Formation and properties of SiC and C particle nano-colloids in non-polar liquids
Résumé
Electrochemical etching of polycrystalline SiC is used in order to form SiC nanoparticles. During the process, both SiC and carbon-related nanoparticles like onion like carbon are formed. The two different species can be selected by centrifugation. Both nanoparticles have been functionalized for dispersion in non-polar liquids.
