Abstract
In this article we explored the sustainability of carbon nanocomposite material under high temperature and pressure shock waves developed in an air ambience. The changes in the morphology, crystal structure and electrical properties of carbon nanostructures are discussed by comparing with untreated structures. After shock wave treatment, we have noticed two typical modifications such as weight-loss in the deposited material and formation of diamond nanoparticles. However, the impact of shock wave is limited to the carbon nanoparticles those are residing on the top-surface of the films. Degrade in the overall quality of treated films and increase in their electrical resistance has been noticed.
