The present invention relates to a process for modifying carbon particles, such as graphites, graphene nanoplatelets, carbon black and other carbons, and to modified carbon particles obtainable by such a process. The process for modifying carbon particles is performed within an apparatus which comprises a sample holder located below a reactive zone and comprises the following steps: a) provision of carbon particles on the sample holder of apparatus, b) fluidizing the carbon particles in apparatus with a gaseous stream into the reactive zone, c) keeping the carbon particles with the gaseous stream in the reactive zone for at least 1 sec and feeding energy of at least 2.4 kj into the reactive zone, and d) modification of the carbon particles in the reactive zone to obtain modified carbon particles. It is preferred that the carbon particles are modified by a fluidized bed plasma process. |
