The aim of the study is to develop information systems for supporting and supporting decision-making in the production of a metal oxide catalyst that provides targeted synthesis of carbon nanotubes by gas-phase chemical deposition. To achieve the goal, the following tasks were solved: a new approach to the process of creating a catalyst for the thermal decomposition of unstable compounds for synthetic nanotubes was developed; experimental studies of the effect on the post-thermal treatment of the catalyst and its precursors by physical action (ultrasonic, electromagnetic and microwave fields, etc.), which were obtained the approximating characteristics of the synthesized models of carbon nanostructures on the parameters of the process of pre- and post-thermal treatment of the catalyst were used to create a recommendation module. On the basis of the results obtained, blocks of implementation and technologies were developed, used in the creation of a system for maintaining and supporting solutions for the production of a catalyst for synthetic nanotubes. The application of the developed system of maintenance and support of decisions makes it possible to form a catalyst that makes it possible to synthesize carbon nanotubes with specified characteristics. Also, the use of this information system in the production of a catalyst helps to expand the range of synthesized nanoproducts in the process of gas-phase chemical deposition without changing the composition of the catalyst.
