The effect exerted by electrochemical oxidative modification of carbon nanofibers and nanotubes by anodic and successive cathodic and anodic polarization in aqueous solutions of electrolytes H2SO4, CH3COONH4, HNO3, (NH4)(2)SO4, H2SO4 + (NH4)(2)SO4 on the structure and morphology of the fibers constituting the nanomaterials, on the composition of surface groups, on the stationary electrode potential of carbon nanofibers, and on properties of epoxy-carbon composites was studied. The results of the electrochemical modification were compared to the results of chemical modification of carbon nanofibers in a 6.0 M HNO3 solution and of carbon nanotubes in a mixture of concentrated acids H2SO4 + HNO3.
