Obtención y caracterización de nanoestructuras basadas en carbono a partir de resinas naturales por grafitización.

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to obtain and characterize carbon structures from a natural resin of a species endemic to the Andean region of Ecuador, Euphorbia laurifolia, in order to obtain an economical method for obtaining carbon-based structures. The LIG based on lechero Resin, was produced with a 445 nm laser. The type of research carried out was of experimental type, the information gathering instruments used were documents and laboratory experiments. The samples obtained were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy and Van der Pauw's technique with which it was possible to determine that the structures obtained present porous morphology that is constituted of disordered graphitic networks, with the presence of amorphous carbon besides presenting a very high surface resistance.
