Explaining Bamboo-Like Carbon Fiber Growth Mechanism: Catalyst Shape Adjustments above Tammann Temperature

The mechanism of bamboo-like growth behavior of carbon fibers is discussed. We propose that there is a requirement to have this type of growth: operation above the Tammann temperature of the catalyst (defined as half of the melting point). The metal nanoparticle shape can then change during reaction...
