Carbon Nanomaterials: Synthesis, Properties, and Applications

The development of scientific directions initiated by R. A. Buyanov, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, laid the foundations of the methods to synthesize catalytic nanocarbon materials. As a continuation of his ideas, the studies in the area of thermocatalytic synthesis of carbon-mineral supports were carried out at the Institute of Combustion Problems (Almaty, Kazakhstan). A review of recent works on the formation of carbon nanotubes and nanocarbon sorbents is presented, the areas of their practical application are described. Results of the studies of the synthesis of carbon nanotubes on the catalysts obtained by means of solution combustion on glass cloth and the development of flexible heating elements on this basis are considered.
