Abstract :
In this work the study results of nanopowders properties produced by electrical explosion of titanium wires in various medium (air, oxygen-argon mixture, and water) are presented. It was observed that the phase and size composition of nanopowders depends on the synthesis conditions: energy consumed by wire before explosion, material of wires, kind of working medium. Detailed study of the reactions mechanism of nanoparticles formation of chemical compounds under EEW was carried out.
