- Abstract
The article informs about a work, in which a solid-cored and less-ordered carbon nanofibers (CNFs) is fabricated on carbon steels and low-alloy carbon steel substrates by using ethanol flames. The diameter of the CNFs ranged between 20 and 250 nm. A "solid-cored mechanism" was proposed to explain the present results, which suggested that the strong affinity of Fe for carbon resulted in the fast diffusion inside the Fe-contained particles and forms the solid-cored CNFs. This is a continuation of a previous research on synthesis of carbon nanotubes by using ethanol flames.
