Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for production of nanostmctures using a plasma generator. In an embodiment, a system for use with a reactor for synthesis of nanostmctures may include a chamber defining a pathway for directing a fluid mixture for the synthesis of nanostmctures through the chamber. The system may further include one or more heating zones disposed along the chamber to provide a temperature gradient in the chamber to form catalyst particles upon which nanostmctures can be generated from the components of the fluid mixture. The system may also include a plasma generator for generating a plasma flame in a conduit through which the fluid mixture may be passed to decompose a carbon source in the fluid mixture into its constituent atoms before proceeding into the reactor for formation of nanostmctures.

Abstract: Methods for manufacturing nanotube composite materials are provided. One method includes providing a nonwoven sheet of nanotubes (11) and infiltrating the sheet with a resin material. The infiltrated sheet is subsequently heated to pyrolize the resin. Another method includes providing a carbon-containing resin material and adding an appropriate concentration of catalyst particles. Thereafter, the catalyzed resin may be subject to a high temperature range, at which point carbon in the resin begins to couple to the catalyst particles. Continual exposure to high temperature leads to additional attachment of carbon to existing carbon on the particles, producing an array of multi wall carbon nanotubes (31) and composite material. A stent (40) may be manufactured from the composite material.
