Resumen de Bamboo-Like Carbon fibers growth mechanism
Bamboo-like growth behavior of carbon fibers is explained. There is a requirement to have this type of growth: to operate above the Tammann temperature of the catalyst. The metal nanoparticle can change shape during reaction (sintering-like behavior) so that CNT growth adjusting geometry. At nanoscale, Fick’s laws still apply. Nanoparticles with a diameter below 20 nm show a reduction of melting point (mp) and Tammann temperature (TTa).
