Abstract

The structure of composites based on chitosan filled with multi-walled carbon nanotubes, including those decorated with magnetite, has been studied. The composites were prepared without and under influence of the magnetostatic field. The change in morphology of the films under magnetostatic field was detected. Polymer filling with oxidized magnetite-contained nanotubers are shown to promote formation of the uniform smooth film.
