Original Abstract

Knowledge of the materials behavior is particularly required in the environment where the materials are exposed to neutron flux. This article focuses on new promising materials that can be used in a nuclear fuel, a nuclear reactor or its closest vicinity. Carbon nano materials can be included among these types of materials. Composite materials have generally improved mechanical and thermal properties with addition of nanoparticles. However the additives itself have an impact on the behavior of the neutron field. This article describes an experiment that examined the behavior of neutrons in carbon nano materials. The main goal of the experiment was to determine how neutron scattering is affected, when the sample is exposed to neutron beam. The aim of the experiment was to determine the influence of the different types of nano materials on the neutron beam. The main nano materials used during the experiment were unoriented multi walled carbon nano tubes, carbon nano fibers and common graphite.
