The paper investigates the functionalization of carbon nanotube layers in nitrogen plasma. Scanning electron microscopy studies have shown changes in the morphology of the nanotube layer after plasma treatments. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and infrared spectroscopy revealed that nitrogen is embedded in the structure of graphene nanotube layers in pyridine, pyrrole, and graphite-like configurations as a result of plasma treatments. The result of plasma treatment is an increase in the electrical conductivity of the nanotube layer. Keywords: Carbon nanotubes, Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, IR-spectroscopy, Nitrogen plasma.
