix is the most important parameter. Flame – retardant properties can also be arrived at using CNTs in composite materials.
