In this study, carbon nanotubes were synthesized by mechano-thermal process from elemental graphite powders. Initially, high ultra-active amorphous carbon was obtained by short time milling process from graphite under inert atmosphere. Then, isothermal annealing of milled graphite powders was conducted at 1600oC for 6 h in Ar gas. From the investigations of Transmission electron microscopy and Scanning electron microscopy, it was revealed that bamboo and cylindrical nanotubes were formed after isothermal annealing. In this study, nanotubes which have the diameters between 50 and 200 nm were produced at a short time ball milling process and a lower annealing temperature of 1600 oC although bamboo and cylindrical nanotubes are reported to be produced after ball milling of graphite for 150 h and then annealing amorphous graphite at least 1800 oC..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
