ELECTRIC FIELD-ASSISTED FLAME SYNTHESIS OF CARBON NANOPARTICLE FILMS

This work summarises the main findings of a joint research activity, carried out within the Italian PRIN Project MagicDust, which couples dedicated experimental campaigns and physical-mathematical modelling to exploit the main features of the electric field-assisted flame synthesis of Carbon NanoParticles (CNPs). The experimental and model results reveal that the new flame synthesis method can produce films with features very different from those obtained by conventional thermophoretic deposition, opening new possibilities in the production of CNP films with tunable properties.
