Abstract
The structural changes of condensed fullerenes C60 and C28 at a temperature increase from 200 K to 2000 K have been studied by computational methods using the TERRA software for carbon-argon systems. The processes of destruction of fullerenes C60 and C28 molecules are presented, and the temperature ranges of their thermal stability are determined: up to 1000 K and up to 400 K, respectively. The following thermophysical parameters of the C60-Ar and C28-Ar systems are considered: specific volume, entropy, total enthalpy, total internal energy, equilibrium specific heat, molar mass of the gas phase, gas constant, and mass fraction of the condensed phase. A comparative analysis of their changes with increasing temperature is carried out. The results obtained in the course of thermodynamic modeling are similar to the results of a full-scale experiment conducted under similar conditions. In the future, the obtained data can be used to determine the explosive and fire-hazardous properties of fullerenes as a dispersed solid.
