Metallized SWCNT - Promising way to low sensitive high energetic nanocomposites
The single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) is proposed as the best protective coating for energetic metal nanoparticles. An advanced laser-based technology has been applied to synthesize SWCNT filled or covered by metal. This laser synthesis of metallized SWCNT operates under the normal conditions that could be a basis for a high-productive technology of continuous synthesis of metalllized SWCNT.
