Abstract

Several forms of nanonetworked carbon materials were synthesized by high pressure and high temperature treatments of fullerene C$\_$60/ and single-walled carbon nanotube bundles. Structural properties (e.g. thermal expansion coefficients and compressibilities) of the synthesized materials were investigated by XRD measurements using synchrotron X-ray. Their formation mechanisms are also discussed.
