Abstract

Carbon nanomaterials are the major and fastest growing area of nanotechnology. Their exceptional properties find application in numerous sectors of the economy. However, their large-scale production with adequate quality is still an open problem. In the present work, the advances obtained in the development of the submerged arc discharge technology for the production of carbon nanostructures in the Nanosciences Group of CEADEN are presented. We also report the implementation of methods for the safety evaluation of the in vitro use of carbon nanostructures synthesized using this method.
