Abstract

Ceramic barriers avoid catalyst diffusion to produce better multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNT) on carbon fiber fabrics (CF). We developed a simple method to produce efficiently a silica layer from TEOS pyrolysis at similar conditions of CNT growth from camphor and ferrocene mixtures. This protective layer prevents iron diffusion and allows the vertical alignment of CNTs.
