Description
Summary:<p>Abstract</p> <p>With using the carbon nano-tube (CNT) of high chemical activity, nano-TiC<it><sub>x </sub></it>particles with different growth shapes were synthesized through the self-propagating high temperature in the 80 wt.% metal (Cu, Al, and Fe)-Ti-CNT systems. The growth shapes of the TiC<it><sub>x </sub></it>particles are mainly octahedron in the Cu- and Al-Ti-CNT systems, while mainly cube- and sphere-like in the Fe-Ti-CNT system.</p>
