Evaluation of Carbon Nanotubes Making Techniques

Mansoureh Pourjafar
Abstract

After the initial discovery of Carbon Nanotubes in the Grime by electrical discharge, various methods have been developed to produce Carbon Nanotubes. In this study, four more conventional methods for producing Carbon Nanotubes have been evaluated. These include: Electrical arc discharge, Laser ablation, Sedimentation by chemical vapor and HIPco. The last method mentioned is highly regarded in the last few years and it have been produced the subject of many investigations in the field of Carbon Nanotubes. The results of this research show that HIPco production method has ability to supply mass production of Carbon Nanotubes in the future.
