On the mechanism of carbon nanostructures formation at reaction of organic compounds at high pressure and temperature

Abstract

Based on the analysis of the data on the behavior of electric conductivity at the detonation of condensed high explosives (HEs) with the composition CaHbNcOd and the carbon mass fraction higher than 0.1, the conclusion was made of the presence of long carbon nanostructures. These structures penetrate all the space of reacting HE. The structures are formed already in the chemical peak region, and they evolve along the detonation wave.
