摘要: Abstract This work reports on the quantitative determination of carboxylic groups created upon HNO 3 treatment at multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) surface. To this purpose, MWCNTs have been oxidized by refluxing in acid for different periods time (from 1 h to 12 h). The main goal present study comprises development a simple analytical methodology based Boehm’s titration that enables rapid estimation total and their discrimination from sites MWCNT surface as result treatment. trends observed are correlated with Raman spectroscopy analyses.
