Abstract

The influence of catalytic additives (various organometallic and inorganometallic compounds) in chlorinated polyvinyl chloride on the formation of carbon nanofibers on its surface under a high-power ion beam of nanosecond duration is studied. Ferrocene, which provides the growth of long (up to 10 μm) nanofibers with a narrow diameter distribution and a small number of pores in the underlying polymer layer, seems to be the optimal catalyst for chlorinated polyvinyl chloride. We found that carbon nanofibers grow on the surface of chlorinated polyvinyl chloride containing zinc chloride as a catalytic additive. This fact indicates that there is a new mechanism for the growth of carbon nanofibers on the surface of chloropolymers under high-power radiation conditions.
