COMPARATIVE STUDY OF PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF ULTRADISPERSE DIAMOND AND SHUNGITE NANOCARBON

摘要

Nanocarbon materials have attracted considerable interest of scientists in a wide range of disciplines due to a highly developed surface and reactivity. Since prospective applications of nanocarbons became visible the main accent was shifted to the general physical chemical problems of nanoparticles (NP), namely their aggregation. NPs aggregation takes place at the structure formation stage and under different treatment procedures. Aggregation could result in new properties of convenient materials when incorporating carbon NPs and unpredictable effect of NPs on the environment. Most of the ultradisperse systems formed are metastable, and it is, therefore, important to develop conditions under which they could be kept stable for a long time. The structure and dynamics of formation of a nanoscale carbon net can be described by comparative study of synthetic and natural nanocarbon materials if they are morphologically and genetically similar.
