title: Electric Arc Methods to Synthesize Carbon Nanostructures
abstract: The (mainly authors') publications on the problems of electric arc synthesis (EAS) of different carbon nanostructures (CNS) are reviewed. EAS of CNS can be carried out in both gas and liquid environments. EAS in a gaseous environment has a number of advantages such as high productivity and speed of the condensation process as well as ease of mode control. However, this method of synthesis has also disadvantages; it requires complex vacuum and cooling systems, which make the installation bulky. I
