Modification of carbon nano-objects in low-temperature plasma for use in polymer nanocomposites

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.
