Abstract

Two new technologies were developed for manufacturing of novel carbon nanomaterials (fullerenes, nanotubes, carbonic nanoclusters) based on the idea of high-energy plasmochemistry synthesis, using the methods of electrical wire explosion and spark erosion of graphite and metallic materials (nickel, iron, copper) in an organic medium. A wide spectrum of fullerene-like materials including the highest ones (C70 and higher) was discovered and studied using X-ray diffraction analysis, electron microscopy and mass-spectroscopy. Ferromagnetic properties of carbon nanomaterials were detected and studied. An important role of catalysts in the process of carbon nanomaterial formation was established.
