Nanocomposites consisting of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) and TiN nanoparticles were fabricated. For the deposition of TiN nanoparticles on two types of MWNT, we used laser ablation of TiN in the presence of N-2 gas. TiN nanoparticles with diameters of 25 to 60 nm were partly deposited on as-grown MWNTs. On the other hand, agglomerated nanoparticles covered ultrasonically treated MWNTs. We discuss the size distribution and morphology of the TiN nanoparticles on the basis of clusters and nanoparticles formed in the gas phase and the surface properties of the MWNTs.
