The invention relates to a method for the synthesis of carbon nanotubes on the surface of a material. The invention more particularly relates to a method for the synthesis of carbon nanotubes (or CNT) at the surface of a material using a carbon source comprising acetylene and xylene, and a catalyst containing ferrocene. The method of the invention has the advantage, amongst others, of enabling the continuous synthesis of nanotubes when desired. Also, the method of the invention is carried out at temperatures lower than those of known methods and on materials on which the growth of carbon nanotubes is difficultly reproducible and/or difficultly homogenous in terms of CNT diameter and density (number of CNT per surface unit). Said advantages, amongst others, make the method of the invention particularly useful at the industrial level. The invention also relates to materials that can be obtained by said method and to the use thereof in all the known application fields of carbon nanotubes, in particular as a reinforcement for preparing structural and functional composite materials. |
