Abstract

This work investigates the construction of a cold wall chemical vapour deposition system for producing carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers from a solid carbon source, camphor. A high temperature ceramic heater was fabricated and utilized inside a 50 mm diameter quartz tube. This reaction takes pl...
