Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper emphasizes the primitive study of flame synthesis of carbon nanotube using camphor and its characterization. Flame of camphor was deposited on a conical cap of the chamber through a condensation process, and it was collected from the mid portion of the cap after 6 h, at room temperature 25°C. The collected material was mixed with 10% PVA for proper adhesion of molecules. The pelletization of this powder was done by applying uniaxial pressure of 5 tons. This pellet was used as a sensing element and was investigated using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). SEM studies show carbon nanotubes like leaf veins with some fatty materials. Average diameter of carbon nanotubes using Debye-Scherrer's formula was found to be 30 nm.
