โฆ Synopsis
The formation rate of disperse carbon fibers during the thermal decomposition of acetylene in mixtures with nitrogen and hydrogen at temperatures from 450 to 700ยฐC on metal wire surface was investigated.
Direct observations of the initial process stages were carried out in an electron microscope.
A comparison of the obtained results brings to a conclusion that the process takes place in two stages, the first one being a catalytic activation of the surface with a creation of active centres on it, and the second a growth of carbon fibers on the obtained active areas.
