In this work an analysis of influence of experimental parameters on a process of hydrophilization of multiwall carbon nanotubes by oxidation with nitric acid. Oxygen-containing groups can be produced on the surface of carbon nanotubes in surface concentration in range 1.5-2.8 nm-2. Formation of oxygen-containing groups on the CNT surface was approved by differential thermal analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Sedimentation stability of CNT suspension in aqueous media was investigated showing high results (the suspension is stable for 3 weeks and more). Modified carbon nanotubes can be used as addition to water-based concretes. Introduction of modified carbon nanotubes can be performed by direct mixing with water or by means of preparation of mixtures with surfactants.
