Abstract:
Literature on the modification of carbon nanotubes and nanofibers in a low temperature plasma has been surveyed. Basic techniques for the treatment of nano-objects in discharges of various types and various devices used in these processes have been described. Instrumental methods for the investigation of plasma modified carbon nanotubes and nanofibers and the properties of composites prepared from them with different polymer matrices have been discussed. The modification of carbon nanotubes using low temperature plasma is apparently a promising method that makes it possible both to change the properties of nanotubes and to substantially improve the properties of composite materials that contain them. The plasma treated nanotubes are more uniformly distributed in the bulk of the composite and improve its mechanical and electrical properties.
