Popis: Solubility of acid functionalized carbon nanofibers is found to be greatly dependent on a degree of functionalization and pH value of solution. The solubility is close to zero at pH 1.0–1.5 and slowly declines with further growth of pH value up to 12. Addition of zirconium salts to the solution notably changed the behavior of CNFs; in a pH window between 1.5 and 3.5 the solution contains zirconium and CNFs in a large concentration.
