MICRO-DOMAIN GRAPHITIC MATERIALS AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

This invention relates to a method for producing micro-domain graphitic materials by use of a plasma process, and to novel micro-conical graphitic materials. By micro-domain graphitic materials we mean fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, open conical carbon structures (also named micro-cones), preferably flat graphitic sheets, or a mixture of two or all of these. The novel carbon material is open carbon micro-cones with total disclination degrees 60~ and/or 120~, corresponding to cone angles of respectively 112.9~ and/or 83.6~.
