Abstract
This work is devoted to testing a lithium CPS based on carbon fabric reinforced with carbon nanotubes under conditions of thermal and radiation loads. The paper considers and analyzes: the properties of carbon nanotubes and methods of their synthesis, the nature of the interaction of carbon materials with liquid lithium at different temperatures. A description of all the main stages in the manufacture of lithium CPS based on carbon fabric reinforced with carbon nanotubes is given. Microstructural studies of a manufactured lithium CPS sample based on carbon fabric reinforced with carbon nanotubes are presented. Studies have shown that a carbon fabric with a fiber surface reinforced with carbon nanotubes is completely wetted by liquid lithium. The developed technology is fully suitable for the manufacture of lithium CPS samples for further research. The results of experiments on the interaction of lithium CPS based on graphite fabric reinforced with carbon nanotubes with hydrogen isotopes under thermal and radiation loads are presented.
