  ABSTRACT: The effect of modifying the surface of multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNT’s) by oxygen and nitrogen on the strength characteristics of the fiberglass filled with them was investigated by testing for tension and bending. The method of obtaining nitrogen-containing nanostructures is developed. It was shown that in the epoxide system LR285-LH286 hydrophobic CNT’s (outgoing) at introducing into the catalyst polymerization of LH286, increase the strength with respect to unreinforced CNT’s by 48% - 54%. Oxidized CNT’s (200 A?h/kg) introduced into the resin LR285 increase the strength by 59%. The distribution of the filler particles in size, both in the epoxy resin and in the catalyst, depends on their concentration nonlinear, and correlates with the strength characteristics of the composite.
