Abstract: The coexistence of acidic and basic O and N sites were functionalized via amination to characterize the samples of vapor grown carbon nanofibers (VGCNFs) modified by treatment of the oxidized CNFs with N[H.sub.3]. The results revealed the potential application of the N-containing nanocarbon materials obtained via amination in catalysis as well as electronic device materials.
