ABSTRACT
Carbon nanocapsules (CNCs) were discovered within the carbonaceous deposits formed by the electric arc discharge process. Usually in all arc discharge methods, the plasma discharge is initiated by contacting an anode with the cathode. To develop the plasma discharge method, liquid benzene was used as a carbon source and copper was selected as the material for the electrodes. Centrifugation was used to separate the carbonaceous powder produced from the remaining liquid benzene. The chapter discusses the synthesis of the metal-filled CNCs by the developed plasma processing in the ultrasonic cavitation field of organic liquid. It describes the structure and magnetic properties of the CNCs. Traditional and modified arc discharge methods have been used to synthesize metal-filled CNCs. The chapter provides a short literary review on the possible biomedical applications and different synthesis methods of magnetic metal-filled CNCs. It also describes the structure and morphology of the iron carbide-filled CNCs coated with polyethylene glycol 3400.
