Low-temperature plasma treatment is effective for material surface modification. Our group has previously demonstrated that functionalizing multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) using this method improves the mechanical properties of polymer composites.Recently, W. Jadwisienczak et al. reported the successful magnetization of graphene by substituting fluorine atoms with nitrogen atoms using chemical reactions. Inspired by this, and considering that carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are allotropes of graphene, we investigated the feasibility of nitriding and magnetizing CNT surfaces via nitrogen plasma treatment.As a preliminary result, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis of the plasma-treated MWCNTs revealed a distinct peak around 400 eV. This indicates successful nitrogen attachment on the MWCNT surfaces, suggesting the potential for plasma-induced magnetization. This presentation discusses the details of this investigation.
