Abstract
In this study, Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) were chemically treated in order to investigate the structural and chemical changes in them and to use them for sensor applications. Raman spectroscopic analysis reveals that the chemically treated MWCNTs are useful for chemical and gas sensor applications.
