Abstract

Since the discovery of carbon nanotubes by Iijima carbon nanomaterials have been pronounced as the most perspective material family for nanoelectronic applications. For future using the methods of production as well as for characterisation of such materials should be prepared. The catalytic methods used by us for preparation of different carbon nanoforms have been presented. The nanomaterial composed of the graphene structure and it's changes to the other structures has been studied.
During this study the new boron nitride nanocarbon multitubes for various application has been performed. Such prepared material has been found as a very different comparing with hexagonal carbon boron nitride known in macroscale.
In the next step the procedure for preparation of the carbon boron nanotubes has been performed. The fairly high concentration of born has been measured. Introducing of boron guest atoms to the structure of single wall nanotubes leads to the formation of the new metallic like nanostructure with the possible designing of electronic properties.
Starting from the carbon source the possibility of the production of the carbon nanomaterials with the extremely high structural stability with semiconducting as well as with metallic properties has been shown. Set of characterization techniques were proposed.
