Carbon nanochemistry

It is especially important to CTeate and develop terminology of nanochemistry as a part of a new area of science - nanology, or the science of the nanoworld (nanologists prefer this term to a more widely used word nanoscience). Figures 3.2-3.8, show the diversity of the morphology of nanostructures of carbon, sihcon and boron carbides, which were synthesised via hydrocarbon pyrolysis [2-5] or from elanental substances [6-10]. Morphologies of carbon nanotubes thus obtained are very unusual (Fig. 3.2). 

These examples of functionalization of carbon nanotubes demonstrate that the chemistry of this new class of molecules represents a promising field within nanochemistry. Functionalization provides for the potential for the manipulation of their unique properties, which can be tuned and coupled with those of other classes of materials. The surface chemistry of SWCNTs allows for dispersibility, purification, solubilization, biocompatibility and separation of these nanostructures. Additionally, derivatization allows for site-selective nanochemistry applications such as self-assembly, shows potential as catalytic supports, biological transport vesicles, demonstrates novel charge-transfer properties and allows the construction of functional nanoarchitectures, nanocomposites and nanocircuits.

This chapter is dedicated to the development of Nanochemistry methods for the Metal/Carbon Nanocomposites Synthesis as well as for the Materials modification by these Nanocomposites. The perspectives of the scientific trend introducing with the organization of modem Nanocomposites production in Nanoindustry are discussed. Nanochemistry methods for the creation of Metal/Carbon Nanocomposites in nanoreactors of polymeric matrixes are considered. The principal characteristics of nanocomposites obtained are given. With the help of IR and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies it is found that the media respond to the introduction of super small quantities of nanostructures. The results of the modification of inorganic and organic materials with super small quantities of fine dispersed suspensions of Metal/Carbon Nanocomposites are presented.
