Synthesis and Transformation of Carbonaceous Nanoparticles

Vito Mennella (INAF-Osservatorio Astronomico di Capodimonte)

There is a strong dependendence of the structural chemical and optical properties of carbonaceous nanoparticles on the production conditions. In addition, the properties of these particles are deeply modified by heat, UV and ion irradiation and gas interaction. We will discuss the synthesis and trasformation of carbon nanoparticles which have been proposed as carriers of aromatic and aliphatic spectroscopic features observed in the interstellar medium.
