A dynamic continuum of nanostructured carbons in the combustion furnace

The presence of C60, carbon onions and higher fullerenes are confirmed in products from a carbon black combustion furnace. Acetylenic, C2, units participate in the formation and growth phases in the combustion flame. High-resolution TEM data clearly show fullerenes incorporated into the matrix of th...

Description
Summary:The presence of C60, carbon onions and higher fullerenes are confirmed in products from a carbon black combustion furnace. Acetylenic, C2, units participate in the formation and growth phases in the combustion flame. High-resolution TEM data clearly show fullerenes incorporated into the matrix of the carbon; MALDI mass spectral data show C60 and higher fullerenes in the soot itself. The toluene extracts of experimental carbons also contain C60.
