Abstract. Nanocarbon materials and method of their production, developed by TMSpetsmash Ltd. (Kyiv, Ukraine), are reviewed. Multiwall carbon nanotubes with surface area 200-500 m2/g are produced in industrial scale with use of CVD method. Ethylene is used as a source of carbon and Fe-Mo-Al- mixed oxides as catalysts. Fumed silica is used as a pseudo-liquid diluent in order to decrease aggregation of nanotubes and bulk density of the products. Porous carbon nanofibers with surface area near 300-500 m2/g are produced from acetylene with use of (Fe, Co, Sn)/C/Al203-Si02 catalysts prepared mechanochemically. High surface area microporous nanocarbon materials were prepared by activation of carbon nanofibers. Effective surface area of these nanomaterials reaches 4000-6000 m2/g (by argon desorption method). Such materials are prospective for electrochemical applications. Methods of catalysts synthesis for CVD of nanocarbon materials and mechanisms of catalytic CVD are discussed. 

There are several reports on the preparation of SiC nanowires in the literature but fewer on the preparation of SisKi nanowires.38-39 The methods employed for the synthesis of SiC nanowires have been varied. Since both SiC and Si3N, are products of the carbothermal reduction of SI02, it should be possible to establish conditions wherein one set of specific conditions favor one over the other. We have been able to prepare SijN nanowires,40 by reacting multiwalled carbon nanotubes produced by ferrocene pyrolysis with ammonia and silica gel at 1360... 

The last few years have seen the extensive use of nanoparticles because of the small size of the filler and the corresponding increase in the surface area, allowing to achieve the required mechanical properties at low filler loadings. Nanometer-scale particles including spherical particles such as silica or titanium dioxide generated in-situ by the sol-gel process (4-8), layered silicates (9-12), carbon (13) or clay fibers(14,15), single-wall or multiwall carbon nanotubes (16,17) have been shown to significantly enhance the physical and mechanical properties of rubber matrices.

A mixture of Ni°/NiO, produced by thermal decomposition of nickel acetate, dispersed on either silica or cordierite supports, was found to be catalytically active for the decomposition of methane without the need for any pre-treatment. Other authors used Ni catalysts supported on zirconia to produce H2 and a high yield of multiwalled carbon nanotubes. Raman spectroscopy suggested that carbon nanotubes formed at temperatures higher that 973 K had more graphite-like structure than those obtained at lower temperatures. They also reported that feed gas containing methane and hydrogen caused slow deactivation of the catalyst, and carbon yield increased with increasing Hg partial pressure in the feed gas. For a commercial Ni catalyst (65% wt Ni supported on a mixture of silica and alumina) it was found that catalyst deactivation depends on the...

The addition of nanoparticles to synthetic rubber resulting in enhancement in thermal, stiffness and resistance to fracture is one of the most important phenomena in material science technology. The commonly used white filler in mbber industry are clay and silica. The polymer/clay nanocomposites offer enhanced thermo mechanical properties. Bourbigot et al. observed that the thermal stability of polystyrene (PS) is significandy increased in presence of nanoclay [75]. Thermal and mechanical properties of clays multiwalled carbon nanotubes reinforced ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) prepared through melt blending showed synergistic effect in properties [76].

Sorbent selection SPE is based on the use of different types of absorbents such as octadecyl-bonded silica (Cis) [3,7,12], octyl-bonded silica (Cs) [3], cross-linked polystyrene-divinylbenzene (PS-DVB) [8,9,11,13], multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) [10]. 

It is of interest to determine the flame retardant effectiveness of shapes or types of nanoparticles other than layered silicates, to find what shape or type of nanoparticle is most effective for improving the flammability properties of commodity polymers. In this chapter, flammability properties of nanocomposites containing nanoscale oxides such as nanoscale silica particles and metal oxides, polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSSs), and carbon-based nanoparticles such as graphite, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), and carbon nanofibers (CNFs) are described and a flame retardant mechanism of these nanoparticles is discussed.

The 0-d nanoparticles can be nano-metal oxides (such as silica,1 titania,2 alumina3), nano-metal carbide,4 and polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS),5 to name just a few the 1-d nanofibers can be carbon nanofiber,6 and carbon nanotubes (CNT),7 which could be single-wall CNTs (SWCNT) or multiwall CNTs (MWCNT) etc. the 2-d nano-layers include, but are not limited to, layered silicates,8 layered double hydroxides (LDH),9 layered zirconium phosphate,10 and layered titanates,11 etc. 3-d nano-networks are rarely used and thus examples are not provided here. 

Nanofillers may be nanoclays, carbon nanotubes (single or multiwall) (CNTs), silica, layered double hydroxides (LDHs), metal oxides, etc., offering the promise of a variety of new composites, adhesives, coatings, and sealant materials with specific properties [32-37]. Among the fillers mentioned, nanoclays have attracted most of the academia and industry interest, due to their abrmdance as raw materials and to the fact that their dispersion in polymer matrices has been studied for decades [38]. In fact, there are three major polymer nanocomposites categories in terms of nanofiller type that are expected to compile the global nanocomposites market in 2011 nanoclay-reinforced (24%), metal oxide-reinforced (19%), and CNTs-reinforced (15%) ones [39-41].
