Raman spectroscopy is a technique which allows getting information about chemical structure of the molecules. Recently it got widely used for examinations of carbon based materials. In this study Raman and UV/VIS spectroscopic techniques were used to characterize the process of modification of carbon nanotubes. Single walled carbon nanotubes were non-covalently bounded using different surfactants. By UV/VIS spectroscopy it was established what surfactants react better with the nanotubes and therefore they become more soluble in water. Raman spectra of the dispersions were obtained. Using them, we got information about the structure of the carbon nanotubes. By the wavenumber of RBM-modes in spectra of the CNT dispersions diameter of the nanotubes were calculated and possible chiralities were proposed. By comparing G- and D-band intensities presence and amount of semiconducting and metallic carbon nanotubes were determined.
