| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
New methodologies for synthesising functional carbon nano materials via self-assembly utilising critical fluids were developed. Metal-filling carbon nanoparticles, carbon nano fibres, carbon nano coils and magnetic carbon nanotubes were synthesised by mixing metallocenes with critical fluids such as benzene and acetone and irradiating a UV laser into the fluids. The operational temperature was low since the critical temperature of the fluids is relatively low. The present synthetic methodologies are so simple that they can easily be applied to the production of other types of functional nano materials such as magnetic fullerene and graphene.
